These Little Piggies Went to Market [Kaleb and Reine] (Closed)

Reine — 06/15/2021
Reine had changed her clothes into the ones that had been provided for her outside of the door of the fresher. She thought it was Tesara but the padawan couldn't be found. It turned out that her coin purse wasn't with the rest of the bags. It saddened her that the little bobbles that she had grown up with were no longer in her possession. Maybe, by the grace of the Angel, they would be returned. Although, the way that Tesara had been speaking they were almost certainly gone.

It had been pointed out that there was a small outdoor market a few kilometres away and it was heavily advised that they get some supplies here before going to Rotterdam. If they had been in Rotterdam, Reine would have no problem locating shops that would supply her needs. But it would be nice to have her own clothes again. So far, every time she put on something new something happened to her. She was sick of feeling like a drowned kitten.

She walked up to Kaleb, and looked at him expressionless. "Are you ready?" The question was quiet and devoid of the frustration she had possessed recently. It would be nice to break away from the group, even for a small amount of time. She figured that everyone was feeling a bit cramped.

Kaleb was happy that his ribs weren't sore anymore. But this tunic that the lord of Serenno used to wear wasn't his style. It seemed way to.... upety to him.  The tunic itself seemed okay, but he could tell that it was made of only the highest quality, which meant he had to be careful or it'll rip. He didn't like the belt that came with it, and he'd be damned if he would be caught dead wearing the cape he had left on the bed. "Of course I'm ready." he replied as he adjusted the tunic some more.

Reine — 06/15/2021
Reine softly giggled behind a delicate hand. He was not hiding his discomfort very well. But, part of his discomfort came from the seams being askew and the fabric structured in another away than he was used to. She held up her hands, showing her palms, in a surrendering motion. "May I?" She asked with a tentative smile knowing that a few tweaks would make the garment fit much better.

Kaleb Wren — 06/15/2021
He gave a shrug and a nod indicating for her to go ahead.

Reine — 06/15/2021
She approached him slowly, and wrapped her arms around to the back of his neck. Her skin smelled clean from the soap of her shower, unlike the heavy herbal and floral perfume she wore the first night she arrived. She folded down the neckline of the tunic, and then with strong and assured hands twisted the garment on his shoulders, pulling the arms down straight, before moving to his waist and pulled at the hem making sure that it laid flat. Where one may take the opportunity to be flirty, she was all business. Fashion was an art and needed a high level of engineering skill to make it work correctly. She stepped back and looked the garment over. Her attention was not on the young Mando but the garment. Tilting her head she noticed the cape on the bed. "Are you not going to wear the statement piece? It brings it all together!" She smiled brightly but it was almost impossible to tell if she was being sarcastic or not.

Kaleb Wren — 06/15/2021
"No." he replied, even though she might have been sarcastic about it, he was going to make sure that his feelings about that thing.

Reine — 06/15/2021
She rolled her eyes with a slight smirk. She turned around and walked towards the door. Or where she thought the exit was. Tesara, or whoever picked her clothing out, did pretty well. The mock neck silk dress, hugged her curves but the brocade gave it structure. She moved well in it with no sense of discomfort. "Do we need to bring anything? Is there a transport?"

Kaleb Wren — 06/15/2021
"Neither of us have chain codes right now remember, so transports would be out of the picture. Looks like we'll be walking to this market." he told her. "We're lucky that his place takes credits, but I only have so many."

Reine — 06/15/2021
Her shoulders slumped slightly before she took a breath and squared them. "There were some that were left on my clothing. It was either Tesara or Tiny Pants. Most likely the latter. I will have to get a few cartes des merci though." She was thankful that she only had flats as a walk in heels would murder her feet.

Kaleb Wren — 06/15/2021
"Well we'll just  stick to essentials." Kaleb told her.  He did have some local curreny that he had exchanged, around a hundred of those, and then about a thousand credits. He really needed to start working so he can get some money.

Reine — 06/15/2021
The two made their way out of the "Lover's Apartment" and onto the street. It wasn't a dirt ridden path, but paved walkways and people milling about. Yes, there were transports, but walking was still a main form of getting from one place to the other. Reine clasped her hands in front of her as she walked. A very demure maneuver that spoke volumes of her upbringing. For someone who seemed to always have something to say, she couldn't find anything to talk about.

Kaleb Wren — 06/15/2021
As for Kaleb, he was on guard, though he was trying hard to make it look as if he were just taking a walk with a friend. If anyone recognized Reine, he wanted to be able to act in a hurry. He wished he had his weapons, but in this outfit it would draw to much attention to them.

Reine — 06/15/2021
Kaleb's tension was coming off of him in waves. There were people who were making a wide birth around them, no matter how much Reine smiled and waved at them. Finally, after the itchiness of her palms got to be too much she slid her hand into the crook of his arm. "Respirer," she said lowly to him.

Kaleb Wren — 06/15/2021
"Mi am breathing. " he said in outter rim Creole. But if she was feeling that he seemed tense then he did his best to relax more and to not seem as intimidating as he was seemingly being.

Reine — 06/15/2021
Reine held onto his arm a little tighter, and let her other hand fall to the side, in an easy swinging motion. "Tell me something happy about your past."
