He wasn’t much good with kids, but that was okay because the tigress wasn’t either. She strode back to Shanks, long legs taking long steps and feet causing little puffs of sand to go flying. ”Uh, yeah… I guess you could call me a hunter. Though it’s not exactly the normal diet for a big cat … “ Alexx tipped her head quizzically, golden hair falling over one eye. ”Big… Cat?” she questioned. She waited a half a millisecond, long enough to read whatever expression that might cross Shanks’s face before continuing, not really giving him a chance to say anything. ”You, m’dear, have a very strange way to think of yourself. Most guys prefer to think they’re some sort of wolf. However, a big cat? Fascinating. So what type of large cat do you fancy yourself? A cougar? Cheetah? Or perhaps a…” Alexx paused for half a second before lovingly breathing out the word ”Tiger?”
As they walked towards his glistening motorcycle, Alexx waited patiently for his reply. She wasn’t sure what she thought of his response. Did he know she was a shifter? Did she care if he knew? Inside her mind, Alexx laughed. If he didn’t like it, he could run crying to his mommy for whatever Alexx cared. A small part of her insisted she would miss his company, but Alexx shoved it aside. Of course she might miss Shanks for a moment, but there was always another guy. Alexx wouldn’t miss him for long. The girl rarely missed guys she dumped for long. As for the guys that dumped her? That rarely happened.
After Alexx delightedly exclaimed over his bike, Shanks commenting about not having a girly enough helmet, and then Alexx’s coy response – the tigress got to giggle at his response. “Guh!- Uhm, Yeah. I guess that’s true. I’ma pretty good driver, so we won’t crash…” he said, coughing slightly with a choking laugh while his face turned beet red again. ’Shy, cute guys are so fun.’ sighed Alexx. ”It’s gorgeous.” the blond shapeshifter commented, fingers tracing the black surface gently. ”I hope so. I take really good care of her, and it took me two years of savings from my job to buy her. I got a discount because the guy selling her was my buddy, at least.” ’Savings…?’ Alexx thought, the term sounding foreign in her mind. Being the only child of a very rich man meant she never had to save anything. She had a large allowance given to her every week, and if she needed more money, she knew where her father left extra money for her. Alexx blinked as she suddenly realized Shanks was smiling. Strange, she had never seen him do that. With a small half smile, she watched as he chuckled. The boy would have to grin more often, Alexx decided. He was so adorable when he smiled. Alexx resisted the urge to snicker. The girl was sure she could arrange for something to happen that would make Shanks smile. Yes, she means that one in the perverted sense you’re thinking in.
Alexx watched intently as Shanks pulled on black gloves with gold accents. Of course, Alexx immediately noticed that the gold on the gloves matched the warmer gold of his eyes. ’Hah, adorable and a decent ability to match his clothing.’ Alexx thought, lips turning up at the corners. ’Cute.’ By this time, the taller boy had already pulled the black helmet over his coal black hair, and he was straddling his bike, looking back at Alexx, waiting for her to get on. The slender girl moved closer, slinking one tan leg over the motorcycle and settling her rump in the padded seat. She wiggled up to Shanks, arms lacing around his chest gracefully. Her body molded into his, her body touching his in all the right places. Alexx smirked. Oh how she wished she could see his face right now. With a rather unexpected jerk, the bike pulled forward, causing Alexx’s body to snap back before she snuggled herself closer to Shanks. The tigress’s fingers splayed open across his chest, unashamedly flitting across tense stomach muscles. With another smirk, Alexx decided to stop teasing the poor boy, and eased herself back slightly, lifting her head into the wind. Her golden hair flew back, strands snapping about in the wind. Alexx threw her head back, a joyous whoop and laugh sounding out unabashedly. Alexx? A speed demon? Whatever made you think that?
The tiger shifter didn’t even wonder where he was taking her. If he was stupid enough to try and rape her, well than it would be his funeral. It was no skin off her nose if a ‘mysterious tiger mauling’ took place on a rapist. If he was going to try and seduce her – which she seriously doubted, he didn’t seem to fit that part – than Alexx was going to be amused at best. If he took her home, she might be slightly put off by the fact that she knew where she lived, but not too much. She’d be mostly peeved that he took her home. God, if he did that – Alexx rolled her eyes. ”You doing okay back there, Alexx?” Shanks’ distant voice brought her back to the current thrilling ride and wonderful wind in her hair. ”Oh GOD YES.” Alexx replied, wind greedily snatching her words away. She leaned forward, body making a more seductive contact with his again. ”Faster.”
