Shopping, with Tiwa

[element_wizard]

The door leads out into a shaded courtyard paved with pale red stones. Two sides of the courtyard is created by the house, the third a stable and the fourth the gate into the outside city. A tall tree with wide, flat, pale yellow leaves is in the center, its roots woven into nooks to sit in. Laruna sits on one of the roots, her fingers criss-crossing a cats-cradle game while next to her stood a man about hers and Alec's age. He has short curly auburn hair on a round face with hazel eyes. He could be nice looking except for the rather unpleasant smirk on his face. He's nuts eating from a small bag, from which Laruna occasionally snags some from.

The air is crisp with the tang of just started spring. Tall mountains cusp the surrounding view with white finger tips. Two moons hang like wisps of clouds in the sky, barely visible. The house is a two story cream colored building with a rooftop that came to a sharp point to prevent snow for clinging on to it. Glass panes protected the windows and are nudged open just a bit to let the fresh air in.

It is a rather pleasant day, all in all.

"Something fiery. What about that phoenix necklace? Would he like that, Laruna?"

Laruna picks it up again and looks at it. "Hrmm... maybe."

[piwakawaka]

"What do you think he'd like?"

Tiwa stops because she found a necklace that's a flower which reminds her of the frangipaini at home.

Laruna walks past a couple of booths before stopping at one. "This," she says confidently. She holds up a sword pendent with a blood red stone on it.

[piwakawaka]

"Oh that's cool, its dangerous looking and pretty."

Jono looks at it. "Almost like Alec," he says cheerfully.

[piwakawaka]

"Yup, now surprise him with it since the romance part is important."

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

"Surprising him is romantic?" Jono asked, though he's clearly not that clueless. "I never understood that one."

[piwakawaka]

"Getting a gift is lovely but its even better when its just because you're you."

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

Jono rolls his eyes and mutters something about "girls". He does buy it, however.

"Do you want the necklace?"

[piwakawaka]

"Which one?"

She giggles and grins at Laruna, they win.

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

Laruna grins back.

"The flower one?"

[piwakawaka]

"Yeah, did you see if there were earrings too?"

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

Turning back to the booth with the necklace, Laruna checked. "They do!" she called.

[piwakawaka]

"Sweet, did you find anything you liked?"

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

She held up her bag, something clinkings. "Oh, I did. Some beads for my hair."

"Which I did not pay for," Jono said as he gave the woman at the booth a small chit.

[piwakawaka]

"Nice, you've got great hair to do stuff with."

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

She pats her hair. "Thank you. We could do your hair too."

[piwakawaka]

"That might be pretty. So anywhere we should go?"

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

"We should get Alec," Jono said looking around for the missing member of their party. "Then maybe food? I'm starved."

"Not enough nuts for you?"

[piwakawaka]

"He wants his sausage and oh yeah food would be good."

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

Fortunately when Alec joins them, he's not munching on anything phallic. "We're eating?"

"Yes," Jono said. "Jackies?"

"Why did you suggest that! It's so... mundane."

[piwakawaka]

"Where do you want to go, Alec?"

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

He stares up at the sky. "Let's go to the Shades."

Laruna frowns. "We're not dressed for that."

"Who cares!" Jono said. "I have a table."

[piwakawaka]

"What's the Shades?"
