Around them, there were few people now that they were away from the inn. The only ones in sight were a few kids playing some kind of game. Cináed’s eyes lingered on them momentarily before he turned to Neoma. “Can’t you hurry up?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCB9iutrmv
   ”No, we’re almost there.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckfmZV2SSm
   ”Good,” he grumbled. She rolled her eyes and ran a hand through her messy, unbrushed hair, and Cináed resorted to once more glaring holes in the back of her head.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0Yrids2h
     ”You know the two of you fighting doesn’t solve anything, right?” Luna crossed her arms and looked him dead in the eyes, which amused him.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPQz6UhzHW
   ”So? Doesn’t need to,” he responded honestly. 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiln7tww4sX
   She sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly. After another few seconds, she got distracted by one of the clouds, and she was smiling once again. Idiot, he thought with a snort.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimXA3oxsbv
1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rZ99s54VK
   After another few minutes, Neoma stopped in from of a store. “Here we are.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOibM9KmfV
   ”Finally…” he grumbled. Luna dashed over to the door and walked in, giving a soft giggle. The other two followed, Cináed first, then Neoma.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1Nbr4hF5
  Various dresses of different colors stood on display. Most had wide, puffy sleeves, long ones, or a mix of both. All were floor-length. “Out of my area,” he muttered, gesturing for Neoma to actually do something.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OyzOjlEST
   ”It’s not exactly mine, either,” she noted, looking at Luna, who was already looking at them with sparkling eyes.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A8NbM5tZJ
   ”Can we just hurry up?” he complained. “I hate this.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZWQs4VA6C
   ”Well, it’s not exactly my favorite way to be spending a Thursday morning.” She walked over to the counter, and Cináed followed, uninterested in examining the clothing. The girl slammed her fist onto the counter, grumbling quietly. 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSisIMBHZG4
It took a few minutes for a woman to emerge from the back room, rambling in French and clearly distracted by whatever she was holding. Cináed huffed impatiently to catch her attention.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N1lFKEgoR
   She stopped to look up and gasped upon seeing his face. “Your eyes?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg8r3rIEtt
   ”Foreigners,” he said as a quick explanation, grimacing. “Normal for us.” Technically true. She gaped for a moment, looking between the two, then nodded slowly.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfSqcPjzIj
     Neoma piped up after a moment of silence, pushing a small bag of coins onto the table. Some fell out with a clatter; strangely, some had turned to French coins. “Dresses.” The shopkeeper looked up at her, then the coins, then slowly nodded, motioning for them to follow. “Luna! Come on.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzZd6xIGKl
   Luna lifted her head and made a dash after them. On reflex, he made to step after the three, but after receiving a death glare, he moved back. They entered the back room, and he leaned against the counter. During the time they spent in there, a few yelps, soft chattering, and subdued growls were heard. Meanwhile, Cináed fiddled with the silver ring. It stung every time his fingers brushed it, but as for his other hand… it felt about the equivalent as sticking his hand into a furnace. 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MgpaHY51N
     After a short while, Neoma and luna came back out, Neoma with her arms crossed and Luna practically skipping. He looked up and dropped both hands to the table. “Are you finished with this yet?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGSc9IS44L
   ”If we spend the day doing something, yeah, she needs time to actually make the dresses.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQMAbZog27
   ”Fantastic.” 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCGtY6rYNh
   ”Let’s go, then.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmInLoSXz9
   As they walked, Luna looked over at him. “So what should we do!?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZTqYNOM48
   ”How should I know?” 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EnoQ85bZS
   ”I thought you’d have something in mind…” She pouted, looking off to the side.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PA7HV0n37
   ”Why’s that?” Curiosity was starting to get the better of him now.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncjRKFQTL0
   ”I dont know? Neoma’s kinda forcing you around, so I thought you’d wanna do something?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIXCL45vd7
   ”Kinda? What I WANT to do is get this damn ring off so I can go where I want,” he hissed.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdCEmdvFdP
     She tilted her head. “I can’t control what Neoma does…”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHbJFSKFKM
   ”That bitch… dunno why she’s even bothering to drag me around.” The shifter started toying with the ring again. The skin under and around was blistering and an ugly red color.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXixQjulM9
   She shrugged, looking ahead for a few moments, then at his hand. “The more you mess with it, the more it will end up burning, you know…”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszFpo2KUtF
   He growled. “No shit. Better than having it burn through the skin.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfwjV10qv7
   ”Hm.” She paused. “Maybe when it’s loose enough you can slide it up?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jq7R02Pka
   ”Maybe. Damn, this hurts.” Understatement of the year. He glared at the ring for a minute before dropping his hand.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgTNMKUrCF
     ”Sorry?” She was looking at the shops now, staring at some food ones. He just muttered a jumbled complaint under his breath.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidHsduI0Jd
   Neoma suddenly stopped by one of the buildings, and he glanced toward her. After a second, she yawned and went back to walking, but just as suddenly made a sharp turn in his direction. “Hey.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3qZAeYoDm
   He paused, eyebrows going up.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgpiX09L3b
   ”Someone better have something to do, because this isn’t a thing to do.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVMu41CXLP
   He shrugged. “Why don’t you?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlOpHksgKP
     ”I’m not exactly the description of fun ideas.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpIlLFMrfC
   ”… Really? Never would’ve guessed.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmjNhpvR7B
   She grumbled lightly. “Like you should be commenting on that.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNphdzvrwGp
   ”Hey, I’d have a lot more fun if you weren’t dragging me around, screwing with my magic.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt4oVHXNwG
   ”And I would be too if Earth wasn’t so boring.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HAw59SIjC
   ”Eh, Earth can be pretty great.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorIrea5XR5
   ”How so?” She practically groaned. “I mean, you can’t even say magic without someone saying ‘devil!’”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnNEN8MSv5
   He paused. “True, for most parts. That’s why you don’t get caught.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKwaU21Efe
   ”I prefer my world.” She pressed one of her feet to the ground, nearly jumping as a stone pressed into her foot. 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjbS9H556F
   He smirked at that. “Then why’re you here?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdu5QOyoH6
   ”Need to get to a port home,” she said.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJHRzCfy3Y
   ”You can’t just get back yourself?” 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcLp42ecbK
   She shood her head and sighed. “Not exactly my forte.” 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh7IpsVN2P
   ”Sucks for you.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCHM9eTRS4
   She snickered. “You too, because you’re stuck with us ‘till we do.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy8jmfluIt
   ”Then what? Gonna drag me along there too?” He glared.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVsvLBRBgG
   ”A possibility, we might.” She turned around, starting to walk again.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQu82DRprs
   ”Oh, fantastic,” he grumbled.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6owZKNbaT

   Far later in the afternoon, after an extreme amount of boredom (they seriously don’t know how to enjoy themselves? Losers), Neoma walked into the dress shop, looking around for the French woman. She waited, then banged her hand on the table again.1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCmKjOZvXW
   Luna walked over to the door and knocked, causing it to swing open. Cináed flinched a bit when the dresses were practically thrown into their faces, and the shopkeeper opened her hand and held it out. 1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDQzi8mbBb
Neoma shoved the bag on money into her hands, then nodded to the door. “Come on.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yVqkXo1kQ
They headed out, stopping in front of it. Neoma shut the door behind them. “So we have about two hours to get out of here, because about half of those are shadow-made and will dissolve back.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFSG0RqcuR
   He grinned. “Sneaky. She’s not going to be happy, huh?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0MmJvfPJR
   She smirked. “She deserves it, do you know how many times she poked us with pins?”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieNfxaTEkX
   ”She was almost as much of a bitch as you.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglD8EbaC1s
   ”Thank you, thank you~” She started walking on the path back to their motel. “Let’s get our horse and scram.”1055Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RIbvRV7oT
