Cyna smiles. "I'll get the same." She quickly assembles the bouquet then turns to Gwen and her sister. "What do you think?" she asks.
Gwen nods in approval. "Those are pretty."
After shaking the Baron's hand Arista goes to Alethiro and gives his cheek a kiss, "We'll be back in a moment sweetheart." She says as she follows Gia to the bathroom. After she and Celine are done and have washed and dried their hands she returns to the sitting room, "Alright, ready to go love. I think I know what to get for Cyna and Sienna but we need to head over to the Artisan district." Turning to the Baron she gives him a slight bow, "Thank you again for everything, I'll be back before we leave for home." She then turns and takes Alethiro's hand in her other one, "Ready to go love?"
"Yes, dear," Alethiro replies.
She shakes her head and laughs a little as they leave the Baron's estate, "Oh you stop that. I just had an idea hit me. We'll need to find someone that can do what I need in a few hours though." She says as they look for the right place.
"Oh, what do you have in mind? Or are you just going to make it a surprise for us all?"
She giggles,
Alethiro nods. "Sounds perfect."
"How can I help you?" a ruddy elven man asks Arista as she walks into his shop.

9th of Harvest 251
Today is the first
day of our forever.
With a heart design underneath it. Can you do that? Oh...there's just one more thing, I'd need it in a few hours before we leave for home. I can pay extra for the rush if it's an inconvenience for you." She says, hoping that he can help her.
She gets a big smile on her face, "Oh thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Would you happen to know where I could go to find Cleric Vestments of Sarenrae? It's just that the ones I had were...well, they were really old and falling apart and I need some for officiating their wedding. Well..I just really need a new set of Vestments. So...could you tell me where I might find some?"
As they leave Ard's house she looks at Rhy while holding her hand and smiles, "Should we go talk to the girls, or try and find a gift for them on our own?" She asks before getting to the place where they grow and sell all the flowers and plants.
"I agree, they're so wonderful." Fae says looking over the flowers.
Ylrhea returns to Sadhana and Celia. "I'm guessing they're in Jericho's place."
"Then I guess that's where we're heading," Sadhana says, leading the way through the door to Jericho's
"Hmmm....I wonder what they would like that nobody else has already thought of?" Rhadaya replies. [b]"We could try on our own if we can come up with a few ideas.
She thinks for a minute, "Well....Arista seems more the type to have fancy dinner parties....but they have a large family with them now. Maybe a dinner ware set and some cutlery? It's either that or some nice thick towels and wash clothes with some nice bath stuff. What do you think?"
"I suppose we'll go pay for these then and try to find the others," Sienna says, heading to one of the druids nearby.
Sadhana sees the Anizari family and Magestreia sitting at one table, while Mirrin sits alone at another.

"Honestly, I'd suggest checking one of the temples," the elf answers. "I do not know of a clothing store that would sell a cleric's vestments."
She nods, "Alright, than that is what I'll do. I'll pay you for that when we come back if that's okay? I still need to find some things to keep Celine occupied at home until we can get the schools built as well. Thank you so much for all your help."
The elf nods and begins working on Arista's order.
Arista goes with Alethiro and Celine to find one of the larger Temples. Going inside she looks for someone that might be in charge.
"Who should we talk to first?"
Arista recognizes the high priestess, Morrigan.
Seeing Morrigan she waits until she isn't busy to approach, "Good evening Morrigan, I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time?"
"Yes?" the high priestess responds.
"I was wondering if you knew of a way that I might buy a set of Clerics Vestments of Sarenrae? Mine were pretty old and worn out and I'm performing a wedding ceremony tomorrow and I'd really like a new set of Vestments." She asks, looking hopeful.
As they're walking along trying to decide what to do for the girls she sees someone selling puppies. Getting a huge grin on her face she looks at Rhy almost pleadingly, "Oh Rhy....I just had the most marvelous thought. Why don't we get them a puppy? It could be like a "family gift" for their wedding. We could get them the food for it and everything. What do you think?" Her voice has a sort of happy little girl sound to it. Like as if she just saw a unicorn or something.
"We carry vestments for most of the faiths here," Morrigan answers. "Mind you, they are a bit simple but they are in Sarenrae's colors."
She nods, "Oh that would be fine. Mine were so old, tattered and stained....they just...well, they weren't suited for much of anything really. I'll take whatever you have."
"We'll see to the family first.If they're ready to go today they have a bit of time to get ready, and we can meet with Mirrin in the meanwhile." Sadhana replies after a moment of thought.
Ceila nods, looking over at the family who'd lost their entire sisterhood with compassion.
"Now that would be an amazing gift!" Rhadaya replies, excitedly.
Ylrhea nods and follows Sadhana to the table where the family sits.
Magestreia looks up and smiles at the group. "Good morning."
Morrigan leads Arista to a small shop inside the temple and shows her a cassock of blue and gold, a shimmery blue surplice and a gold stole embroidered with dozens of white stars. "I hope this will suffice."
"Now that would be an amazing gift!" Rhadaya replies, excitedly.
She nods excitedly as they head over to the person selling the puppies, "Oh Rhy, they're all so cute. Look at that little one over there, he's adorable. I think that's the one we should get for them. These dogs are really smart and very loyal and protective. I think he would make a wonderful addition to their family." Looking over at the one that seems to be in charge she asks, "How much would you like for that pup over there?" She asks, as she indicates the one she had been looking at.
Arista reverently touches the material, her own vestments paled in comparison to this. Her vestments had been hand made though by a woman in their village and the colors were duller than these. Her mist up momentarily at the memory of it before she nods her head while taking her hand back from the material, "These are beautiful and will meet my needs perfectly. Is there any way that I can purchase two sets so that I have a back up for when one needs cleaning?" She asks while pulling out their money pouch.

The past couple days were especially enlightening. When Yulia had left for the Cafe, and after he'd done his part of the house keeping, the Dhampir headed out a short distance from town to practice with his new abilities. The difficult part was reigning some of his more unstable emotions, but he managed learn how to do so.
When Yulia woke up groggier than usual, he decided to forgo his practice and help take care of her. Starting with going out for special breakfast ingredients before she woke up. He did leave a note indicating he'd be back soon.
Upon his return, he noted the door wasn't locked, indicating it had been open since he left. Stepping inside, he called out, "Yulia, are you awake?"
Ammon seemed completely unshaken by his near death. After returning to the Common House, he'd settled back into his routine. Not even the fallen snow stopped him from his exercise routine. But there was something weighing on his mind. With his sacred task completed, he believed it was time to move on, or more accurately, go back to partner Cassym. He'd been away too long.
A paladin approaches Ammon. "What troubles you? I've watched you practice before but your swings are half-hearted today."
"Yes, love," Yulia groans, coming into the living room.
Morrigan brings out a wrapped package. "Here's a spare. That'll be ten gold for both."
She smiles as she takes out two platinum pieces and hands them to the high priestess, "Here, take the extra as a gift for the temple. They're just wonderful...could we put both of them in a bag before I put them in my bag? I don't want the girls to see them until the wedding tomorrow." She asks as she takes the vestments off of their hangers and starts to reverently fold them.
Morrigan brings over a brown bag for Arista to place the garments in before pocketing the two coins.
Turning about, he answered, "I believe it may be time for me to leave. My sacred duty has been fulfilled, but I have been away too long."
"Did someone come to visit? The door was unlocked."

"Oh?" the paladin asks. "Well, if you are certain, then I'm sure you can talk a captain into taking you where you want to go. Save Talathel, Brannum and Icathia, of course. The news from those waters in not good these days, I'm afraid."
