WHO: Eli and Wanda
WHERE: the MAC, then some shopping place
WHEN: Backdated to Wednesday
SUMMARY: Wanda is going to help Eli shop because he is a fashion nightmare. Or at least fashion unpleasant dream.
WARNINGS: Nothing, really.
FORMAT: quick to the point to the point no faking

[Eli was kind of nervous about going shopping with Wanda, but he tried not to let it show. It was just not the sort of thing he did. Ever. Except maybe with his mom or something, and his mom never really criticized his fashion choices. Still, he had fun with Wanda and was looking forward to that part of it.

Which was why he was on time at the ground floor of the MAC to meet with Wanda, smiling when he saw her.]

Hey there!

It's a t-shirt, flannel, and pants.

[Eli held his arms out and slowly turned around.]

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[She grinned, amused.]

It's not what it is, Eli -- it's how it's made.

[When he faced her again, she reached up to straighten his collar, then smoothed down the flannel shirt against his chest.]

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[Eli whispered to her.]

I could get this at Target.

[Oh, well, not the touching of course, the touching is nice. God that was sad that he thought that much contact was so nice.]

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[Her face fell into a delicate pout.]

Did you not hear what I just said? [She lowered her voice to match his, resurfacing smile conspiratorial.] Besides which, you wouldn't have a team of capable and eager young women at your beck and call at Target, now, would you?

[Satisfied that his shirt was sufficiently straightened, she stepped back to look at him again.]

Now.. another?

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[The pout was completely unfair and he had no defense against it.]

I heard, I heard. [He smiled back.] Yeah, but you'd be there, right? That's the important part.

[Eli sighed and nodded.]

Okay, okay, the next one.

[A moment later, Eli was out in another (http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/2/optimized/1040452_fpx.tif?wid=325&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bilin&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg) outfit.]

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[Wanda might have gone a bit pink at his flirting -- for all of the come-ons she had fielded in her life, she wasn't used to this particular approach -- but she wore it well enough, favoring him with a shy little smile before she returned to her chair to wait for him.

The next outfit, however, had her pursing her lips in a little moue of displeasure.]

Hmm.. maybe if we close up the vest..?

[Helpfully, she stood, approaching with every intention of dressing him herself.]

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[Eli could tell that she didn't really care for the next outfit.]

You don't like it. You- Okay, you can try and close up the vest, sure.

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[And so she did! Very carefully, with small, deft fingers.]

It's better, but still not exactly.. you.

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

One shade of blue jeans and a t-shirt is me. But I'll go try something else.

[Eli doesn't add the "for you" that's really there. Not long after, he returns with his next outfit. (http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/7/optimized/1061177_fpx.tif?wid=325&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bilin&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg)

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[She brightens significantly, crossing back to him to slide her hands along the sleeves appraisingly.]

It's softer than it looks.

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[Oh, more touching, this is very good.]

I know, right? Very soft. Soft is good.

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[Her fingers trailed over his chest absently.]

So you like this one?

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[Eli bit his lip and nodded.]

Yeah, I, uh, I like this one uh, a lot.

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[She grinned.]

Good! Now try another.

[Turning with just the slightest flourish, she sauntered back to her chair to wait for him.]

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[So maybe Eli stood there for just a moment watching her go before he went back and changed into another outfit. (http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/2/optimized/1003742_fpx.tif?wid=325&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bilin&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg)]

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[Wanda clasped her hands together in delight when she saw him, bouncing to her feet.]

Oh, you look so handsome!

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[Eli blushed a bit at that.]

You really think so?

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[Oh, and that just made it better. She beamed at him.]

Definitely.

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[And now he's glancing away, sheepishly.]

It's just a white polo. Blueberry or something...

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, Burberry? That isn't just a polo, Eli -- can't you tell?

[She steps closer, sliding one hand over his chest -- that is, the shirt.]

Doesn't it feel good?

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[Eli's head snapped up when she slid a hand along his chest.]

Uhhhhhhhhhh...

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[She blinked at him, drawing back uncertainly.]

What's wrong?

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

[Eli snapped out of it, somewhat embarrassed.]

Oh, uh, nothing. Just... yeah, more than a polo, I can really feel the bluebury, burberry, whatever it is... very soft.

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

[She relaxed slightly, still a little wary.]

Alright, well.. good.

[solvedchevron.livejournal.com]

And this is- this is going down in the 'definite' pile.

[And Eli was off to try on another outfit (http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/9/optimized/1061179_fpx.tif?wid=325&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bilin&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg), merging a short time later.]
