Jin then heads over to the section that could probably fit girls her size. Being so petite and scrawny she could fit into smaller clothing and even smalls in adult sizes seemed a little big on her. Going over to the "Young Miss" area she finds a warm weather outfit of cream bottoms and a pretty dark lavender top with a light blue sash to go around the waist. Taking her choice back to Asha she asks, "What do you think of this combination for me?"
"I think it looks very pretty," Asha replies.
Laenid goes ahead and changes, coming back out with new outfit on. "Well, what do you think, Jin?"

Looking around at all the different styles and colors of clothing, it seemed that Ms. Asha had just about every kind of item in every color you could imagine. Going over to a rack she picks out a pair of tan breeches with a thick long sleeve deep burgundy top for a new adventuring outfit, a thick lined black hooded cloak, for a just around the house outfit she decided to go with a long sleeve dress of a softer hue of burgundy, and a deep rose colored sleep set. Looking over at her love as she looks through clothes she smiles. She picks out a cream colored bra and panties set, and making sure that Vishanti isn't looking picks up a black lace nightie and hides it underneath her other clothing choices. That would be something fun for their more.....intimate moments together. Taking her new clothes with her up front to join the others she goes to Luth as well, "And I have me, Vishanti, and Eldan covered for this." She says with a smile and wink at her love.

Looking over at Laenid her eyes nearly pop out of her head. The colors looked really good on her and the outfit looked very....flattering on her body.....her frame, she quickly corrects herself. Taking a moment to take it all in she says with a smile, "I think it looks very nice on you. How does it feel?"
"It's soft and nice," Laenid says. "I like it."
She nods, "Good, then we'll get it. Now go see what color of warm fuzzy sleep set you want." Going over to her she runs her hand softly against the material of the sleeve of the top and smiles while looking up at Laenid, "Yeah...it really is soft. I bet it's nice and warm too." Looking over at Hitome she says, "Go ahead and pick out something for you too....unless you're okay in that. I wasn't sure if it was just cold weather you didn't have a problem with or if you are impervious to all types of climates."
Going back over to Vishanti she wraps an arm around her and gives her a little squeeze, "Find anything you like yet love?"
Gashka goes over to the where the underthings are and picks out a light colored set as well. It never hurt to have a spare. Going back over to Anyka she kind of bumps her softly with her elbow, "Hey Sis...have you found anything yet? I think we're just waiting on a few of us to finish up and then I think we still have more places to go."
Laenid finds a pearl-white sleep set. "What do you think of this? Or is it too white for my skin tone?"
She scrunches up her nose, "That's a little light for you." Looking over the sleep sets she picks out a deep green, "What about this one?"
Laenid cocks her head to the side. "Uhh...I'll try it, but I don't really like green."
She puts it back down, "No no....you shouldn't if you don't like it. I was just guessing.....ummm....ummmm....here, what about this dark turquoise color? Do you like it?" She says trying to find her something she'll like better.
She nods, "Good, then we'll get it. Now go see what color of warm fuzzy sleep set you want." Going over to her she runs her hand softly against the material of the sleeve of the top and smiles while looking up at Laenid, "Yeah...it really is soft. I bet it's nice and warm too." Looking over at Hitome she says, "Go ahead and pick out something for you too....unless you're okay in that. I wasn't sure if it was just cold weather you didn't have a problem with or if you are impervious to all types of climates."
"Heat can still bother me, though cold doesn't really affect me." Hitome replies, heading over to the racks. She glances over at the interaction between Jin and Laenid, a tiny smile curling the corner of her mouth at seeing her Summoner so enthusiastically attentive. She was definitely coming out of her shell.
Looking through the clothing, the aasimar selects a black halter, and a pair of loose fitting pants that allow her the freedom to move and fight, along with another similar top in burgandy, and a split skirt appropriate for travelling. Accustomed to sleeping in a simple shift, and not much affected by the cold, she selects a few light night shirts as well.
Derika looks through the racks, but isn't sure what colors go well with her skin tone.
