“It’d take a lot more than Loki’s hand-me-downs to make you look less than stunning, Bast,” Shadow said with a little grin. “But if you want I could take you shopping sometime.”

Wait, what? Generally that was not a good thing for a man to volunteer for. Of course, Shadow had gone clothes shopping with Laura upon occasion and those hadn’t been bad experiences, but usually she’d prefer to go with her girlfriends and to model her purchases for him that night.

Still, he looked at Bast hopefully, waiting for her answer. He realized that he wanted to do something nice for her.
