Return to Darkness » Places

         Allenora glanced at the man - more specifically, human - walk in the room, holding numerous large bags. She rose and eyebrow, walking swiftly behind the group and collected her rather weighty bag of gold. Usually she would be excited to accept such a large amount of gold, but she knew it should be well spent. She followed the group of people out to the now empty courtyard. She was surprised at how large it seemed now with all the people gone. They walked further onwards down into a street lined by many stores, selling a variety of items. What Allenora was craving the most for this trip was food and matches - lots of matches. It's not that she's afraid of the dark, but she feels a lot safer with a warm light near her eye.

Allenora smiled at the people who looked her way, asking if she'd want to buy anything, and a lot of the time she politely shook her head. I should probably pile up on bandages too, she thought to herself. She kept her eyes closely to the ground, making sure her hair covered her rather embarrassing sized antenna's before coming across a stall that seemed to sell packet ready-to-go meals. She smiled as she was greeted by the marketers, asking what she was after. She glanced briefly over the ready-to-go packets before asking for whatever 50 gold pieces will buy. The shop keeper beamed, pleased by the sale he was making. Allenora almost blushed, feeling flattered for helping someone, in a sense anyway. The shop keeper got busy, choosing a variety of meals, and soon Allenora was handed 20 ready-to-go packet foods. She grinned at the shop keeper and opened her own sack of goods before placing the packet meals in her bag. It was starting to feel rather heavy, but she knew soon she would be on the road and it would be the last of her thoughts.

Allenora walked a little further down the road, stopping every so often to look at the stalls, looking at the interesting products on offer, until she came across a little "Health" tent. Biting her bottom lip, she walked into the tent, and standing there was an elderly woman sitting in an old wooden rocking chair in the corner of the green tent. Allenora bobbed her head, smiling. The lady wobbled to a stand and smiled, "Hello deary, what can I get you?" She asked, the corners of her mouth turning upwards. Numerous lines cornered her eyes, giving the old lady no justice of age.

"I'm looking for bandages?" Nora replied quietly. She put her hands behind her back, biting her lip again. The old lady was nodding and waved a hand to the further side of the tent.

"Over there are lots of bandages, different sizes..." The lady rambled on the good uses for the sizes. Allenora nodded politely, not really caring about what the lady had to say.

"I'll get as much as I can with 30 gold coins," Nora handed the lady the 30 gold coins and in return got three large rolls of bandages. She smiled at the lady before she left the tent, putting the goods in her bag. She had 20 coins left, but she figured she might need more again on her trip later, and it was best to save them.

Allenora was outside of the green tent, and noticed a few people gathering together and speaking. She dipped her head low again, and starting walking towards the group. She came upon a decision that she shouldn't make things hard for herself, and should rather get to know the people that she would be working closely with.