Looking around at all the different styles and colors of clothing, it seemed that Ms. Asha had just about every kind of item in every color you could imagine. Going over to a rack she picks out a pair of tan breeches with a thick long sleeve deep burgundy top for a new adventuring outfit, a thick lined black hooded cloak, for a just around the house outfit she decided to go with a long sleeve dress of a softer hue of burgundy, and a deep rose colored sleep set.

Going back over to Vishanti she wraps an arm around her and gives her a little squeeze, "Find anything you like yet love?"
Searching through the racks of clothing, Vishanti selects a dress of dark brown leather suitable for travel, and including a few pouches and pockets (traveller's outfit), and a deep red cloak, lined in soft white fur. For simple use she chooses a flowing dress of midnight blue, and a matching set of underthings in black.
"I believe this would work, what do you think of these on me love? Anything you'd like to see me in?" she asks with a grin, gazing into her lover's eyes.

Stretching up a bit she touches her forehead to Vishanti's while grinning as well, "I think you make everything look stunning. As far as what I'd like to see you in...." She leans into her ear to say in a breathy whisper, "Nothing....in our bed." Reaching around her with a hand she gives her rear a good firm squeeze while smiling at her impishly.
Gashka nudges Anyka lightly again and indicates the sickeningly sweet couple, "We might have to hose them down soon ifc they don't cool it with that stuff."
"Heh, I know right?" Anyka says with a soft chuckle. She'd grabbed a pair of black leather breeches and a red blouse, topping it off with a fitted black jacket over it,as well as a functional black explorer's outfit to go with her armor. Grabbing under wear from the rack somewhat at random she adds it to her pile.
Vishanti's face flushes slightly, and she momentarily bites her lip, enjoying the feel of Derika's hand on her backside. Her face flushes a bit deeper when she catches the sisters noticing, but just grins wider, returning the imishness of Derika's grin with one of her own. "I'll have to see what I can do about making that happen later." she whispers back
She nods and tries to restrain herself, knowing that they were in a public place. Giving Vishanti's bottom a little pat before taking her hand away to wrap her arms around her the best she can while holding stuff she says, "Yes.....yes we will."
Gashka just shakes her head, her sister really didn't have anyone growing up to teach her manners it seemed. She sighed and supposed it would be up to her to train her in what she was lacking. Laying her purchases on the counter she gives Anyka a familiar look, "I'll be right back."
Walking over to her sister she gently takes her by the arm and pulls her aside before speaking in a quiet voice, "Listen....I know you had a rough time growing up and that you didn't have thed up bringing that I had. It seems like all their energy was spent teaching you how tho fight, and no one bothered tho teach you little things like manners or proper behavior in public, so those things I guess fall on me even though we're older now." With a serious yet understanding look in her eyes she says, "We all know how much you love Vishanti okay? Your feelings for each other very obvious....however, while we are in public you will behave yourself. Holding hands and kisses on the cheek maybe are acceptable signs of affection in public. Grabbing someone anywhere on their person, or patting their bottom...is not. Please remember that we are new here and don't want to make any bad impressions since we are going to be working for Sir Barclay and basically representatives of this town. Furthermore my dear sister, if you do anything to bring us shame or that embarrasses me, I don't care how old you are....I will wear out your behind until you can't sit for a week. Are we clear? I know this may seem harsh, but know that if I didn't care I wouldn't bother saying anything at all. Now, get back to Vishanti and behave yourself."
She didn't think she had done anything that bad to be scolded for. She had a hard time not expressing her feelings for the woman she loved, and she knew they were in public...but it had been so long since they had special time alone. Feeling a little indignant at being treated like a naughty child she gets a stubborn look on her face as she crosses her arms. About to give her a smartass reply, she thinks better of it. She tries to put herself in Gashka's shoes instead. They had something very traumatizing happen to all of them when they were very young. They had lost friends and been powerless to stop it. It seemed that from the way she handled herself and the way she spoke to her that Gashka had a very strict upbringing. Gashka and her two friends were torn away from everyone they knew and loved, and dropped in a strange place and to thop it all off, Gashka had found out that the people she was supposed to be able to trust the most had lied to her her whole life and now she suddenly found herself having a little sister.
