Kylie turns and BLUSHES, her spirals going HOT pink under her blue hair "Shit furk no... Zing, I told you I wasn't going to show THAT In public"

Zara gives Earl a little hip bump, a wry smile, and she drifts off to inspect other goods.

And escape Zara does... finding, joy of joy, a dealer in herbs and yes, herbal teas. The sluagh is an old crone with ear muffs on but when she sees Zara she moves them back off her ears

Coradel looks back and her eyes widen. She looks first at Kylie and then at Zing, and new respect for their salesmanship lights her eyes.

"How much?"

"It's not meant to be sold I did it to see if I could work with that kind of.. I mean, it took three tries just so it didn't grab onto things and PINCH if you know what I mean..." THe Nocker stammers

Zing however chimes "Some would pay extra for that"

"You are confusing flaw with feature," Coradel agrees with Zing.

"If you don't get it, I might" Leonora says behind coradel admiring

"I'm half caught between being selfish and keeping it for myself, or getting it as a gift for you," she turns and gives Leonora a quick kiss on the cheek.

Kylie looks like she wants to throw a towel over it "Ah, how about " And she names a very reasonable price just to get rid of the thing

"Por que dos?" Leo is cheered by the kiss "I could borrow if you let me"

"Absolutely. Done." Coradel agrees with both Leo and with Kylie, and again arranges for payment. "And I may have some commission work for you soon, as well, now that I have a better sense of your work."

Kylie is still blushing but nods. And Earl gets the raven thing for a bit of a steal

When that is concluded, Coradel takes Leonora's hand and moves away with her to continue perusing and shopping. "How are you?"

"I've been better" she admits "Thank you for trying to talk Adam into picking a date, but to be fair, this is far better than the coma he was in. I think StevI and I getting drunk with him at Jack's the other night helped"

"Oh, good, yes, that probably did dull the pain a bit and get him a little further along the process."

And they go off to talk of how it went.

Earl joins ZARA at the Herb and herbal teas booth

"So, the Fiona sniped it?"

"If you mean the spider, Tylar , the little sneak, managed to get it before I could" He doesn't sound TOO mad though "I suspect Velvet will be pleased. If you mean the.. outfit thing" A lilght blush "Coradel appears to have insisted"

"Her perogative."

"Pity. Imagine Sunday night..."

BLUSHING

"Well, I imagine you in a lOT Of things" He confesses after a time quietly

"Well, I imagine there ought to be some celebration... a private one..."

"We have so many hopes in common" He says

"Aye. It may be Carnival itself is a let down..."

"It IS difficult to find something new."

"mmm" he ponders "You mean costumes? "

She nods.

"We have been Gomez and Morticia..."

"And, ah, Hades and Persephone..."

"I liked that one" he nods

"I as well."

"Perhaps a literary couple?" He ponders "Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler? "

"Mmm..."

"Heathcliff and Cathy?"

"well, we'd look a bit silly as cartoon strip characters but yes I could wear an orange tabby mask why you go 'Ack' a lot" Straight faced

"Fie!"

"Hamlet and Ophelia? There does seem to be an abundance of flowers..."

A laugh "I think Heathcliff and Cathy are fine if that's your preference" He kisses the top of her head "But the Bard's creations are well too."

"I suspect the latter might be easier to convey. Thou, dark and brooding.... I, unkempt, with flowers..."

"As long as we have a happier ending for you" A kiss, this time on her lips

"I like to think their ghosts found some solace."

"mm perhaps yes, I like that too."

"guh, boring And smoochy" A small boy's voice whispers

"Jacob, you are free to come up with any costume you please."

Jacob says "how'd you know it was me?" he asks peeking out
