[Zhongjie Warrens] A Bazaar Meeting (Rosela)

[Elem Bree]

As Elem was simultaneously being marked at with charcoal and learning how even to wear leather armor, his mind was awash with all of the luxuries of Riverfall. The bazaar was probably something common to the people who lived here. It certainly seemed common to the Eypharian. He wondered what kind of frowny faces the general store in Zeltiva would get from them. It brought a smirk to his face. Maybe it was better to be from humble beginnings and be knocked over by all of this. It seemed Rosela was having much too little fun here. Her loss, really.

Once the measurements were finished and monies exchanged, Elem was in the process of removing the armor when he felt two mizas being pressed into his palm. Maybe he had misjudged the strange woman in the first place, thinking her greedy. He felt a little bad for it, but it certainly didn't keep him from returning the mizas to their kin. The peck on his cheek was odd, but he was sort of dine trying to understand the woman. He was still confused with the arms, after all. "Next time, right. Well, I hope you enjoy your stay here, Rosela. You certainly gave me a primer in fashion and culture." His eyes were already peering at shoes, but he really didn't think it was the time to cluck at workmanship. It would be something he would do another day.

Alone.

Quickly.

Not so much pomp.

[Rosela]

Elem seemed doubtful that they’d meet again, giving his words the same dullness as hers when she had found out about his Society thing. ”Any time, honey. Riverfall’s a small place. I’m sure we’ll meet again soon.” She wrinkled her nose as she grinned at him, almost reluctant to leave. She normally spent much longer than this doing her shopping, but it seemed he was itching to be off. Granted, most of her time was spent bargain hunting, which he clearly didn’t need.

Sighing dramatically, she turned on heel and walked slowly towards the exit. ”Okay, I suppose I’d better head home then… You just let me know if you need any help next time? I’m sure I’ll be around.” Giving him one last wave over her shoulder, she passed out of the tent and was gone.

She fingered the torc on the way home, once again battling with herself over whether she should have taken the extra mizas. No new arguments presented themselves, just the same ones running around and around. There was no sense at all in dwelling on it, but she knew she would anyway. In any case, she’d be looking him up again sometime, whether he liked it or not.
