Snippet #1908143

Femi stared mutely at his retreating back. Judging from their exchange, the 'yen' that Takuya had given the man seemed to be the currency here. She was used to seeing coins exchanged back and forth between merchants, but this is the only time she'd ever see saw one in paper.

She had heard that other nations used it to pay for their goods. However this would be the first time she'd see one. The currency looked like plain paper to her. Staring at it as the man kept it in another metal looking box, Femi instinctively wondered about her spending. She don't have any inch of gold within her person. Even her hair dresses which could have been sold for more than fifteen pieces of gold coins, she doesn't have currently.

She felt her hope of returning home dwindling. She had rather been nasty to Takuya and she figured that if she will continue acting like this in his presence, he might just decide not to help her. Though she's confident she can charm her way towards others, still it would be much easier to ask help from this lowly peasant instead of making an effort to look for others.

It would be best for her to stick with this man for the moment. If she needed to stay here in order to get home, then she'd do it. She'll do anything she can to get back to Esna. Even if that meant trying to get along with this peculiar man.

Femi will ask him to teach her. He must teach her the ways of this land first. He should, and Femi will make certain of it, that he will teach her everything he knew. And when the moment comes that she's used to this land, she'd do anything to find a way to get home.

For this to succeed, she will try her hardest to be kind to him. If she needed to be submissive and obedient, she will do try. This means that she will not throw tantrum. Femi will be at her best behavior possible. Takuya will see the famed court version of Femi Ahmose, the beloved daughter of King Amuddalla Takutah Ahmose.

She sighed and followed him, unmindful of the unusual look that she noticed getting from the man behind the counter. She shook her head and closed her hands in a tight fist raising it in the air. 'Fight Femi!' She cheered inwardly, her earlier action causing the box to fall in the floor. Femi started walking, possibly going outside as she followed the brown-haired man.

The Egyptian Princess was on her way to the weird contraption when suddenly a hand caught her right arm. She suddenly toppled outbalanced and have almost slid down the floor when she noticed a large man behind her. "Excuse me?" She stated in an irritated bossy tone.

Just who does this servant think he is? Manhandling someone of her stature?

"Ye, sir", she spoke, mindful of her manners and recent vow. "What do ye want from me?"

"Miss, I'm afraid that you must pay for that cereal that you opened. Any merchandise that are broken or opened is considered sold", the black-skinned tall man said and he raised a the crumpled box of 'cereals' in his hand.

Femi paled and she turned towards the retreating back of Takuya Sanada. "M-my c-coins are with that man!" She stated hysterically not caring how she sounded. Pointing an index finger towards the brown-haired man, she tugged her hand off the man and shrilled once again in a clear voice. "My coins are with that man!"
