"As much as we'll always be sleeping in each other's arms, a little more room to....move around might be nice." Vishanti whispers back with a giggle of her own, flushing slightly.
She nods as she goes over to the craftsman, "Would you happen to have any large beds for sale?"
"The table'll be five gold," the man says. "I do have a large bed and that'll be twenty gold."
She pays the man the twenty-five gold, "Thank you sir, if it isn't too much trouble could you please have the bed delivered to our house?" She gives him the directions to their house in case he didn't know where it was and explains that there are two normal sized beds that he can take, along with which room to put the bed in before she lifts up the table. Once she has the table securely in her grasp over her head she looks at Vishanti and Corda, "Well...let's get this back to the house and then I think it's time to see about some new sheets. I think we have time to make some more deliveries and do a little more shopping before we have to meet up with Gaston and Renault in the park. Is that okay?"
"I'll spare you the delivery fee since you're giving me two beds," the man says. He calls to a strapping youth who hauls a cart to the front of the store, loading Derika and Vishanti's new bed and mattress.
She smiles at the elderly man and on some strange impulse gives his cheek a kiss, "Thank you, that's very kind of you."

The man grins sheepishly. "If I knew selling furniture came with perks, I would have started sooner."
She grins, "Eh...I'm just feeling happy today. Thank you for all of your wonderful help. I'm gonna drop this table off at home and I can leave the front door unlocked for your delivery boy."
"I'm ready to go, ma'am," the youth says. "I'll just follow you."
She nods slightly as she's balancing the work table on her head at the moment while holding onto it with her hands, "Alright, let's go then." She says before leading him back to the house.
The youth follows a respectable distance behind the three women, the cart in tow.
Once they get back to the house, Derika sets the table down and gets out her keys. Unlocking the door she picks the table back up and goes inside with it. After directing him to the correct room she takes the table to Corda's new work room, "Where do you want it Corda?"
Corda looked about for a moment.

Morgor immediately ran to his corner and sat down. <Not here. This is my spot.>
The Witch couldn't help but chuckle slightly.
Closing her eyes, she let her other senses guide her. The ebb and flow of the room led her to the window. "Here. This is the perfect spot."
She nods and takes the table to set it in front of the window, "There you are." Going back to their room with the youth she says, "That's one of the beds that can go there, and the other bed is in this other room that I just set that table in."
The youth nods and proceeds to haul out the old beds. He then brings in the new bed. "Here, ma'am?"
She nods, "Yes...that will be just fine. Thank you so much for all of your help." She digs out an extra gold and hands it to him, "I know he said delivery was free, but I really appreciate the help."
"No problem, you have a blessed day," the youth says, pocketing the coin and heading back out to return the cart.
She smiles as she looks at Vishanti with a twinkle in her eye before addressing the both of them, "So...should we go out and finish the morning rounds up and do a little shopping before we meet up with Gaston and Renault?"
"That sounds perfect."Vishanti says with a radiant smile of her own. "We only have a few more places to go today, so we should definitely have time."
Looking over at Corda she asks, "So....do you want to come with us Corda, or did you have other plans?"
"Setting up the table can wait until tonight. If I'm going to be part of healing this place, I may want to get familiar with it."
She nods, "Makes sense to me. Shall we then?" She says as she goes to the door and holds it open.
With a smile Vishanti leads the way outside.
After locking the door behind them, Derika turns and goes to Vishanti. Taking Vishanti's hand she walks with them back towards the market after making a couple more stops to leave supplies with some different people. Heading into the market place she looks for someone that might be able to sell them some nice sheets for their new bed.
Derika, Vishanti, Corda and Morgor come across an elven woman operating a loom at her window. Her silver eyes never part from her project, though she brushes back some strands of her coppery hair every so often. A small sign hangs on the window reading "Please ring bell for service". A copper bell with a tiny hammer attached hangs on the right corner of the elf's window.
Derika rings her bell.
"Yes?" the elf asks, still working on her project.
Clearing her throat slightly she says, "Um yes...we just got a larger bed and are in need of some proper fitting sheets. Would you happen to have any?"
"Of course," the elf says. "Come inside and take a look. I have a variety of sheets in many different colors and patterns."
She steps away from her loom to go to the front door and opens it.
Derika goes inside and gives her a smile, "Thank you. Well honey...see anything you like?" She puts an arm around Vishanti as they look around. There were so many different colors and patterns that she felt a little overwhelmed by it. Feeling the softness of the fabric she says, "Maybe we should get two or three sets, what do you think?"
"I think so, two or three so we have other's while we change them out to be washed." Vishanti says leaning in to Derika. "Maybe a solid dark blue. Do you see anything you like, love?"
She nods, "I see a lot of pretty things, that's part of the problem. Don't you love how soft they are? I really like this dark turquoise one, the dark lavender one with pink and white flowers, and this deep burgundy one. Do you like them?" She asks Vishanti as they continue to look around.
Corda looked around at the various woven products. Not seeing what she was looking for immediately, she asked the Elf, "Excuse me, do you sell pillows?"
"All three of them are perfect, and the feel amazing." Vishanti replies running her fingers over the fabric.
"I do," the elf replies, bringing out a box of pillows of various shapes and sizes. "Five copper each."
She nods as she puts an arm around her love and gives her a little squeeze, "Then we'll take all three of them." Looking back at the elf she says, "Corda may have as many pillows as she likes. We'll cover it."
Corda proceeded to pull each pillow out one at a time to show Morgor. <Which one?>
The fox studied each carefully, shaking his head at the ones he didn't want. When she pulled out a round burgundy pillow, he jumped up and yipped. <That one, that one! Please that one!>
Having borrowed some money from the girls on the way over to the shop, the young Witch handed over the five copper. "This will do thank you. Do you also sell curtains?"
"You could ask me at once instead of one item at a time," the elf answers. "Yes, I have curtains, I have rugs and tapestries."
The elf turns to Derika. "It'll be six silver for all the bedding."
Browsing some more, Corda found both a set of sheets and some curtains she liked. "I'll take these as well please."
Nodding she takes out the silver and hands it to the elf after picking up the sheet sets that they liked, "Thank you. They're so beautiful and soft, I know that we'll really enjoy them." She says turning a dark blue after it comes out of her mouth. She was really good at sticking her foot in her mouth sometimes.
