Zacharias didn't like much that the Muggles came up with, but video games were always sort of entertaining. After losing the ridiculous bet he' had with his brother and ending up in drag, Zacharias figured he needed to step up and own some of the stuff. He'd make it work, whatever.
Originally, he'd gone out shopping with his sister-in-law who had a ton of Muggle relatives, but now he'd wandered of on his own. He was just looking at some ridiculous dance game when he thought he heard a semi-familiar laugh.
Rounding a corner, he stopped dead when he realized who it actually was. And it was absolutely hilarious. Since he was highly entertained, or just because he was a giant douchebag, when Zacharias saw that the song was ending, he broke out into a slow clap. Sometimes, real life called for such things.
By the end of the song, Mori was doubled over laughing. Thankfully, Amanda had picked a pretty easy song and every so often she hit the right key at the right time. However, she never expected anyone to actually see her. She turned around quickly, a subtle pink rising to her cheeks.
"Enjoying the show?" she asked, seeing Zacharias. .
"Absolutely," Zacharias assured her with a grin. "Got to admit, I'm kind of impressed."
Admittedly, he wasn't at all impressed by Mori's Guitar Hero skills, but he did admire how she'd play and make a fool of herself in public while laughing about it. It was an honest shock.
"I'm hoping to go pro," she said, taking the guitar off. The game was actually more fun than Mori had realized. She wouldn't mind picking it up again.
"I'm here with Kyle's stepsister." When Mori turned to point her out, Amanda had already run off. She was either too embarrassed or saw a few of her muggle friends.
"You'd rock it," he told her in his most solemn voice. As usual, the smirk basically killed the serious expression he was attempting.
Zacharias turned to look around and didn't see anyone even vaguely familiar. "Looks like you've been abandoned. Sucks. I'm usually the one doing the running off." At least he had today, leaving Hayley to shop for...well, he wasn't sure what it was but he hadn't been interested either way.
ooc: btw, we should plot for our kids or something (Basically, I'm too lazy to go comment on your Nate&Elley intro post...). IM me sometime! chrssytnasays
"Maybe she was just intimated by my talent," Mori said, shrugging. It didn't bother her much. She wasn't sure how much longer she could be dragged through the halls.
"Hell, I'm intimidated," he winked. Zacharias leaned an arm on the display to his left and shook his head. In all honesty, he actually probably wouldn't have been much better. Sure, he could muddle through things on a real guitar, but this Guitar Hero shite was harder than it looked.
Peering over his shoulder as if he could will people to show up with the power of his mind, Zacharias turned back with a shrug. "My sister-in-law. She's shopping for...I don't know what and this is about the only place that looked interesting."
The people weren't his issue. Mostly, Zacharias just didn't have the patience to shop for anything. He went in knowing what he wanted, got it, and got out. This whole wandering around for three hours and buying a t-shirt concept was a mystery to him.
"Find a corner, stand there and watch people. It's hilarious. There's usually a fight of some sort breaking out."
"That actually sounds...entertaining," Mori said, brushing her hair behind her ears.
Since Kyle Mori was doing her best to suppress her opinions that were less than pleasant. However, watching people fight and make fools of themselves seemed harmless enough.
Somehow, Zacharias managed to be a Hufflepuff back in Hogwarts and still turn into a little bit of an asshole. Whatever, sometimes you had to get amused by someone else's misery. That was only human, right?
Zacharias shoved off his perch and started toward the front windows. "Come on," he motioned just before he passed her. "Prime mocking spot."
"Just make people give it to you," he shrugged. His usual way of getting space was standing somewhere and taking it.
Zacharias led her out of the store, but not far. There was a little rounder of fake flowers in the center of the shops directly in front of the shop they had just left. He leaned back against the bricks. He waited for Mori to catch up but scanned around the crowd.
"The way to get space in this type of crowd is just to stand there like you own it. Works every time." At least, it did for him.
"I can do that," she said, smirking. Mori took her spot next to Zacharias and crossed her arms. She scanned the crowds, careful to make eye contact with anyone who got too close.
"Define a lot," he shrugged. When he was home he somehow managed to get roped into following his mother or his brother's wife around a mall and carrying bags.
Also, he was friends with Allie; there was always an element of following her around and carrying her bags involved.
Catching sight of a man about their age over by the entrance talking very animatedly with a woman, Zacharias pointed with a head nod. "I think we're about to witness a break up."
