Completed Cha-ching! [Bazaar] (Garland)

[Sayana]

In the midst of her concentration she was completely surprised by hands on her stomach and even more so when they started mercilessly tickling her. “Oooh! Hee hee hee. St-Stop it!” Sayana cried amidst laughs from the tickles. Her hips and stomach squirmed with the light touches and the pinching squeezes. She awkwardly tried to hit behind her with her low arms even though she was holding her other instruments in them. Meanwhile her mid and high arms flailed wildly leaving her armpits very much exposed, and her high elbows were getting dangerously close to striking him in the face.

She tried to turn around but the next moment he hit another sensitive spot and she squirmed and let out a shriek. Some of the people in the immediate area seemed at first concerned that it was some kind of an attack but it only took a moment to realize the light-heartedness of the act. At most they chuckled or pointed at the comedy of it all.

[Garland]

Ever the sadist, he reached up and tickled Sayana on her armpits, mostly her mid and high ones. This was good pay back for that time in the harvest festival. He made sure to stay away from her elbows and flailing arms. "Guess who?" He said, bending down low and tickling her on her stomach again. "I'm not gonna stop unless you say 'uncle' or maybe say my name, whichever works for you." He said, tickling much more ferociously. He would have gone for a raspberry if it wasn't awkward or if there weren't so many people around.

The people just gave smiles and wide eyed looks to the two strange friends. Well he wasn't sure if she considered him as a friend, but he considered her as a friend.

[Sayana]

Sayana let out another screech of renewed laughter as he went for her armpits. Her arms instinctively snapped down, but his hands were still there not stopping for a moment. By this point she had tears streaming down her face from all the laughter.

“Y-Y-You’re going to pay Garland,” she said between laughs. She had managed to turn around and now she wrapped her mid arms around him, mostly his shoulders because he was bent down, and threw all her weight at him. That sent at least her, and probably both of them tumbling to the floor unless Garland had really good balance. Hopefully the Eypharian would have landed on top, but more likely they would have twisted to land on their sides.

[Garland]

He was about to stop, but she then did something amusing and surprising, when she threw her at him, he tried balancing the two of them, as much as he could. He moved around trying to shift both of their weight, trying to balance it out, but the six arms were throwing him off. He stumbled around before both of them tumbled down to the ground.

Garland still had his arms around her waist as they fell to the ground, she landed on top of him. "Payback, Sayana~" He smiled and poked her nose as he removed his hands around her waist. "Next time I won't be so merciful. You crazy desert girl." He tried getting up but she was pinning him down on the ground. He made sure that he was above her chest, not below for obvious reasons. "Oh shyke..." He was pretty much at her mercy now.

[Sayana]

She was surprised he managed to fight and balance against her weight for so long, but they managed to tumble to the floor of the bazaar. That’s when he finally gave her mercy and took his hands from her waist. She quickly got her mid hands out from under his shoulders and tried to grab his wrists to pin them above his head – not wanting the tickling to start up again. For the next entire minute she lay flat on top of him panting, trying to regain her breath from the tickling. She used the back of her high hand to wipe away the tears of laughter that had streamed down her face earlier.

“Crazy desert girl? Crazy squire,” she responded to his comment. For a moment she rested her cheek against his chest and then she rolled off him onto her back beside him. “Now don’t you start tickling me again,” she warned and held up her mid hand protectively. She gazed at the ceiling for a moment and with a chuckle said, “We should probably get up. People might think we’ve lost our minds.”

[Garland]

He smiled and got up. "I make no promises." He offered his hand to help her up. "Trust me, people here already know I've lost my mind more than a few times." He said before whispering to himself. "Mostly in fights, and to a few girls..."

Hopefully she didn't hear that last part. She already had a lot to go with for a revenge prank. She knew she was a squire... Actually, I think that's the only thing she knows about him. "What are you doing here anyway?"

He looked over to where she was dancing a few chimes before. "Were you dancing for money? Are you that hard on Mizas? You know all you needed to do was ask and I could have loaned you some Mizas." He lowered his voice. "With an interest rate of 10% every week but that negotiable." He said quietly.

[Sayana]

Sayana took the offered hand and pulled herself up. She straightened out her skirt and dusted off her mid hands. Her left mid arm had a small scrape on it and she brushed off the bit of dirt before leaving it alone. “Lost your mind a few times?” She chuckled softly to herself. When he asked about what she was doing and if she was short on coin she immediately replied, “No, no. Not at all. I was actually here spending money.” She held up the shakers, tambourine, and little finger cymbals (which she had now taken off).

“I’ve got a job over at the Rearing Stallion,” she continued. “So far it’s gone pretty well and there’s been a traveling bard every night to play music for me to dance to. Probably because of the harvest festival or something. But I wanted to make sure I had a plan if there was no musician. I mean, I can dance to the sounds of a tavern, but it’s not the same and I don’t think the customers would enjoy it very much.”

“So what are you doing here?” She asked. “I mean, other than trying to tickle me to death. You better have not been following me this whole time.”

[Garland]

He smiled a bit. "I've been stalking you for days." He joked, laughing a bit. "Nah, I'm just taking a walk..." He gave a small smile. He really didn't have much to say, which was strange for him. He was still embarrassed around her since the kiss, he enjoyed it, but he will never admit it.

"You have a job?" He asked in moderate surprise. "Really? I find that hard to believe. You seem to be a bit more of the fun side instead of work side. I might come over one day, might watch one of your shows. I hope I get a discount." He smiled and offered his hand, hoping that they won't get lost in the crowd, then again, she's the only one with six arms, nearly naked, and insanely touchy.

[Sayana]

“Yes I do have a job,” Sayana replied matter of factly. “Usually I head over in the afternoon and dance into the night. That’s why I’m picking up things now, and practicing my zills… until you interrupted me.” She took his outstretched hand with one of her mid hands and started through the crowd. She was about to lead him past more stalls but then realized she didn’t have anywhere in particular to go or any more items she needed to pick up that morning.

Turning to look back at him she said, “You’ve probably seen this place a hundred times over. Take me somewhere new and different. You grew up in Syliras, yes? Then you probably know it inside and out. I’ve only been here say…” She paused to recall when she had arrived. “About half of summer and if you count this as half of fall. So not even a full season really. But I’ve got myself an apartment.” The last comment she said quite proudly. Even if it looked like a dingy dark thing on the inside, it was still hers, and she planned to make it gorgeous once she earned some more mizas.

[Garland]

He paused for a bit, thinking of a place to go. "There's the Suvan sea, we could go to the docks... We could go to the wishing well if you want..." He paused, thinking of the perfect place to relax. "The spa! Oh that'll be just perfect! Warn waters, steamy bath, massages, it'll be perfect." He smiled and grabbed her hand. "Where do you want to go?"

He thought of a description for each one. "Kova's wishing well is a very popular site for people that want to spend time with someone else, maybe just wish for something and hope it happens." He started walking, dragging her along as they walked. "There's the stone gardens. Sorta like a memorial for the dead that can't exactly be buried, but its... Pretty boring. We can also go to the theater, but I don't think they are showing anything right now, shame though, its really close to the bazaar." He looked at Sayana, and wondered if it was really a good idea to have suggested the bathhouse. He did want to spend time with her, maybe fix their awkward broken relationship, but was the bathhouse really the best place to go? There are separate bathing areas,for males and females, but that would mean they wouldn't have much time to talk to each other, and if they rent a private bath... Well.. It would be awkward.

"The bathhouse... Is... Well... A bathhouse... It'll be relaxing." He said simply. He was really nervous about going to the bathhouse, but it was all he could think of that he thought Sayana would like.
