Markets

[Sparkles]

The village has peoples homes and many shops. beggers and gypsys usually hang out around here and kids are found everywhere! There are many marketplaces and much fruit and food sold along with anything else people can find.

Calin rode down the street on his stallion. He was on patrol, simply awaiting something to do... he was bored.

[Sparkles]

Tarsha and Tara slowely made their way into the village and through the marketplace. It wasn't rare for people to not dismount their horses and she didn't plan to dismount; she did at least take some of Calin's warnings with her. "Hey Tara... wanna go visit the blacksmith so i can pick up my new shiney?" And off they went in the direction of the blacksmiths. I mean. They'd probably stop heaps of times along the way, but at least the had a general direction now.

[Cloud Strife]

Will was also on patrol and was hoping to find Calin to converse with as well. The general was also bored, and so...he had resolved to find that little mongral of an adopted ...son? Brother? Whatever. He didn't know. All he knew was that he had failed in his attempts to find the kitty and so he was simply passing the time. A sigh came forth before suddenly spotting Calin. "Ah! Calin!" Will was sitting upon his beloved steed, Joost, while trotting towards him. "I have finally found you! Sheesh. It is strange how you can search and search for someone...and come across somebody completely different. Oh well! No matter. How are you this fine day?" Heh, though he was a general, that didn't keep him from striking up conversation with his fellow knights! Oh no, heaven's no. He was still just as kind. However, he could be cruel and mean if he needed to be....though this was usually only shown in battle or when he were protecting the king and his family.

Meanwhile, Driskcol was sneaking about, attempting to avoid Will. After all, he didn't want to face him. He had broken Will's treasured vase! He didn't want to have to speak to him...for he knew he would gain a nice scolding. Of course, how was he to know that his father figure hadn't even seen the broken art. Oh well, he would just continue to slink about....until finally....he suddenly spotted Calin and Will. "Uh..oh..Gotta hide, gotta hide. Crap crap crap." And with that, he scurried off....or at least he would have had he not run into someone in the process of fleeing.

The 'oof' sounding from the kitty caught Will's attention, thus resulting in him turning towards the commotion. "..Ah hah! There you are, Driskcol! Where have you been, lad?"

Driskcol eeped and looked over his shoulder sheepishly. "Uh...somewhere? >.> <.<;; "

[Sparkles]

Ailea scooted around a few markets and down on her knees infront of her mother. "Get up and stop it" she snapped at the woman who was begging for money of which if she had any snse she could easily work for in a proper job. "here" her tone softened as she passed her mother some piecees of fruit of which she had snook into her hands while shooting past some of the stalls.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Calin heard the familiar tone of the general and a good friend of his.
"Morning General... i am well how about yourself?" He asked casually, and when he heard a slight commotion and William crying out to someone he smiled.
"Boy trouble again huh?" He chuckled... he knew what that was all about... as he was the trouble boy once...
He heard something suspicious... a girl by the sounds of it, light build... clearly a gypsy by the sounds of the fabric she wore. She was pressing something into the hands of a woman he'd heard begging many minutes before.... He turned his head to their direction as if he was 'watching' them.

[Sparkles]

Tarsha rode along until she came to a nice market that had many beaded braclets. What the hell? Why shouldn't she get some? ^^ She smiled at the woman behind the wooden table and took 5 beaded chains from the table. The woman seemed to look at her as if expecting her to run away with them. Oops, she forgot... gold pieces first. This seemed silly, why were some people so cautious? She smiled reasuringly at the woman and reached into a small pocket on her boot to withdraw two thumbprint sized gold pieces. They were both the same. In the centre was a small hole that was actually suposed to be used to thread the coin onto a neckpiece to carry around. But she thought this was a silly tradition.
Tarsha handed the woman the coins and turned around to see an already eagre face. She chuckled as she handed one of the necklaces down to a small child and the young girl ran bak to her mother.
The mother of the young girl smile at her and took her chld off in another direction; leaving Tarsha and Tara back to going toward the blacksmith.

