[Adele huffs a soft laugh and continues along just next to Lupin, well within reach if she stumbled but not so close as to be imposing. A fine line that reminds her much of how it had been in the beginning, before the mess became, well. A mess. She'd put too much stock in one person too quickly. It's not something she'll do again, Lupin or no.
At least it wasn't that long a walk to the grocery store, and Adele subtly gave a look out across the plaza to a few other buildings that would contain Lupin's clothing proper.]
Mmm...Adele. Dellie belongs to Pinky now. So sorry.
[Action]
[She adopted a sulky tone that was almost like one Fujiko would use when she was being coy. Aurelie similarly looked around for any hints of the missing clothing, and briefly wondered why she had even allowed Adele to get under her skin in the first place. It was too many questions, too many pointed looks--
The overarching belief that Adele could compromise everything if she made a wrong move was what compelled Lupin to watch her instead of leave her ask too many questions on her own.
Never again.]
The rest of the pieces in there made me wonder if you had fallen into a storehouse where fashion designers keep rejected styles.
[A huff, and a distant look. The sky was so bright, like it had been that day at the end of June. There was so much laughter that day, laid out as a thin disguise for their lingering concerns. So much laughter and so many promises that followed...
Her eyes were off of the path. Lupin, having forgotten the uneven terrain for a moment, misstepped on a stray stone jutting out from the earthen path. He--disguise didn't matter for a moment-- grabbed for Adele's arm as a last fail safe before he stumbled.]
[Action]
[This was quite likely not what he had in mind, but a challenge is a challenge and Lupin seems to be doing well enough. Whether he understands the point to this exercise or not is something else entirely. The fact that not a single pair of shorts or slacks aside from leggings that couldn't be worn on their own had been left in his closet should have been hint enough.
Adele wears the pants in the relationship, were they hypothetically married. that she has him wandering around like this while she's keeping stride in a simple button down, slacks, hair bound up and slicked in place, and flats provides an excellent counterpoint to Lupin's current filmy, feminine form.
When Lupin stumbled she stepped in, deft as dancing, caught his arm and helped him along into the next step without making it apparent that Lupin had, in fact, stumbled.]
[Action]
She caught him on his stumble without word, maintaining her grace of motion while never breaking her pace. Lupin looked down at her for the briefest of moments, and was glad for the shield provided by the wide sunglasses. He didn't think that he could hide his surprise at her attentiveness.
Aurelie, back in disguise, quirked her lips into a shadow of a smile as she straightened her hat and leveled her gaze on the road once more.]
I do like challenges. [The husky purr was back, but her tone softened with her next words.] Everything is a challenge right now. Times are...'interesting.'
[The veil of emotional distance had returned, but Aurelie didn't pull away.]
