☬-Thorn of The Rose-☬ 2x2 W/ Wolfrunner & Spiritstar3

Aralynn watched Orion leave the shop. Her hand clenching, flexing into a trembling fist at her side.

Esmerelda.

He had mentioned Esmerelda. What more he knew who she really was and that information, more so then mentioning the female vampire who was apparently his sister, gave away just who he was affiliated with, or at least was familiar with. The only ones that knew of her real identity were the members of the Himura Household and one other. For both this man and his sister to know who she was…..

Aralynn got a grip on her fist as she felt her feet hurry towards the door of the shop just a little too late. For when the girl reached the entrance and looked outside from the doorway…….he was gone without any trace. Feeling her fangs digging into her lower lip, the cloaked girl backed up back inside the shop before turning her back on the shop entrance to head back over towards Vivian.

Nina looked unsure as she turned from the staff members leading them down the hallway to the morning meal and then to her sister. All she could do was silently hope that they were both right.

Meanwhile Rigel was leaning up against wall of the front of the main manor building, the sun by now a decent height in the sky. It's light warm and bright for the hours of the day. As they passed the kitchen and dinning hall the blonde had grabbed a pair of rolls with some freshly made cheese for the pair of them on their way out. Suddenly he looked up pushing himself off the wall, "Our mounts are here at long last. They shall be arriving any moment I believe."

The dark haired boy hummed a small sound as he stood by as well. He looked out towards the sun, as it was up in the sky. He quickly looked away, not wanting to mess up his eyesight. The sun, he'd been told, could mess up your eyes if you looked directly at it too long. Shaking his head, he looked to Rigel. The other had gotten rolls with cheese for them both. He'd smiled and thanked him, and now looked over as Rigel said the horses would be there soon. He nodded and said "That's good, then we can get going."

The reddish brown haired little one looked to her twin. She tried to look reassuring, but wasn't sure how well she was doing at it. The four year old then began to wonder. She wondered how close it was to their birthday, which they'd been told was July twelve.

Vivian had been too caught up in browsing garments to have buried just what Orion had said to Aralynn. Perhaps she was not the best shopping partner / guard. But she did notice Aralynn suddenly rushing over to the door

" Miss!" She called out, meeting Aralynn and grabbing onto one of her shoulders as soon as she'd turned around from the doorway. " Whats wrong?"

Meanwhile the seamstress was laughing. " If you wish to give Sir Rosenwald your thanks or well wishes do not fret. I'm happy to pass the message to him for you " Spoke the seamstress.

[wolfrunner]

Looking up in time to meet with Vivian having caught up with her Aralynn blinked. She didn't bother trying to remove her shoulder from the other woman's grasp, instead focusing on using it as an excuse to tell herself she could not go after Orion. Though a voice in her head kept repeating following him was perhaps her best chance at finding a certain vampire who apparently refused to leave her and her love alone. Even when they'd seen hide nor hair of him. The letter they'd recieved written by another's hand.

And then the seamstress spoke up and the young girl knew she had to do whatever she could, say whatever she could, to keep face with both of them. The rest of their little shopping group too should Vivian go and report back to the rest of the ladies in the household. So raising a hand up, Aralynn lightly patted her companions hand resting on her shoulder a few times to assure her. "Tis okay Vivian.", the girl nodded, "I was just overwhelmed and, though I'm ashamed to say such a thing, afraid. You know meeting someone like him and all that, especially out of nowhere. Thank you for your concern and I'm sorry I gave you a reason to worry about me at all. That was rude."

Turning to the seamstress then smiling widely, "Yes please if you wouldn't mind. Also you wouldn't happen to have any loose black bird feathers would you? Perhaps those of a raven or a crow?"

[owl0430]

"Alrighty then. I'll make sure to send your regards. In the meantime, regarding your question, I believe I should somewhere in the back. I'm not just you're everyday seamstress I'll have you know! I get quite a few pureblooded customers here. 'Twould simply not do to have anything but the highest quality of gowns and unique looking ones at that." the seamstress then politely nodded at Aralynn. " I shall fetch them promptly for you miss."

And so Vivvian captured Aralynn's hand and dragged her back over to the dresses to continue browsing. Eventually, the woman returned with some feathers.

" I do have some crow feathers presently miss."

Off in others parts of the kingdom of Runemeth, Valentine was off shopping for a fitting formal attire, while a certain blonde sibling was of in another town shopping for a proper dress as well. So far, to no avail.

[wolfrunner]

“Thank you. Tis much appreciated.”, the girl replied watching the seamstress walk off. Only to be grabbed by her shopping companion and dragged back to the numerous dresses and gowns the next moment.

Aralynn cast a sideways glance back at the shop entrance before refocusing on Vivian and the dresses once more. Orion pushed to the back of her mind as she reminded herself now was not the time to dwell on their meeting. Not while out in public at any rate. She had just started going through a particular rack of gowns when the seamstress returned, in her hands were the dark feathers that Aralynn had asked her for drawing her attention. Turning around, the Changeling faced the women smiling. “They’re beautiful. I know people say crows are ill omens and harbingers of death but I find them to be lovely birds. Their feathers are no exceptions either.”

[owl0430]

" It all depends on your viewpoint, and how much you beleive in superstitions. Personally I just love the hints of iridescent blues and greens on the feathers when the light hits them just right. "

" Please, consider the father's a gift. Any friend of Sir Rosenwald's is a friend of mine. " Spoke the seamstress, right before Vivian was excitedly holding the skirt of a dress in her hands. Twould seem she'd found her pick. The look on the woman's face as she stared at the down said it all. It'd even captured the seamstresses attention.

" Well now. It would seem someone has made a selection. Both of you are welcome to try on the gowns you like. Should you end up deciding on one we must make sure it's a proper fit aftersll. Anything too short would not do, but you mustn't be tripping over it either "

[wolfrunner]

The ride into the town had been, well fun actually. Once they'd gotten a little ways away from the manor, Rigel had cast a glance over towards Haruna before out of nowhere kicking his horse into high gear. As in a full on gallop straight ahead.

And the gallop didn't stop until the two men reached the inside limits of the town. That was just a short while ago.

"Not bad...for a human. To think you twould defeat me who has had a century plus fifty of experience at a race down from the estate, quite the blackmail you have there. I shudder to think how you twill use it.", said Rigel with a hum. The blonde was relaxed walking keeping good even pace with the young man, the two of them having since dismounted and left their steeds at the public town stables. "But for now we have a job ahead of us. Tis good for us that there are a few decent shops here which may have what we are looking for."

The dark haired boy had hummed a bit as they'd gotten on the horses. It had been a nice, quiet ride, at least for a bit. Then, then Rigel had glanced towards him before taking off. Haruna had made a small sound, and gotten his horse to a gallop too. Demon and Angel, he'd decided to leave behind. He knew he should ride one of them, but they didn't like to be apart. Instead, he'd seen a mare that was newer to the manor. He wondered if she was meant to be a carriage horse.

Maybe, maybe he should only have two horses and no more. However, he'd been told the mare was shy, and seemed skittish of people. She'd been drawn straight to him, though. He'd had James take the geldings out to the pasture. Meanwhile, he'd coaxed the mare, Angelic Song. He was riding her now, and she was the one he raced against Rigel. He wasn't sure what blackmail Rigel referred to...nope, not at all. He giggled then blushed a bit, sighing and shaking his head.

He patted the mare, saying "Good girl," then they were on their way.

He nodded to the other male, saying "Suits...of course there's suit and dress shops."
