Chris pulls Gashka in for a tender kiss. "I know. We better get this shopping done so your father isn't waiting on us."

Blushing a bit she nods, "Yeah...okay. Stuff...that's what we need. Oh look, here's Halfpocket's store. He has just about everything as I recall. Let's go in here."

"Sure," Chris responds, opening the door for Gashka.

Gashka smiles and goes inside.

The halfling smiles as Chris and Gashka enter, walking away from a customer to approach them. "Good day. Looking for something in particular?"

Gashka nods, "Yes please, we were looking for items to make a house our home. Papa is taking care of most of the furniture, but we need flatware, dishes, towels, linens, you know....all that kind of stuff. Can you help us find what we need?" Gashka asks, the happiness practically radiating from her.

"Of course," Halfpocket says, leading the couple to where the dinnerware is. "The bath and bedding is just across the room."

"Thank you," Chris says.

Gashka nods, "Yes, thank you."

Looking over at Chris she smiles, "So, I'm not real particular when it comes to this kind of stuff, so is there anything in particular you like? I'm fine with this simple wooden set...I mean, unless there's something else that you'd rather have." Things held very little importance to Gashka. She had always had simple taste, and was more concerned with function over form.....but if Chris felt differently, then that was okay too.

"As long as we don't let them sit for too long, the wooden set will be just fine," Chris says. "Do you want a tablecloth?"

Gashka nods, "Sure, and I'll make sure not to let them sit too long. What about this one?" She asks, while holding up a forest green tablecloth.

Looking over all the beautiful rings she oohhs and aahhhs. Giving her love's hand a light squeeze Derika asks, "There are so many pretty ones. I really think we should get you something that reflects your connection to life and the stars...you know, you should have something that sparkles as much as you do."

I have the options on The Faces of Zahvroma. I tried to go with ones that either represented life in some form, or reminded me of the sparkling life within Vishanti.

Chris nods. "That one isn't bad."

Okay, so laying down just make me feel like throwing up, so I was looking at more rings. I've selected quite a variety, and deleted some of the ringsx that at second glance didn't measure up to what I thought measured up to what I was looking for. Vishanti is Derika's whole universe, and Derika wants her to have a ring that reflects that inner beauty. So....I'm having a really hard time picking, because I think they're all beautiful. So, I would say...pick out the top five that you love the most and rank them from 1-5, 1 being the one you love the absolute most, and I'll surprise you with one of them.

Gashka makes a face, "You don't sou dc very sure. Is there one that you like better?"

Chris holds up a green and white gingham tablecloth. "I like this one a little better."

Gashka smiles, "Ooohhhh....yeah, that is really pretty. Let's go with that one then. What about towels? Do you have any preference?" Gashka walks around the store putting various kitchen odds and ends in the basket as well as looking at different things with Chris to see what he likes.

Sorry I've gotten so behind with this, I'm getting caught up now.

It's okay, my head hurts

So like, I tried picking rings that I thought Vishanti might like. There's quite a few to look through, so just take yourf time. I'm sorry things are so crazy for you right now Bro. I wish there was more I could do to help.

"We can do a solid green for the towels," Chris says. "I think that would look nice."

Gashka nods, "Okay, that sounds gpod. Is there anything else we need?"

ViVishanti feels as if her feet barely touch the floor, as the love, elation, and excitement fill her with almost luminous energy. Shopping for wedding rings with Derika, seeing that joyously loving gaze in her beautiful amber eyes, fills her with emotion.

Gazing at the stunning rings, she gravitates toward a few that seem to truly reflect the energy of the starts and the cosmos.

Picked five in no particular order. Gonna take a nap

Derika smiles and kisses her cheek, "Just take your time love. There's no hurry." She says, not wanting her beloved to feel rushed into picking something out.

"Maybe some bedsheets and all the kitchen stuff," Chris answers.

Okay, I'll take the other ones down so I can see the ones you like.

Derika watches her love as ahe looks at the rings, "Are those the ones you like the most? I was just wondering if you wanted to pick out your own ring, or if you wanted me to surprise you with one of the ones that you like." She asks, not sure how her love wanted to decide on the rings.

She nods, "If they have any, we should probably try to get some warm sheets. Like the kind made from thicker material? Regular ones would be fine too. Do we want to go with a lighter color for that, or stick to dark colors?"

Chris smiles and blushes a little. "Well...the bed sheets are not really what I have my eyes on when we're in the bedroom."

Gashka cocks her head to the side, "Oh? Then what do....ohhhh ohhhh, I see." Gashka stutters as the realization of what he was saying hits her. Her own cheeks turn a dark green in response.

Chris smiles before clearing his throat. "Maybe we should get some warm ones. Maybe a dark blue or a purple?"

Gashka has to take a moment to breath correctly again, "Ummm....yes, that sounds like a good idea. I actually like both colors, but....maybe the purple? Actually, I think we should get one of each. You know...so that there's a clean set to put on the bed while the other is being washed?"

