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?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJZ4h9xjZO
   ”No, we’re almost there.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBjfJhAHV8
   ”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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCrEub81vT
     ”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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo0AgN5yRm
   ”So? Doesn’t need to,” he responded honestly. 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhT40dC4E
   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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd99fSXByIh

   After another few minutes, Neoma stopped in from of a store. “Here we are.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOtqsn6HL9
   ”Finally…” he grumbled. Luna dashed over to the door and walked in, giving a soft giggle. The other two followed, Cináed first, then Neoma.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcpX0evNXT
  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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPsQTSsumS
   ”It’s not exactly mine, either,” she noted, looking at Luna, who was already looking at them with sparkling eyes.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m7s6dZyqu
   ”Can we just hurry up?” he complained. “I hate this.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRypWaHJPF
   ”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. 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKVEUIZKRi
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoNRzwNP20
   She stopped to look up and gasped upon seeing his face. “Your eyes?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtfFPw8S5D
   ”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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rn8opetvJ
     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.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJHnBr16FL
   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. 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvEDY4S7Mx
     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?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVQVpD8VHS
   ”If we spend the day doing something, yeah, she needs time to actually make the dresses.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWPpOPMaa
   ”Fantastic.” 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHLjwBjEvO
   ”Let’s go, then.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCK9r6mVF
   As they walked, Luna looked over at him. “So what should we do!?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO4YDnWkId
   ”How should I know?” 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrKRLdwCNL
   ”I thought you’d have something in mind…” She pouted, looking off to the side.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ6gD6JgXq
   ”Why’s that?” Curiosity was starting to get the better of him now.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCROeOfgsrS
   ”I dont know? Neoma’s kinda forcing you around, so I thought you’d wanna do something?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyWLeXv0FA
   ”Kinda? What I WANT to do is get this damn ring off so I can go where I want,” he hissed.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgzDgv1Yxu
     She tilted her head. “I can’t control what Neoma does…”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCSRCKbmlA
   ”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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu6TOfWh94
   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…”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJYZc8wxZ
   He growled. “No shit. Better than having it burn through the skin.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Td24wYmuw
   ”Hm.” She paused. “Maybe when it’s loose enough you can slide it up?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38j70rAkkJ
   ”Maybe. Damn, this hurts.” Understatement of the year. He glared at the ring for a minute before dropping his hand.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY4YdbGi8G
     ”Sorry?” She was looking at the shops now, staring at some food ones. He just muttered a jumbled complaint under his breath.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmiN9XR2K2
   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.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbfkvA6DOa
   He paused, eyebrows going up.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLAJPCEd23
   ”Someone better have something to do, because this isn’t a thing to do.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsEzEfK134
   He shrugged. “Why don’t you?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioVFsCusBz
     ”I’m not exactly the description of fun ideas.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SemCS0b4J
   ”… Really? Never would’ve guessed.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UbzEJaRR0
   She grumbled lightly. “Like you should be commenting on that.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIsZfFjYIS
   ”Hey, I’d have a lot more fun if you weren’t dragging me around, screwing with my magic.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KK5N6C76L
   ”And I would be too if Earth wasn’t so boring.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWVEgToEqr
   ”Eh, Earth can be pretty great.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldsnDGFM96
   ”How so?” She practically groaned. “I mean, you can’t even say magic without someone saying ‘devil!’”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnkL7JW7Q0
   He paused. “True, for most parts. That’s why you don’t get caught.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Eyqqf3If
   ”I prefer my world.” She pressed one of her feet to the ground, nearly jumping as a stone pressed into her foot. 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUpvWzadea
   He smirked at that. “Then why’re you here?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnrupyXAcf
   ”Need to get to a port home,” she said.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERqnomTrVs
   ”You can’t just get back yourself?” 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhStgyAgGn
   She shood her head and sighed. “Not exactly my forte.” 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy3GGbdQtB
   ”Sucks for you.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTxijeFPpg
   She snickered. “You too, because you’re stuck with us ‘till we do.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8lwmvG1nB
   ”Then what? Gonna drag me along there too?” He glared.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eQA76sL3x
   ”A possibility, we might.” She turned around, starting to walk again.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9sDqGrSC0
   ”Oh, fantastic,” he grumbled.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGv9Uh1d63

   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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgYcqx9Y1U
   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. 824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5hiPVAqnE
Neoma shoved the bag on money into her hands, then nodded to the door. “Come on.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapjwVKM9nR
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.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXOWjwdTfV
   He grinned. “Sneaky. She’s not going to be happy, huh?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQSPTJ64rY
   She smirked. “She deserves it, do you know how many times she poked us with pins?”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtElBy3KGg0
   ”She was almost as much of a bitch as you.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DGml1d22Q
   ”Thank you, thank you~” She started walking on the path back to their motel. “Let’s get our horse and scram.”824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBmTeefTLM
