Sparklers [jewellery]

[Kisha-Ra]

What do you buy to express your appreciation to a kleptomaniac salamandyr? Darya had no real idea but she really wanted to buy Showoff something, she was sure he’d know it was for tricking Imp like that.

Well Showoff wouldn’t be fobbed off with a green firelizard toy, that was for sure. Well objectively the red bronze had all the taste of a deranged magpie, Darya had seen some of the nests he and Dael had put together over the past couple of turns, so she turned to the jewellery displays with an eye for something large and tawdry. However she was finding that buying something for a creature that was only a few inches long, in body anyway, was a problem. Most of the really sparkly stuff she doubted a salamandyr would be able to lift. Maybe something smaller and a bit more tasteful then…

A pair of gold earrings made her think briefly of Showoff with his frill pierced but somehow she couldn’t see him liking that, as amusing as it would look. Maybe a ring, he’d be able to carry it around at least. Casting her eyes over a display of silver rings she spotted something, a simple three stone piece set with garnets. It shouldn’t be too expensive. Now if she could just attract someone’s attention…

Rotund, and a bit florid in the face, the owner of the stall turned his gaze this way and that, beady hawkeyes settling on anyone who was close enough to try a grab and dash. He wasn't above chasing down a thief, but shardit if he'd make it easy for anyone to just walk up and take their time about it. Not to say that he wasn't polite to anyone who came up to look, but he was no fool. As such, the appearance of yet another gazer from the crowds did not miss his attention, though the austere, somewhat rumpled looking woman was not one he'd peg for thievery. He politely attempted to keep from staring her down as she perused his wares, which he was proud to say, were all polished to a high shine to best display their color and good quality.

He stepped over when she began to get the look of someone wanting to ask questions, and placed a decent, welcoming smile on his face. "'Ello Ma'am, 'ave you selected something you would loike to try on?" He dropped his 'h's but was generally decently spoken. He waved a beefy hand over the delicate rings she was last looking over. "These 'ere are all of a foine quality, and I doubt you'd foind their loike anywhere else 'round these parts."

Darya acknowledged the stallholder with a smile and shook her head slightly. ‘Thank you sir, but I’m not shopping for myself today, so I fear I’ll just have to guess at the size.’ She shifted Imp and his new best friend in her arms. ‘I would like a closer look at that garnet ring though, if you wouldn’t mind.’ She indicated her selection among the display with her little finger and made sure she still had Imp. She would put it past her pets to raid the display for a present for his firelizard doll while she was distracted.
