The pick ups

[Liitha]

DAY 31

 

Ata where walking through the city, the back yard where crowded with the horses and she knew the store owner looked forth to her going, thoug he hadnt said it rigth out. It had been imposible to keep from her what she was, she looked around her, today she would pick up the clothes and get some dried food as travel food, tomorow they would be on their way.

 

She turned her head looking at Nuitari a moment, "it will be good to be out of here" she smiled. Then they arived at the shop and she went to see what she had got of clothes.

Nuitari walked along with Ata and looked around. He looked towards Ata more than he used to walking the streets, and he knew he shouldn't but he was happier than he'd been in some time.

 

"it will be good to be out of here" Nuitari nodded and smiled back, before walking into the store right behind Ata and went to see what had been to the shirts he had ordered.

 

Taking the package of neatly folded, packaged clothes, he opened it there and quiclky flipped through them. The pale blue shirt was embroided, but he'd never really planned on wearing it anyways.

 

The dark green shirt he'd purchased also had a little embroidery, and he made a note in his head to take it out later before packing into his saddlebags.

 

Nodding, he tucked the package under his arm, and walked towards Ata, leaning against a nearby pillar to wait.

Ata fliped through the clothes before leting them pack them down, that was until she came to the botom of the stack and found a dress with red bands on it and embroideries in red. She plainly told them she would not pay for a dress directly against her instructions, she wanted no red.

 

The owner started arguing on how the red would suit her so well, Ata just shook her head and lay out the moneys for the rest. The woman started following towards the door but the stare Ata gave her stoped her in her tracks, Ata smiled as she entered the street. That glare served well on initiates and she had had plenty time to get it perfectly in over the years.

 

There would be time enough to look properly over the details of the dresses later before packing them down. After an hour purchasing food fit for traveling reserves she could finaly return to the apartment to start packing.

 

She looked as Nuitari sat down with one of the shirts, "Not to your liking? I guess I should go through mine as well to make sure they are okey beyond the rough outlook" she started packing up the dresses and go over the details with a trained eye.

Nuitari followed Ata out of the store, his bundle of new clothes under his arm, and walked with Ata around as they purchased some food, and he led the way to purchase his light leather armor, and then to the smithy to buy his his scale armor, and katanas.

 

He looped the blades onto his belt, and carefully adjusted the bundles so he could quickly pull a blade if he needed to. Following Ata back to her apartment, he laid his bundles on the ground in a line.

 

Tearing open his clothing bundles, he started examing them more carefully, and looked up as Ata came near. Nodding at her words, he bent his head back down to examine the two shirts he didn't like.

 

Shaking his head, he refolded them carefully, and examined his light leather armor carefully, before setting it aside and moving on to his new katana's. Drawing them both, he tested the edges carefully and broke out his kit to give them a good oiling and then sheathed them again.

 

Pulling his saddlebags closer, he unpacked them, and tucked the two shirts he didn't like at the bottom on the right bag. He placed the rest of his clothes on top, then his scale mail armor leaving the leather on top. He repacked all his survival things into the left saddle bag and closed them both.

 

Moving the saddlee bags back into the corner, he sat down slowly on a chair and closed his eyes.

[Liitha]

Ata carefully removed some decorations she wasnt pleased with before folding the dresses again and packing them all but one down in a sadlebag, it would have to do. Most of what they where taking where soon packed. She warded and tied of some of her caskets, though she thougth few would find any of interest in there. Her real secrets she had with her or packed away in secretsy on another location. It was all ready.

 

She took a seat in the coutch oposite of Nuitari after having had a last look around. "Tired?" she smiled.

[706Somtaaw]

Nuitari looked up at Ata as he heard her question, and a frown flickered on his face before he pushed it away. She could feel what he felt through the Bond, but he inhaled and nodded.

 

"A little, but not enough to really affect me," he said after a moment more. "Why do you ask?"

[Liitha]

She tilted her head and listened to him, "good, next time dont try to travel distances without me and i'll keep you alert" she smiled and picked up an embroidery.

 

Slowly she removed a couple of the stiches, it was becoming a pillow one day with white roses on, replacing the bad stches with more carefully made ones she caried on.
