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?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSDZpK3Lx8
   ”No, we’re almost there.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1irubD54mm
   ”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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsiZjpf6Jw
     ”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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IjEPVzqz0
   ”So? Doesn’t need to,” he responded honestly. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOgNKGYWSm
   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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrnBXArCR3

   After another few minutes, Neoma stopped in from of a store. “Here we are.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg4Q0WZBKO
   ”Finally…” he grumbled. Luna dashed over to the door and walked in, giving a soft giggle. The other two followed, Cináed first, then Neoma.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPBhmqo66m
  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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhs9V9xh26
   ”It’s not exactly mine, either,” she noted, looking at Luna, who was already looking at them with sparkling eyes.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN9S2a4E9L
   ”Can we just hurry up?” he complained. “I hate this.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskf1z17TXk
   ”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. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3d0DIpfEg
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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJPRGIRYk
   She stopped to look up and gasped upon seeing his face. “Your eyes?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm9fZeZVgu
   ”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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq3YO5MvN1
     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.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBWSsu5J4d
   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. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeiqOdwyQF
     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?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXEAWjDZgn
   ”If we spend the day doing something, yeah, she needs time to actually make the dresses.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJYfffoFpv
   ”Fantastic.” 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQupzAsHmd0
   ”Let’s go, then.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAhaTUX9RK
   As they walked, Luna looked over at him. “So what should we do!?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmaVvKaMm8
   ”How should I know?” 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIM0zrnDVq
   ”I thought you’d have something in mind…” She pouted, looking off to the side.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5cMkYmblT
   ”Why’s that?” Curiosity was starting to get the better of him now.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRtQos2oF
   ”I dont know? Neoma’s kinda forcing you around, so I thought you’d wanna do something?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe4FOgybq7
   ”Kinda? What I WANT to do is get this damn ring off so I can go where I want,” he hissed.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCfy5FWX4z
     She tilted her head. “I can’t control what Neoma does…”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKSkOqkaUQ
   ”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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCZRNCOTiY
   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…”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVoS6Ic2pR
   He growled. “No shit. Better than having it burn through the skin.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiVhOYxbFG
   ”Hm.” She paused. “Maybe when it’s loose enough you can slide it up?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiJ09U3mzM
   ”Maybe. Damn, this hurts.” Understatement of the year. He glared at the ring for a minute before dropping his hand.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ef62Wk9nn
     ”Sorry?” She was looking at the shops now, staring at some food ones. He just muttered a jumbled complaint under his breath.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ182QfJqH4D
   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.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHH9AMsKAS
   He paused, eyebrows going up.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dNz0caTGi
   ”Someone better have something to do, because this isn’t a thing to do.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbV8kUddaO
   He shrugged. “Why don’t you?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb1MQTkh4k
     ”I’m not exactly the description of fun ideas.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1N8OxwK4T
   ”… Really? Never would’ve guessed.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5lMlqyR5i
   She grumbled lightly. “Like you should be commenting on that.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm12g9LdBm
   ”Hey, I’d have a lot more fun if you weren’t dragging me around, screwing with my magic.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4nEPPxG33
   ”And I would be too if Earth wasn’t so boring.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdivUZ92Zr1
   ”Eh, Earth can be pretty great.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aRUxipxQe
   ”How so?” She practically groaned. “I mean, you can’t even say magic without someone saying ‘devil!’”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTBiLDMENZ
   He paused. “True, for most parts. That’s why you don’t get caught.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSaLuel4M
   ”I prefer my world.” She pressed one of her feet to the ground, nearly jumping as a stone pressed into her foot. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZm4t9fun4
   He smirked at that. “Then why’re you here?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ru4ozcYk7
   ”Need to get to a port home,” she said.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZ9lnTPFL
   ”You can’t just get back yourself?” 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMcirYq5Q3
   She shood her head and sighed. “Not exactly my forte.” 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO2Fwg69HN
   ”Sucks for you.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SDiu8YGsV
   She snickered. “You too, because you’re stuck with us ‘till we do.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4VBHX2bPK
   ”Then what? Gonna drag me along there too?” He glared.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKu518CJEu
   ”A possibility, we might.” She turned around, starting to walk again.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY1L5OAe5B
   ”Oh, fantastic,” he grumbled.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWvDStt4mj

   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.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTEIkAQcxW
   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. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGweRaR6n8
Neoma shoved the bag on money into her hands, then nodded to the door. “Come on.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51DK9z3dAf
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.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BxlwYcEsg
   He grinned. “Sneaky. She’s not going to be happy, huh?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDQsSXLHNg
   She smirked. “She deserves it, do you know how many times she poked us with pins?”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOH5pMwo5S
   ”She was almost as much of a bitch as you.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB98uETRAjZ
   ”Thank you, thank you~” She started walking on the path back to their motel. “Let’s get our horse and scram.”828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHSXr7D8Gb