A short – too short – of a while later, they pulled up to a mall. Alexx grinned, immediately feeling at home as she recognized an expensive store she frequented regularly. Although the service wasn’t top notch, the people there positively fawned over Alexx for the recognized her as one of their prime customers. She stopped by there at least every other day, although it was not unheard of for Alexx to appear every day either. Shanks swung his leg to kick the stand out, being careful not to hit Alexx. In the same motion, he slid off the bike, pulling his helmet off. After Alexx slipped off the bike, he set the helmet on the it, and the keys to the motorcycle mysteriously disappeared, presumably in a pocket somewhere. Shanks shook his head, hair flopping from side to side. ”Uh. I don’t think they’ll let me in looking like this. I can wait for you at the door, though? Then we can go to a different store that probably won’t mind my … Beach as much.” The boy laughed, standing in front of Alexx. The girl gave him a once over, realizing just how sandy he actually was. His hair was damp and salty, his clothes were in varying stages of wet and dry, with large clumps of wet and drying sand stuck to him. Alexx lifted an eyebrow and attempted to brush the sand off of his clothes. Instead, she got a handful of sand. With a small grimace, she realized her front side was damp and covered in sand from her ‘cuddling’ that she had done earlier.
Alexx wiped the sand from her exposed stomach and hands onto her pants, knowing that they were just – although very expensive – blue jeans. Shrugging the issue of sand away, Alexx determined that she could always buy another pair – if that is what she wanted. She returned her blue-eyed gaze to Shanks’ mussed up hair. This was something she could fix. She expertly smoothed the hair, so it was no longer haphazardly falling about – instead it looked as though he had just had his hair styled. With a satisfied smile, Alexx finally replied to Shanks. ”Nonesense. If they refuse to let you in, I’ll never shop here again. Maybe I’ll even have Daddy buy the store and bulldoze it over.” Alexx said nonchalantly, slipping her arm into his as she began to walk towards the store. ”The staff at this store know better than to cross me.” She finished, innocently smiling up at Shanks.
Alexx paused at the door, slender hand lingering over the handles. Did she really want to be seen with someone dressed like Shanks? Normally, his clothing selection wasn’t too bad, but while covered in sand and salt water? He did look pretty bad. ”On second thought, how about you wait here? I’ll grab something for you to change into.” She flashed Shanks a pearly smile before disappearing inside the brightly lit store. Inside the store, the tiger shifter was greeted warmly by a cashier. They all knew her by name, and she was known here as “Miss Dovina, Ma’am.” Of course, they were always more than eager to please – knowing that if they didn’t please Alexx, their precious little store might be bought and mysteriously disappear overnight.
Alexx went from rack to rack, carelessly tossing her hair over her shoulder. The shifter had always preferred looking at the clothing selection herself and choosing each item individually. The staff would have been more than happy to simply parade quite a few styles in front of the girl until she found something she liked, however, Alexx preferred the hunt for the clothing. Although Alexx did not know what size Shanks wore, she had an incredible knack when it came to clothes. She instinctively knew what styles would look best on whatever body type a person was, and she could also guess the exact size of the same person. Of course, she was occasionally off by a bit, but usually not too horribly bad. The girl snatched a pair of blue jeans off the rack, and examined them. This was definitely something she could see Shanks in. Turning to a sales girl who followed close behind, Alexx calmly told her what size she wanted. The girl scurried off and returned with the requested material. The tigress examined these pants as well. Definitely Shanks material.
The blond heiress repeated the process for a shirt as well, and, as an afterthought, grabbed some boxers as well. The boy might as well be totally dry. The girl then browsed for a new outfit herself. She picked out a blue jean mini skirt and a dark blue shirt that exposed her flat, tan belly. Quickly changing, Alexx left her previous outfit in the changing room. She checked her phone, which had been tucked firmly in her bra, to see that she had been gone for quite some time. ’Whoops.’ Alexx thought sheepishly. She always got so caught up when it came to shopping – even when there was a cute boy waiting for her.

Should be archived since Toki hasn't been role playing and Shanks is retired?