She really didn't like being talked to that way, but she could see that Gashka was just trying to be a good big sister in her own threatening violence against her person way. Besides, she didn't want to push her luck by mouthing off to her to see if shed would make good on her promise of wearing out her backside.
Sighing she drops her arms and nods, "Yes ma'am....I'm sorry if I acted inappropriately. I'll try not to let it happen again." Almost on instinct she steps up to Gashka a puts her arms around her. She didn't know why, but she felt shed just needed a hug, "I'm so sorry for everything you've been through. I don't mean to upset you or cause you worry, and I would never knowingly do anything to disgrace us or embarrass you. I understand this is all new tuo you and you are doing thed best you can but....while I'm your little sister, I'm not a child so please don't speak to me like one. If I'm doing something wrong, just tell me. I probably don't know how to act in a lot of situations because you're right and all they cared about was showing me how to inflict pain and death on those they considered their enemy. I never had anyone that actually cared about me or loved me enough to teach me anything else." She says quietly as she holds her sister in a hug. Giving her a little squeeze she finally lets go of her, "Thank you for being my sister and loving me despite how difficult this is for you, and loving me enough to correct me when I'm doing something I shouldn't be. I love you Gashka, I'll try to do better."
Everything from her reaction, words, and hug caught Gashka off guard. She was going through something really difficult, but Derika was her little sister and needed guidance since it was apparent she never had any. She did love her and felt a little of the hole inside of her close up. Finding Derika meant that she didn't lose all of her family, and that meant a lot to her. Surprised to find herself feeling so emotional during Derika's reaction to her scolding she just wraps her arms around her and holds on as she expresses her own feelings. She didn't mean to make her feel like a child, but her own childhood was very strict and she wasn't very good at communication of things sometimes. When Derika lets go of her she can see tears in Gashka's eyes.
This time she steps up to Derika and wraps her arms around her, "I love you too kiddo. I'm sorry if I talk to you like a child sometimes. I don't mean to make you feel that way. I'll try to remember that you're my younger sister, not my baby sister. Okay?" She just holds her for a couple of minutes and tries to process everything. She finally let's go and wipes the tears off of her face, "Okay, let's go pay for our stuff and get going okay?"
She nods and wipes her own eyes, happy that Gashka is finally warming up to her and allowing herself to open up a little around her. She nods as she goes back to Vishanti, "Okay, I think we have everything now and are ready to go. You guys go ahead and get your stuff, we'll be right behind you."
Gashka has Anyka and Chris bring their things up to the counter so she can pay for everything. Giving the owner a bit of a smile she asks, "Okay, we're ready now. So what do I owe you for all these fine things?
Asha smiles back at Gashka. "That'll be fifteen gold all in all."
"You sure you don't need me to chip in, Gashka?"
She waves a hand, "Nah...I got this. There is still other things we will need so you can chip in later on the other stuff, but thanks for offering." She replies while counting out the fifteen gold and handing it to Asha, "There you go. Thank you, and hope you have a nice day." She says before bagging up her stuff andc heading outside to wait for the others.
After Gashka and the others go outside, she then approaches the counter with their purchases, "Guess that means it's our turn now. So, what do we owe you Ms. Asha?" She asks, while pulling out her money pouch.
"Oh, that's a nice color," Laenid says. "It looks to be the same size as the outfit you picked out, so I'll just go ahead and get these. Maybe I need some underthings as well..."
Asha looks over Derika, Vishanti and Eldan's things. "Ten gold, please."

Jin nods and leans into her slightly, "Get whatever you need to get. I didn't have a lot of friends back home and I only left on missions, so I never really spent any of my money except for when Gyo or I needed something. Then when we got here I had Mr. Michael make some items for me to help with my defense since I'm pretty puny...." She blushes, "Long story short, just get whatever you need and don't worry about it...really." She says with a smile.
Derika counts out the gold and gives it to Ms. Asha, "Thank you, I'm sure we'll be seeing you around. Have a good day." She says with a smile and a nod before heading outside to the others, "Okay, now I guess we go to that general store to get the rest of the things for the house that we need, like dishes, towels, toiletries, sheets....you know, all that living type stuff."
