Need to talk privately with Cilan? Send him a message via the crystal or carrier pigeon? Want to meet with him without posting a log for it? Here's the place to do it!
[ People expect emotional effects to be flowers and rain storms. Do the Shaarnathian get forecasts of odd green-haired guys making sparkles and love hearts? And it's such a usual thing to Red, it doesn't cross his mind how odd it might look with the pair of them walking together to reach the first stall that catches their eye. ]
Isn't it more like a pair of double doors flinging open? Wide open! [ Heheh! ] Everyone cooks in Shaarnath! Just think of all the recipes their friends will be willing to share when they come over! I think you've made a new friend for life with the client too.
Indeed! I'd like to speak with them more again once I've had a chance to try that recipe they gave me...
[And then he suddenly pauses in his train of thought as he takes interest in a nearby store that has some hair and clothing accessories on display in the window. Forgive our attention span here Red, but--]
Oh, take a look at these! They've got a unique flavor in comparison to what they have on the island, don't you agree?
[ In they go, Red a willing victim and laughing as they enter through. What poor shop owner just had these pair come into their store?
Red might not be a fashionista, but he eyes the store upon their entrance, at the mix of his and hers, the selections available on the racks with some interest. It was all the more interesting for not being Verens. ]
What first? The clothes? [ Aha ] You've got the expert eye in that department.
Indeed: it's time to taste and compare the fashion of this city in comparison to Verens!
[So I hope you like listening to Cilan picking random things out and having comments on whether or not this shirt or that pair of pants is "tasteful" or not, before he finally asks--]
What do you think, Red? [What's your opinion on these clothes?]
[ Cilan when we say you have the expert eye here we mean it, because even after all the comments... ]
I think... [ Just going to idly push some of the clothes apart... ] ...they're too different from what I'm used to for me to know what I think. [ Eh...heh. ] They remind me of some of the costumes I saw at the masquerade, and, uh...
Well, I'm not sure about these pants, but I do like this shirt here... I could certainly see myself wearing them, if there was a good occasion for it...
[And pants that look good with it, so we might need to look through these some more.]
What about...the occasion being the experience itself? Dressing up in something new, in a city you haven't been to in a long time. You can blend yourself in with the locals!
[ He's distracted from the side he's looking through, a thought coming to him--but a pair of pants catches his eye, and he pulls them out. ]
How about these? [ ... ] And you know, maybe you could leave your hair how it is before you tidy it. You [ uh ] you look like a whole different you in the mornings when it's like that.
... Really? [Cilan reaches a hand up towards his head, playing with a loose strand for a second, considering.] My hair in the morning can be rather unruly though... are you sure that it would look alright if left as is?
Huh... well then, I suppose I'll have to try this flavor sometime and see how it tastes.
[But then his attention ends up being sucked into hair accessories, looking them over. These are kind of pretty... he holds one up to the light for a moment, appraising it before turning to Red.]
Hey Red, do you think Sonia would like it if I brought back something like this for her?
[ The subject and clothes are pushed aside and forgotten so easily that it's strange how dazed the question makes Red, blinking, the strange emotion in him draining away so quickly that it's uncomfortable. ]
Uh... if it's from you, I think she'd appreciate anything. [ He'll just...put away the trousers he was holding, now with that an old subject. His eyes search the table, and -- there's one there, one that makes him think of the princess. But something keeps him where he is than inspecting it closer, and keeps himself from pointing it out.
Instead, he looks back at Cilan. ] Are you going to buy it? It's the first shop we've been in.
[ Said in a very 'aren't you rushing a purchase here' way. ]
[ Friends. The word catches in his ears, and with it, he doesn't know why he feels-- guilty, all of the sudden. --No, but of course he does. He shouldn't discourage Cilan, should he? ]
You know her better. Why...don't you take another look at them? See what you think. [ He begins moving, walking away. ] I'm going to ask the store owner if they know where a fabric shop is.
[ Yes uh he'll do that now, don't mind him. Yes he's totally going to listen about the latest fashions... ]

I didn't know you were into this kind of thing. [ But hey, if he's interested- ] Did you wanna take a look inside? Maybe they sell fabric too.
[ Since he took on some jobs to bring back samples for the extra cash! ]
no subject
[In fact he might already be reaching out to grab your arm and pull you along inside with him.]
Come on, it's shopping time~!

Yeah! I dunno if the weather here will do anything with it, but when you wash it the night before and you haven't worked on it, it's... it suits you.
[ A light shrug, and he looks away. ] I think so.
we're so sorry for this tag red
