"They leave class in another 15 minutes. So they should be here in 45 or so." Riyo says as Vivi shouldn;t worry about the money since any and all baby things in bulk or in general cost money. And not cheap either. The clothes would easily cost more than the diapers alone.

And Vivi will think about the money then too, when they're buying clothes. It's weird. He's a pet and so he's supposed to depend on others, mooching, but he doesn't like it really. Also, he isn't sure who's money they're spending. Either way, he'd feel about the same, but if it's Riyo's...they are his children too...but it is still a lot of money at one time. "Okay then..." He's just looking around a bit, doing the people watch thing right now.

Riyo thought for a moment before dragging Vivi to the grocery store area in the mall. "they have free things around here too." He smiiled as he got Vivi some samples of everything he could find being sampled right now. He walked them off to the mall part again before waiting for their friends? to come by and help out. He knew they were his but didn't know if Vivi considered them anything to him or not, still.

Vivi just lets himself be dragged into the grocery store, looking around a bit at the things around. He kind of starts purring as he munches on the free samples, following Riyo around. He likes these free samples. Vivi doesn't really have an opinion on Riyo's friends. They're nice and he likes them, but he feels more comfortable around Riyo.

(Never been to a mall with a grocery store.)

(we did we had a sobey's attached >D or something. Then wal-mart. Then walmart went down the street >D)

Riyo's glad when they get there, now for the more important shopping. At least once the girl stops choking Riyo from the good news, as she calls it. 2 hours later the shopping is done and there's clothes for a few different sizes since babies don't take long to grow out of the clothes.

Vivi just kind of follows, sucking on a fingernail. He's, currently, letting them make the decisions. He doesn't know about these things....and he doesn't really have a fashion sense or anything. Whatever fits, he'll wear it. That's the way it works for him at least.

Another 2 hours passed before they were done, being sent home all in two taxis as they all carried so much to the taxis. They had enough bags to carry each that it would be hard to walk home to the dorms. Once back, Riyo let everyone in before crashing on the couch.

By the time it's all over, Vivi is doing this zombie shuffle thing, yawning every once in awhile. And he's glad they aren't trying to drag those all the way back. He doesn't think he/they could do it. He at least attempts to help get stuff inside before going to just watch Riyo pretty much.

Riyo pulls Vivi over, cuddling him until he falls asleep. He uses Vivi as a blanket as he was too sleepy to bother getting an actual blanket. Even if it happened to be on the back of the futon, as usual. He wakes the next morning around 10, thankful no alarms had to be turned on.

Vivi just nestles into Riyo, yawning before falls asleep. He's warm and happy and that's all he needs to fall asleep. Oh, Vivi hates that alarm, so don't get him started. As Riyo starts waking up and moving, Vivi just stretches before getting up to waddle to the bathroom. Some things will never change.

Riyo does the usual, though now they have an appointment every 2-3 weeks with that doctor so until then, he goes through his mid-terms, passing them. He does the usual, ordering out or making things in the dorm to eat. He's getting better, he thinks. Though he'd never take on a meal that takes forever to prepare.

And if Riyo takes too long deciding to get/make food....Vivi just starts nibbling on him. It gets his point across quickly of FEED ME! He gets more used to the appointments though it's obvious he isn't overjoyed about them, but it's better than before. And Vivi would never complain. It's much better now than before he was sent here....even if it was on accident.

Riyo passed all of the mid-terms, bringing home the marks for Vivi to see. He knew soon he would have to choose classes or staying with Vivi for the days to come. Though he did have the cell now so that was better than nothing. So he could go to classes still and take his exams and pass the year, while awaiting a family.

Vivi just spends the time Riyo's away...doing whatever. Sometimes lighting everything on fire on the dragon games, sometimes doing nothing. He's always excited when Riyo comes back, waddle tackling him. Even if he tries not to show and doesn't say it....he worried while Riyo is gone. There's about 5 billion what ifs he can think about.
