Closed [The Silk Palace] - All I Wanted was to Weave!

[Winona_Heath]

"Winona, The Deaf Spirit" Winona blinked a couple times. Atree? That was her name? Of course, she had only read that wrong, the 'a' missed as Atria stood up quickly after she replied. However, that was going to be the name Winona would most definitely remember. Atree. That matched her face too. Atree looked like a nature person with her exotic blonde hair and spiraling spring green horns. Winona really did like her name. Snapping back to reality, Atria began to speak in translation. "What colors do you want for the fabrics?" Before Winona could respond, the twins came back with jubilant faces and fabrics piled high in their hands. They set this down on the desk and stood on each side of Shilo Hai, making her look like a tribal leader. Winona couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. They were all beautiful and she was tempted to just take them all and stuff them under Lorettana's bed. However, she had to restrain herself. She only had a few kinas in her pocket. Her brows furrowed as she scanned the fabrics, carefully to single out the best one. "That. That. That." Winona pointed at three of them. Shilo merely glanced at the assistants, causing them to scramble and pick out the fabrics that Winona was interested in, handing them to the shop keeper. Shilo held up a hand for the assistants to return the other fabrics that Winona did not pick and the twins quickly cleared the desk. They hurried into the back room once more, struggling as to not drop the beautiful material in their haste. The first one was rough but the design reminded her of her tribe back home with stripes going zig-zag across the fabric. The second one was soft and velvety with a single dusty rose color. Looking at it made Winona blush. It was a cutesy little love color. The third one was all sorts of colors jumbled into one. Almost like a rainbow that was painted on Lorettana's dusty old scrolls. She never seen a rainbow before, and this was probably the only thing that would come close to it. Winona took this moment to feel each one, glancing a peek at Atria a few times as she did. What would Lorettana tell Winona to do at this moment... Right! Ask for the prices... But she wanted Atria's opinion first. She wanted to pick the one Atria thought was prettiest. At the moment, Winona had lots of money... It just wasn't all with her at the moment. Most of it was at home. She hasn't spent a single miza and she planned to buy something anyway. She might as well pick the best quality. Instead of asking for the prices, she turned her head to Atria with a raised eyebrow. "Which one you like, Atree?" She asked with the upmost confidence that Atria pick the best one. OOCIt's okay, I'm pretty slow too sometimes. I think you responded quicker than most people do on here though, hehe.

[Atria]

Atria rolled her eyes at the girls, treating her like a tribal leader. She looked at the fabrics Winona chose, examine them. One was a zigzag, one that just.. seemed right with Winona for some reason. Rough. The second one was a soft pink, which seemed okay. The last was a random fabric, filled with multiple fabrics. She looked at them thoughtfully, when Winona asked, "Which one do you like, Atree?" She glared at Winona, then just sighed, a hint of something in her tone, like patience and annoyance mixed, not bothering to correct her yet.

She felt each, trying to make a decision. Really, she didn't know, so she went for the striped one, that she felt described her, but she didn't know how. "This one." She said, as she tapped it. "I don't know, though. I'm not that qualified for weaving. Also, d'you have enough money?" She felt the fabric in between her fingers once more, then letting it rest on the table. "How much does this cost?" Shilo tilted her head, thinking.
(OOC: I dunno what fabric it is, soz..)

"Winona, The Deaf Spirit" Winona could almost feel the annoyance in Atria's gaze when she spoke. However, it simply slipped away. What was she thinking about? Winona observed her features as Atria felt the material, unsure of what to choose. She pointed to the zigzagged one and hesitantly averted her gaze back to Winona. "I don't know, though. I'm not qualified for weaving. Also," The word after came as a blurb. She didn't know that she basically said, 'do you' together. However, she kept reading her lips. "have enough money?" Winona dug in her pockets, feeling the coins and counting in her head. She had about thirteen kina with her. The rest was at home hidden in Lorettana's mattress. She nodded to Atria. "Yes. Yes, I think." Suddenly she noticed the shopkeeper's movement in the corner of her eye. Shilo nodded her head once the price came to mind. "This one," She pointed to the zigzagged one. "Is linen fabric. It's 5 kina per yard. And this one," She pointed to the pink one. "Is velvet. It's 50 kina per yard. And the last one," She points to the rainbow one. "Is chiffon. It's 30 kina per yard." The shop owner almost seemed a bit disappointed when Atria picked the cheapest one out of luck but she kept her friendly, happy composure. "I assume that means you would like to buy the linen?" The woman tilts her head, holding the sample fabric in her hand. She snaps her fingers for the girls to get the material for Winona before she could even decide if it was the one she definitely wanted. However, the good thing was that Winona could still get the fabric that Atria liked. The other ones were too expensive anyway. She smiled at Atria once more, but it started to fade. Once Winona would buy what she wanted, Atria would leave! For a moment, Winona sat there, staring at the sample in Shilo's hand. Perhaps... Perhaps Winona would stalk Atria. No, not stalk. Just follow. Yea, she wasn't a stalker. Just a follower. OOCI figured it out! There's a mini price list in the Silk Palace Link. Don't worry, I got your back.