[Cloud Strife]

William sighed. "That boy...Ugh. He's so difficult to handle sometimes." He emit with a scratch to the back of his head. The general smiled to Calin, nodding and smiling. "I am well, thank you my friend." Will said before turning back to Driskcol who was fighting to get away from him. Heh, while the kitty hadn't realized it, Will had grasped the back of his shirt; preventing him from skittering off. The general was quick. "Ugh! Will!! Must you be so mean? I mean sheesh! Lemme go." He whined, flailing about.

"Absolutely not! Whenever I leave to go on patrol, you wind up getting into some form of trouble! From now on, I suppose I should keep you with me! Hmph. What do you think, Calin? What should we do with this rascal?" He inquired with a small smirk.

[Sparkles]

Tarsha noticed Sir Calin, Sir William and Sir Diskcol infront of her and imediatly her smile widened. "Sir Calin?" she asked, Tara coming up beside him, "Do you have any clue when i have to be back? She'd inquire; her cheeks lit pink as she regually forgot to ask and would turn up late for something important. While waiting she spared a smile to the other two.


Ailea sat down beside her mother with her legs outstretched between two stalls. It wasn't the best place to sit but they wouldn't get stepped upon >< She braught a green apple to her mouth and bit down on it; the juice dripping a bit. Yum, and it was crunchy! She stared ahead of her in a daze and watched the feet that passed; followed by a fair few other things like paws and hooves.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Calin couldnt help but laugh as William caught the boy that caused him so much trouble.
"Perhaps keeping him nearby is a little over protective... sign the lad up for an apprenticship in a blacksmith or something... keep him occupied." He then heard Tarsha from somewhere beside him and grinned.
"That tower..." He said pointing in the direction of a large tower. "When the sun reaches the spire on the top." He said casually, smiling kindly.

[Sparkles]

Tarsha looked up at the tower and swollowed. She had only one hour to get what she needed and get back to the castle in time to see her father. He seemed to have something that he wanted to say to her and her brother at the same time. Little did she know that when she heard it she wouldn't think of it as casually. "Did you say something about a blacksmith?" she quieried, looking at Sir Calin. "I'm going there now if anyone would like to come?" she'd offer to be polite.

[Cloud Strife]

Williams eyes lit up at the prospect of getting Driskcol into a honest to God career! "Ah, I love the idea! M'lady Tarsha, could you perhaps...." He spared Drisk a glance, and with a roll of his eyes, continued. "....escort, Driskcol there now? He has a tendency to have sticky fingers, if you catch my meaning." He gave a small glare towards the kitty before letting out a chuckle. "Only if you do not mind, M'lady."

Driskcol was confused...what was this about a blacksmith?! He didn't wanna become a Blacksmith! O.O;; "Eh!? Nooo! Not that, anything but that! >_< I may be good with my hands, but when it comes to craftsmenship, I suck royally!!!"

A small twitch of Will's left eye followed before soundly whacking Driskcol over the head. "Shut up, will you? You are in the pressence of the princess, little idiot! Sheesh. Think of it as training! Besides, would you deny such a wonderful girl, your company? She needs a big, strong man like you to help her along the way!" Oh what an accomplished liar, William was. Of course, all of this was whispered to the kitty, Will smirking the whole time. So evil, so funny, so....un-general like. -_-;;

[Tifa Lockhart]

Calin heard the whack as William's hand hit the boys head. He winced and raised his own hand to the back of his head, remembering how many times he had been punished in a similar fashion.
He didn't interfere, but he had a feeling the princess would gladly oblige... she was like that.

[Sparkles]

Tarsha had to supress her laughter at Diskcol when he 'refused'; not that she thought it did any good. "I'd be happy to" she smiled. Tara looked at her with suprise, weren't they going to some other place?
But soon she understood when Tarsha looked at her and shook her head before giving a quick point in the direction of the clock.

Stephan made his way to the markets where he bought several apples and some other provisions like rope and a tinder box before he remounted and continued down the rode at a walk, keeping his hood over his face as he made his way to the exit of the city.
