"Uh..." Aaron mumbled, not sure if he liked the sound of that.

"I'm sure we would have heard about it if he was," Raven explained.

Too late. Kandy dragged him over to the line of clip ons and looked at some small golden hoops. Picking out of for the left ear she held it up. "Not too sparkly and it goes with your outfit." she nodded happily.

Laurel paused and then nodded, managing a small smile for Raven. "I know... this is been hard for you." she suddenly said. "I..." she paused, "I can't thank you for it. But I can acknowledge it." she finally added, dropping her gaze slightly.

"Uh... I don't know..." Aaron replied. He obviously wasn't one for jewelry. "Will it hurt if it catches on something?"

Raven was silent for a moment before suddenly giving Laurel a big hug. "Any fake boyfriend would do the same~" he teased before letting her go. "Hey," he decided, "I think you could use some new earrings to."

Kandy shook her head, "It would just pop off." she replied before clipping it onto his ear. It was painless. She smiled, "Much better." she nodded.

Laurel flinched a little as she was glomped but slowly seemed to relax a bit in his embrace. "... I only wear earrings for my costumes." she explained after a moment, glancing back at Aaron and Kandy.

Aaron flinched a little in anticipation and blinked when he felt nothing. "... It makes that much of a difference?" he asked, wondering how such a small thing would matter.

"Then let's look for some costume earrings and maybe find a casual pair along the way," he said happily as he started back for Aaron and Kandy.

Kandy nodded emphatically, "You look much cooler." she told him glancing over at Raven as he approached, "Doesn't he?" she demanded.

Laurel glanced over the earrings, eyes drifting.

Raven laughed a little as he saw Aaron. "How the terra did you get him to put that on?" he asked, a little amazed. "I've never been able to get him to try on jewelery. Yeah, of course it looks cool on you." He put an arm around Aaron, forcing him to look at himself in a mirror.

Aaron still looked slightly unsure. "Oh, what about that one?" Raven suggested as he spotted something a little more daring. "That one looks more like you."

"It's a woman's touch." Kandy said with a sneaky grin, sticking her tongue out slightly at Raven. She glanced at the earring he pointed at and readily agreed.

Laurel was fingering a few pieces of jewelry.

Raven stuck his tongue out at Kandy back before letting her finish what she started and heading over to Laurel.

Laurel was fingering some small studs with amber stones. She glanced up as Raven walked over, "Perhaps you should get a pair of earrings yourself." she stated with a small smile.

"Hmm... maybe..." Raven mused. "Maybe we can all find a pair we like," he noted with a smile.

Laurel nodded slowly, "But who's paying?" she asked, "I don't have money for this." she admitted quietly.

Raven chuckled a little. "This purchase is on your fake boyfriend." He winked at her.

Laurel looked at him for a moment and sighed, "I'll never stop owing people." she muttered as she looked back at the earrings.

Raven blinked. "... You don't owe me anything," he tried to explain.

The pursing of Laurel's lips said she thought otherwise.
