Saibh thinks she hears a familiar voice, tilting her head for a moment before shrugging it off, figuring it's the crowd. She holds up a short sleeved dress, deep red this time and holds it against her fur before asking the merchant, "Sharp enough contrast you figure?" before sighing at the shrug, probably having been through this a few times. She sets the dress aside and fishes around in her kit for the pouch of crowns and starts to unwrap the opening when she looks back, offers a smile and a cheerful wave to the vixen. "I'm surprised those still fit. How're you feeling?" as she sets the crown on the countertop, keeping her fingers firmly around the tied opening. "Uh, right, I'm well for what it's worth! Just uh, got Selena and Arimia's thing coming up, their uh, thing. I want to look nice for them"
Mirana looks over Saibh a few times, "Look nice for them... for their.. oh.. so they decided to do it!? I remember a few mentioning that they were thinking of... getting bonded. I... I wonder why they didn't tell me?" She looks a bit downcast at the news. She sighs a little but then looks back up, "Well... I guess an invitation just got lost or something..." She looks around the market again and wonders, "Well, how are you doing of late? Any changes with you?" She asks, also gesturing to her clothes, "As you can tell they don't fit well."
Saibh looks over at Mirana and nods, poking through the clothes one last time in an attempt to hide some embarassement, "Yeah I think so. Uh.. you should talk to Arimia about it if she doesn't run in terror at the mentioning of it. Or if I uh.. well, nevermind" She then turns and offers a bit of a smile, "I'm uh, doing well enough other than new work and erh... A-uh, yeah"
Mirana sighs again, "Well, I wouldn't want to intrude... it is their day after all." She looks around again, "And new work? What kind of work?" She ponders. Off in a nearby stall someone starts to shout, "Lunar Dust! Direct from the moon itself, fallen upon the farms outside of our fair city! 200,000 crown a bag! Come get them!" Many people gather around to look at it, but none seem able... or willing to buy it. Mira's ears twitch a bit though, "Hear that? Someone has Lunar Dust? And they are selling it?"
Saibh taps her fingers on the tabletop and rolls her shoulders back, then says, "I uh, work over at the." She leans forward and murmurs something to Mirana, then rubs the back of her head. She looks up to the sky at the comment of Lunar dust, looks to Mirana and asks, "Is it real or is it some funny colored silt that someone found? I'd.. be cautious of that" she then gestures over and says, "What do you think, dress or clothes?"
Mirana looks over again at the barker, "True.. but then again, I'm not unskilled at identifying materals myself." She says. She looks a bit shocked over to Saibh when she mentions where she works, "Really? Umm.. well, if you need crown.. or just a job, or a way to be.. well more social, I can help, do you play an instrument?" She asks. Humm... she thinks a moment, "I really think you look nice in a dress, so I'd... well.. I'd say that, and... give them my regards, on their big day..." She shakes her head with a sigh, "Come with me, I'm going to check out that dust." The barker continues, "No one? No one for 200,000? How about 150,000 a bag!? 150,000 crown for a bag of Lunar Dust!"
Saibh looks at Mirana and says, "I'm pretty bad at identifying that stuff really. I can tell you how good some wood is and maybe a bit on messing with metals, but for the most part, uh... yeah, no good." She then pads over and looks at Mirana quietly, then slowly reaches out and pats her shoulder and says, "I could use all of the above, I just wanted to try something else out, besides it.. it's really not so bad" She then leans forward and says softly, "You're worrying too much, just, just give it some time, I'm pretty sure you're not being left out of it okay?"
Mirana shakes her head, "No, it is Miss Arimia's way, but... it is also my fault, that was so stupid..." She doesn't mention what was so stupid but just walks over to the barker, "Let me see that dust please!" She says and is handed a small sample bag, "Ok there Lady, just be sure you don't try to walk off with it, it is the real thing!" She opens the bag up and looks at it, shifting it around in her hand, nodding a few times, then looks back up to the barker, "It is fairly low grade! Trying to con us all?" She winks to Saibh, "I'll tell you what, I'll give you 90,000 a bag to take it off your hands and see if I ever find a use for it in my smithing, it might let me add some Divine Math to my works if I use enough of it." She whispers over to Saibh before continuing. "How does that sound?" The barker laughs, "90,000! No less then 125,000!" Mira's turn to laugh, "No less! No more then 110,000!!" The barker looks down at her, "Ok! I'll give you a deal, seeing how you are a Solacious noble! How about 120,000, but only because of all the deals I've had with your house!" Mira shrugs, "In the interest of future deals, I'll be willing to go 115,000 and the promise to buy all of your bags at that price!" The barker looks a bit taken aback. 115,000 was lower then he really wanted to go, but the peacock doubted he would sell more then one or two bags, "Sold! 5 bags of lunars for 115,000 each!" Mira smiles and whispers again.
Saibh offers a weak smile as she watches Mirana work. She holds her hands up and says, "Low quality huh? Warned you didn't I?" she's glad the crowd's about, helps hide that she's winging it. She then pads a bit closer to get a better look at both the merchant and the work going back and forth. Standing on her toes to get a head on the crowd, she mutters as she's blocked off by a large folk and instead slips over to meet the pregnant vixen halfway there. Her ears perk briefly at those whispers, then she leans in and returns the whisper, hoping it's audible enough with the commotion
Mirana continues to lead Saibh away a bit, trying to find a more quiet place, eventually ending at the clothing sections of the market again. "Need to learn to dance? Oh! I can show you, or Miss Ariella.. or Miss Bite, they are all really good dancers, but I can do well myself when I have to." She explains, "And a piccolo, that is a small flute! It has a very high pitch to it, and sounds heavenly when played right.. or.. like a child screeming when played wrong." She giggles a bit, "And I'm not making anything! These will be used to help me study creator tech some more. I have read some writing that tell that these crystals make the spirits of the Creator's alters happy, so, I'm going to keep a few on hand to help me with my studies." She explains, then turns back to the clothes, "You know... maybe I should pick something out if Miss Arimia and Selena do decide I should go... or.. maybe I could come as your guest?" She wonders, "But... I've not much eye for fashion." She admits.
Saibh rubs the back of her head and watches the vixen for a moment, turning red, then murmurs softly, "Well, maybe you should play the piccolo wrong a bit, get used to the sound?" She laughs softly, then glances down at the ill fitted leathers before she adds quickly, "Creator tech? I was uh.. Oh! Speaking of things beyond my understanding, I was looking into learning a bit about golems. Mostly out of curiousity, but also, just in case." Shifting her weight to her other foot, she adds, "And if you'd like to teach me, I'd be happy to learn. As for the clothing.. I would, it can't hurt to be prepared a bit in advance right?"
