"Look at this!" Elaris exclaimed, holding something up with both hands. I leaned over and saw that it was a set of elastic white strings.
They glimmered slightly in the shop's fluorescent light, stretching in his hands as if they had a life of their own.
I reached out and carefully lifted them from his grasp, feeling the soft tension of the material.
The texture was thin, smooth, and slightly slippery, but it felt surprisingly strong.
Holding the swimsuit that Elaris had given me, I became silent for a moment.
"It's really good, want to go back to the changing room and try it?" I said, while holding the white bikini in my hands.
Elaris smiled and nodded at me, and we both made our way back to the shop owner.
Elaris, as polite as always, asked for her permission first.
"Go ahead and change in the back,"
Elaris nodded at her and we both disappeared behind the small curtain that marked the changing area.
I sat on a nearby chair, and kept staring at him while he changed.
