(Continued from here)

Lucifer sauntered to the mall, with Galataya close beside him, still. He pushed open the door to the mall, and raised a careful eyebrow at the people hanging around the entrance. Shady bunch, those people were. Looked like they were waiting to kill someone.

"Ladies first," he said, politely, still holding the door open for her.

Galataya smiled and walked through, saying a small 'Thank You'. She glanced at the group gathered around as well, a little nervous as she studied their expressions. She unconciously stuck a little closer to Lucifer, as though the skinny boy could protect her better than she could protect herself. Well, being a mage, maybe he could....

"Any time, babycakes." Please note that Lucifer usually calls everyone he likes by endearing names, male and female alike. He entered, gracelessly, into the store, and looked sideways at her, murmuring, "something wrong?"

"I do not like the way those people were looking at us.... call me paranoid if you want." Galataya made sure that she looked as imposing as possible, a tactic she'd developed to safely get around downtown. Basically, it just meant standing tall, keeping a straight back, and walking with wide, purposeful strides. Make it look like you knew exactly what you were doing and where you were going.

"Oh, it's okay. I don't think they're going to do anything to us now... Not with all these people around." He gave an easy, relaxed shrug. "Unless they are still going to follow us, and then I could arrange for a pole to be shoved up their ass." Full of tact, isn't he.

"So, where we goin'?"

"I haven't a clue. But malls are meant for browsing, and at least wandering around in here is better than wandering around outside." She said conclusively, casting a look around the part of the mall she could see and seemingly looking for a store.

"And so many bodies wandering around here makes it almost uncomfortably warm," he added.

"Vellll..." he trailed off, looking for anything interesting around while he continued to amble through the mall. "we could either split up, or stick together, kill some time, and then go get some real food. None of that... heh.. trash."

"Hmn, well, I suppose whether we split up or not depends on what we want to go see. I've got a cell phone and you've got a cell phone, so that's no problem...." She clapped her hand to her head. "Speaking of which, I need your number. Mine's 623-626-1945." She whipped out her own phone to program his number in.

"Yeah, that's true." He said with a simple shrug, and reached down into his 'bottomless pit', which was also known as his pocket, and grabbed his cellphone. "'Kay," he nodded slightly, opening his cellphone and lightly touching the keys to program her number in. He repeated the numbers to her, in question if it was right, then gave his cellphone number.

Programming it into the little phone, Galataya flicked it closed and smiled. "Well then, we can go our seperate ways for now. Shall we agree on a meet up time or just call whenever we feel like?" She stuffed the phone into her pocket, and then reached up and pulled her hair out of the ponytail. Rubbing her scalp, she sighed.

"I don't really care, either way. Though, just calling is good." He dropped the phone back into his pocket as well. "Unless you'd prefer a specific time."
