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?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh7QbiAf1e
   ”No, we’re almost there.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4hXuRsyhK
   ”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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6smJxYaDpE
     ”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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbYcRnMjP1
   ”So? Doesn’t need to,” he responded honestly. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevWXBNWEti
   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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjjuKvYH6p
1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocGCEdHHNI
   After another few minutes, Neoma stopped in from of a store. “Here we are.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKurfzDURgv
   ”Finally…” he grumbled. Luna dashed over to the door and walked in, giving a soft giggle. The other two followed, Cináed first, then Neoma.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSkHCnrsCY
  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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH9J563NnR
   ”It’s not exactly mine, either,” she noted, looking at Luna, who was already looking at them with sparkling eyes.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYaQCNN2FR
   ”Can we just hurry up?” he complained. “I hate this.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTDAaXJ1Pi
   ”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. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSa8naCJEh
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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJWd0RZ7Fb
   She stopped to look up and gasped upon seeing his face. “Your eyes?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLWJn55dpq
   ”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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dKdgvIPJK
     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.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGK4j5jYFN
   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. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfxRdIBpej
     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?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO7nFCu4s3
   ”If we spend the day doing something, yeah, she needs time to actually make the dresses.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLwePAzHFC
   ”Fantastic.” 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8hoBldIgr
   ”Let’s go, then.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwYu2Ojjm3
   As they walked, Luna looked over at him. “So what should we do!?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbARdQSSXS
   ”How should I know?” 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmeqC0YhLu
   ”I thought you’d have something in mind…” She pouted, looking off to the side.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrWZW9GZ6R
   ”Why’s that?” Curiosity was starting to get the better of him now.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcGBD41o1b
   ”I dont know? Neoma’s kinda forcing you around, so I thought you’d wanna do something?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ7xyJI2Wu
   ”Kinda? What I WANT to do is get this damn ring off so I can go where I want,” he hissed.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmToiQJXNS9
     She tilted her head. “I can’t control what Neoma does…”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8nu2HRi2X
   ”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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FkDAb89J
   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…”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdlZNMrAC1
   He growled. “No shit. Better than having it burn through the skin.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLWlCJ5cig
   ”Hm.” She paused. “Maybe when it’s loose enough you can slide it up?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyALM17ySb0
   ”Maybe. Damn, this hurts.” Understatement of the year. He glared at the ring for a minute before dropping his hand.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGK77cSmXo
     ”Sorry?” She was looking at the shops now, staring at some food ones. He just muttered a jumbled complaint under his breath.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYnMfDOOxL
   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.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yS3kbe8bq
   He paused, eyebrows going up.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRMiI12zc8
   ”Someone better have something to do, because this isn’t a thing to do.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYvpfTbqSO
   He shrugged. “Why don’t you?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLA5k6ncbM
     ”I’m not exactly the description of fun ideas.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6sYTZOvGe
   ”… Really? Never would’ve guessed.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kwhFSGc1b
   She grumbled lightly. “Like you should be commenting on that.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRdQO0lpOV
   ”Hey, I’d have a lot more fun if you weren’t dragging me around, screwing with my magic.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQpMrravrU
   ”And I would be too if Earth wasn’t so boring.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwUjesIO2y
   ”Eh, Earth can be pretty great.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgf7nsPJCC
   ”How so?” She practically groaned. “I mean, you can’t even say magic without someone saying ‘devil!’”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFNLfMO68B
   He paused. “True, for most parts. That’s why you don’t get caught.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQuYaQvPHk
   ”I prefer my world.” She pressed one of her feet to the ground, nearly jumping as a stone pressed into her foot. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3d6xHpMGY
   He smirked at that. “Then why’re you here?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUjfYB85DD
   ”Need to get to a port home,” she said.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvzzRid3bJ
   ”You can’t just get back yourself?” 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipvgxOl3G1
   She shood her head and sighed. “Not exactly my forte.” 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQTFQPC168
   ”Sucks for you.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VREjEd9gm
   She snickered. “You too, because you’re stuck with us ‘till we do.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmTbNjTut9
   ”Then what? Gonna drag me along there too?” He glared.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71cjOtH8DP
   ”A possibility, we might.” She turned around, starting to walk again.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bD4hW2OD5
   ”Oh, fantastic,” he grumbled.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ks14KDAL5

   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.1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTXUCHfytH
   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. 1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhsfCqrrpU
Neoma shoved the bag on money into her hands, then nodded to the door. “Come on.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WwPtgivwi
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.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYuStLuipu
   He grinned. “Sneaky. She’s not going to be happy, huh?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWazA0kumZK
   She smirked. “She deserves it, do you know how many times she poked us with pins?”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P7qQL4hfo
   ”She was almost as much of a bitch as you.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt26LFXC3Q2
   ”Thank you, thank you~” She started walking on the path back to their motel. “Let’s get our horse and scram.”1049Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U4HzDHEet
