The drive to the store was rather long, at least an hour and a half, and Connie was surprised Altair hadn't gotten sick, or maybe he was just good at hiding it. They weren't quite there yet though.
At the moment they were driving through the populated area heading to the store, it could be seen from where they were and she was happy for the ride to be over, she really needed to stretch. Looking over at Altair who was still looking out of the window, a smile was brought to her face. She had been feeling rather lonely, and when she got the necklace in the mail, it just added to her built up sadness. Living by yourself had many down falls, loneliness being one of them. Sure she had Jake who was rather close to her house, but it wasn't the same as having someone live with her, like Altair was going to.
She chuckled, he had only been here for a day and a little bit, but she already felt so much happier, she wanted him gone at first, but that was because she felt insecure, and unprepared, two things she really hated. She was just happy she had someone to talk to though, some conversations were lacking however, but she hoped she could help him get back to his time, if he really was from there.
Connie was about to drive into the plaza with the wal-mart, when a man turning out cut her off. Her foot slammed on the break and she cursed and honked her horn.
"Stupid moron! People can be so dense sometimes; did he even care that he could have crashed into me? He probably would have said it was my fault too." Connie fumed to herself in a low voice, not paying attention to Altair who was now staring at her. Connie noticed after she pulled into the plaza.
"What?" she asked half angry and embarrassed, before turning back to look for a parking space.
"Nothing." He answered an amused expression covering his face. Connie blushed in embarrassment, while turning into an empty parking space.
"Were here." Stated Connie before rolling up the windows and pulling her key out of the ignition, cutting the power. She than opened her door and stepped out, stretching a little before shutting her door. Altair soon followed out, stretching quickly, and heading to her side of the car.
Connie looked at Altair before walking past him and heading to the store entrance. It was a superstore, so it also had groceries. Entering the store with Altair following behind her, she grabbed a buggy and headed to the men's section. It seemed Altair was keeping close, which seemed the right course of action for him.
"Ok so pick whatever you feel comfortable wearing from here, and when we have enough clothes we can walk around the store and I can teach you what some of the stuff is." Stated Connie before walking over to a rack.
"These clothes are very ... different." Stated Altair looking at a top but not touching it.
"Well, this is what future clothing looks like. I think this is your size." She said holding it up to him. It was a blue t-shirt. Altair looked at it in distaste, and shook his head.
"What? You don't like it? Altair you need clothes, yours are practically destroyed and full of mud from the rain, and you stand out way too much" She said putting it down, and turning to him. There were a couple of people who were staring at us, while passing; just adding to her point.
"I would much rather wear white." He answered simply.
"Ok, white it is, pick stuff out in the size I showed you." Altair nodded before looking threw the racks.
He pulled out a white hoodie and handed it to her.
"Ya, you need more than this, do you want anything else?" she asked looking around for something.
"I like this, everything else is too colourful and flashy, it stands out to much for my liking." He answered not bothering to look anymore.
Connie huffed. "Ok I'll just get you more of these then." She said before looking threw the rack for more of the same, and throwing them in the buggy.
