Calyx's eyes widened as she came out and a huge smile spread across his face. The dress was absolutely perfect, now the only question was, how would he get her to realize that.

Ceredin ducked her head.
Great.
Now he was laughing at her.
"Okay, okay, I know, it's awful, I'll go and Change back..." She turned around and walked back into the dressing room.

"Don't you dare change out of that dress." Calyx said, still smiling. "look i know you won't believe me but you look absolutely stunning."

Ceredin scowled, then spun and hissed at him, ears laid back against her head, baring her fangs. "Stop it!" she snapped. "Just stop it, okay? It isn't funny!" She'd told him, the first time he'd met her, that she was an ugly, horrible monster, and she still meant it. What was his problem? Did he think it was a joke?
It wasn't!
At the sight of fangs, the shopkeeper fainted.

"Ceredin, why in the world woul I lie to you? Its not like this is some sick joke or something. I really love, I really want to marry you, and i really really think that you in that dress is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen."

Ceredin stalked forward. Her hand lashed out and she slapped him across the face, leaving four long scratches.
A moment later, the dress fell empty to the ground and a black cat streaked out the door of the shop.
He was making fun of her! She knew that he liked her, certainly, and she felt very guilty about hitting him like that, but really!
Of course she wasn't going to do anything idiotic like break off the engagement over a joke like that, but it really wasn't fair.
"Ugh. It's so ugly. Why in the world is its hair green? Didn't I use a black cat? How horrid. I'll just have to dye its hair. Won't I, Cerey-werey?"
She hated being called Cerey-werey. Eris only called her that when she was in trouble. Ceredin hadn't liked being in trouble. She didn't remember much about her time with Eris, since the ritualistic mind-wipes kept most of it hidden, but she didn't like being in trouble.

Calyx rolled his eyes, somehow, this didn't surprise him at all. He walked to the counter and paid for the dress by leaving the right amount of money on the counter. "Now...where could she have gone...?"

Ceredin sulked in an alley.
She'd go and apologize later- for now, she was sulking.
And she had been in such a good mood, earlier.
Well, a good mood for Ceredin.
Which wasn't that great in the first place.
Now she felt badly. He hadn't meant anything by it.

Calyx made straight for the nearest alley, and as he expected, found her, she'd run before, and she was kinda precictable when she got like this. He sat down next to the black cat and looked at her. "So...why don't you believe me?"

Ceredin didn't look at him.
Dammit.
I'm sorry, she said sulkily.

Calyx smiled and petted her gently. "You don't need to apologize...i just wish you'd believe me when i tell you something..."

Ceredin twitched away from his hand.
Just... forget it. I'll go and find Neona...
She turned around, still not looking at him, and jumped over him, slinking off toward the forest.

Calyx caught her by the collar in mid-jump. "Oh no you don't." he laughed, pulling her into a hug. "You're not going anywhere." He grinned.

Ceredin hissed and turned her head to bite his hand, then thought better of it and closed her jaws with a click and let herself hang limply in his grip.
Meh. She couldn't think of anything else.

"Look, i won't bring it up again, just please don't run away anymore?" he asked, looking into her green slitted eyes.