"Yes, that's a good idea," Chris says, trying to keep his mind focused on the shopping and not on Gashka's muscular form straddling him.

Looking at the rings with her love, fills Derika with a kind of joy that she had never felt before. As she sees the ones her love is drawn to, she moves closer for a better look so that her arm is loosely about her waist as she leans into Vishanti, "Those are beautiful. Not as beautiful as you, but still. I think...I like this one." She says, picking up the delicate set that had the phases of the moon, stars, and a fiery quality to the stone that reminded her of that spark that she saw in Vishanti. Like the day she brought little Talia back almost from the brink of death. She saw the stars in her that day, but she also saw much more.

Holding the ring out to her love she says, "Vishanti, my beloved, when I look at this ring....it reminds me so much of your inner fire. Your joy of life, of our life...the lives of others and dear you hold all of them to your heart. I don't need anything to remind me of the good I see in you every single day since the day we met. Your eyes shine like stars, the moon...the beautiful shining moon that allows us time to rest...to be quiet...to just be...I see it in your gentle and loving spirit, the fire in the stone, is the same fire of passion for life that you carry with you every day in your heart." Derika moves back just a little and says as holds the ring in her hand, "I think that this ring, this symbol of our eternal love...is the right one for you." With damp eyes she bites her lower lip slightly as she looks lovingly at Vishanti before lowering herself to one knee and offering the ring to her beloved, "What do you think? Would you like this to be your wedding ring, and spend the rest of your life with me?"

I went with number 4. The one with the stars, phases of the moon, and the fiery opal in it. That just seemed to pop out at me.

Nodding she puts them in the basket, "Alright, lets go get some dishes, utensils, and the other kitchen stuff and then we should have what we need right?" She asks as they head towards the kitchen stuff. Gashka concentrates on her breathing and holds the basket a little tighter. They needed to get this done so they could go meet up with Papa, and help with other stuff.....her mind starts to wonder to other...things and she has to shake her head to try and clear her more....primal thoughts.

Vishanti's eyes sparkle like starlight as they glisten with emotion, her heart overflowing with a love that defies description in it's intensity. Monetarily speechless with emotion the word come flowing out of her once she finds her tongue. "Yes...Yes a thousand times yes my love. Today, tomorrow and until our last breath and beyond, I will gladly, proudly spend my life at your side my Derika" she says breathlessly.

Standing back up, she wraps her arms around Vishanti and pulls her in close for tender kiss. Once they break the kiss, Derika's blue cheeks darken as she notices the shopkeeper. Leaning in close she whispers in her love's ear, "I think we should find my ring so we can pay for them and get home, where we can attend to....other matters. What do you think love?" She asks, while gently sliding a hand down to the small of her back.

"That should be it," Chris says, looking over the dishes and utensils. "You pick the dishes, I'll select the other stuff we need."

Gashka nods, "Okay, sounds good."

Gashka takes a few minutes to look through the dishes before settling on a white set with a leaf pattern on it. Taking them over to Chris she asks, "What do you think about these?"

"Those are nice," Chris says, his arms laden with utensils. "I just stuck with the necessities, I promise."

She smiles, "Well, since you're such a good cook, I'll believe you." Going up to the counter she starts unloading their selections, "I think we've found everything we need."

"I think we should definitely do that." Vishanti answers with a giggle. "I'd like to see you try on your ring....and nothing else." she whispers back pressing closer for a moment.

Bundling up for the cold, Anyka makes her way to Ryota's shop to make her purchases. Despite her head being filled with her recent thoughts and concerns, she can't help smiling as she approaches the handsome apothecary's shop.

"Excellent," Halfpocket responds, calculating the total of Gashka and Chris' purchases. "That'll be five gold, all in all."

Ryota looks up as Anyka walks in. "To what do I owe the pleasure, Anyka?"

Gashka looks a little surprised, "Really? That's all? I guess it's been a while since I lived anywhere long enough to settle down. I was starting to think that we were buying out your store."

Gashka digs into her bag and pulls out the five gold. Laying it on the counter she says, "You know, you have a pretty nice town here. If I had to get stranded on a strange planet, I'm glad it was this one, aznd I'm even happier that we found this town." Gashka looks over at Chris and gives him a smile, "Right sweetie?"

"Uh, right," Chris says, hoping that the halfling didn't think they were crazy.

"I'm glad that you like it here in Valwick," Halfpocket says, bagging up all the items in a burlap sack. He hands the bag to Gashka. "I hope to see you again soon."

What are you trying to say? What was weird about what I said?

Taking the bag she gives him a smile, "Thank you, and I hope you have a nice day."

Taking Chris's hand as they exit the shop she says, "Well, I guess we had better get this stuff back to the house huh?"

"Yes," Chris replies. "Hopefully we didn't take too long."

"Just picking up a few things....and saying hello." Anyka says with a smile.