"It feels like I'm imposing on you though," Laenid says. "If there's ever anything I can do for you to make up for this, let me know. However, be forewarned that I can't cook, can't sew and can't do laundry. But I can dust and clean."
She just shrugs, "I don't do things because I expect something in return. I do them because I want to...and because I can. I don't know how to do many of those things either, but I wanted to learn how to cook at least. We'll go to the market later and get some stuff to make lunch with. Maybe I can try to make some soup and sandwiches. How hard could it be to put some meat and vegetables in a pot. Would you like to come over for my lunch experiment once we're done with the shopping?" She asks as she goes with her to where the underthings are. Ms. Asha really did have an amazing supply of clothing and under garments.
Luth nods and heads to Halfpocket's shop. "Halfpocket the halfling runs our general store here. He's a pretty nice fellow."
Rajni sees a group of six people walk into the store as she and Halfpocket finish straightening up.
"Do you want to help these people and ring them up as well?" Halfpocket asks Rajni. "I'll walk you through it."
He then looks up at Luth and his entourage. "Welcome to Halfpocket's."
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Sure," Laenid answers, picking out the ugliest looking underthings possible.
Her eyes get a little large at the sight of the group that walks in. Nodding to Halfpocket she gets down off the ladder she was using to straighten and clean up the shelves and approaches the group. Giving them a smile she asks, "How may I help you today. Were you needing something in particular or do you just need a few minutes to look around. We have a wide variety of supplies for all different needs." She says, looking over at halfpocket to see if she was doing alright.

She shakes her head and takes the thing from Laenid and tosses it back in the bin, "Oh I think not. You can do better than that." She says with a laugh as she looks through the things in the bin while glancing occasionally at Laenid. After some searching she pulls out a set of soft pink panties and a bra made out of a soft satiny material. "What do you think of these?"
Stepping forward she says, "Maybe it'll be easier if we just look around? We just got here today and have a house, but nothing in it except for some furniture....so we need pretty much everything. Dishes, cutlery, towels, wash cloths, cooking ware, sheets, pillow cases, pillows, toiletries....just about everything you can think of. Plus we will probably be needing a bag of holding....at least type two maybe? I'm not sure how much they cost though."
Stepping up to Gashka she says, "Look, we're all going down into the mines together to deal with the spiders and whatever else is down there, so if the group needs a bag or whatever...we'll all pitch in. I'm sure we can work it out."
She nods, "Of course, no problem. I'll go look into the bag for you while you have a look around then." She says before going to Halfpocket, "We have those right?"
Gashka takes a basket and starts shopping for what they would need. She picks up about twenty day supply of rations, 8 sets of towels and washcloths in various colors, some simple looking dishes, and two sets of four cups for the kitchen. She then goes to the bedding section and picks out some nice soft pillows for her Anyka, and Chris, along with a set of sheets for the two twin beds. One in a dark blue, and the other in a wine red color. She also picks up a few pillowcases for their pillows. A green one for Chris, and then pillow cases to match the sheets for the twin beds. Going to the bath stuff she picks out some nice smelling soap for herself.
Halfpocket nods. "In the back."
"No one's going to see them on me," Laenid says. "Who cares if they're ugly?"
Derika likewise picks up a basket and goes to the bedding to pick out some pillows for her, Vishanti, and Eldan. She then picks out queen size sheets for their new bed in a deep purple color with pillowcases to match and gets Eldan a dark red pillowcase. She also picks up extra blankets for all the beds, and two extra blankets for the guys since they would be sleeping on couches. Finally she goes to the toiletries and picks out some chamomile and lavender soap for her and Vishanti. Going back to where the cooking supplies as she didn't see Gashka go there, she picks out some pots and pans, and some utensils to cook with. Going back up front she says, "I think we got everything we need for the house, but if anyone needs more personal items then go ahead and get them now."
Eldan picks up an extra bedroll for padding, soap, a toothbrush and some tooth powder. "Hmm, I might need a bag of holding, the type one kind, for my stuff."
