Batista had originally been enroute to find out what the disturbance had
been in the merchant's area, but she had been stopped by a distraught
fiddler by the ice skating area. And by the time she had sorted out a
tangled performing schedule she learned the problem had been rectified.
She, however, prefered to see for herself, and started strolling to the
area in question.
"Miss Dyer!"
She looked about, and saw Fionnar waving her over. ::Is there a problem?::
she sent. Earlier he had come to the shop to pick out a length of delicate
blue wool for his beloved, Elektra, but now she saw him frowning at a
merchant's covered stall.
"I need some further advice," he said, "I would like to get Elektra
something...a little more personal....along with the cloth, but I don't
know what. And I know she's going to say I should have saved my coin
towards our wedding day." The blond-haired elf shrugged and added, "She
would be right ...."
Probably because Batista had helped "create" Fionnar from Emmon Filgers
she found herself a bit more tolerant of him. She knew that he was uneasy
around her, but in an odd way - trusted her.
And for now that trust was safe.
::Elektra is indeed a very practical young woman,:: Batista sent; she knew
that the lawyer's apprentice strove very hard to be independent, and that
it took Morrighu and Elenia some determined manuvering to get her to
accept a new gown. ::But she is also a young woman in love...and despite
what she says I don't think she'd find a bit of romantic impracticality
too horrible.::
"Maybe...,but what to get her?"
Batista lightly took hold of his arm, and guided him over to a merchant
selling gloves. ::From what I understand, its now quite fashionable to use
gloves to express your affection. I don't think that Elektra would find
such a gift too impractical....::
The cloth merchant winked at Fionnar, and added, ::But I wouldn't suggest
going for a pair of really plain ones....::
She left him happily shopping, and continued to check with various
merchants - to see if things were to their satisfaction.
