Once they had gotten to the market, they had started looking around. Jester had wanted to get kitchen utensils for Pepper, but Jane had not let him. In the end Jester had settled on hairpins. "I think Pepper would facy them, for they match the tiny white flowers on her hair," he had said.
Jane looked at him in confusion."You noticed the flowers?"
Jester blushed a bit."Yes...Well...Um...Rake said they were called Lotus, I think"
"I have the perfect idea of a gift for Pepper," Jane declared grandly, and took Jester's hand. She lead him to a small stall. They were then gretted by a young woman selling items for small children.
"Jane, Pepper is turning six-teen, not one." Jester said. She ignored him.
'' Alanna, good morning. I come to pick up the blanket I had asked for. I have the money." She told the her.
"Oh, yes, I remember you. You seem much brighter today than you did a week ago," responded Alanna. She handed Jne the green blanket while Jane handed her the money. They echanged their farewells and Jane turned to look at the jester. She smiled at him.

They were now at the castle where they had surprised Pepper, who, had it not been for them, forgotten her own birthdate. Rake had been the first to give her gift to her. It was verbena, a cluster of small flowers, wich she has spread about the kitchen. Smithu had given her a small, well-polished, ring. Jester had handed her the hair pins, and she had thanked him for remembering. Jane had finaly handed her the blanket, whan she said hat it was one of the best gifts she had ever recived. Pepper had promised to give it to her first born, which she had expected to be born, for she was with a child.

Sorry if they had been getting boring, and for the spelling mistakes, but I promise as much as posible or the next chapter. Everything will begin more intensly than before, and I shall bring you into the hidden world of gifts wich Gunther has been living in. Alec and bane will be appearing more often.
Also, I have been a bit distracted about an idea that had occured to me about the children of Jane and Jester, Pepper and Rake, Smithy and Irnai (my character) , Gunther and (You will not know until the end). JxJ have two girls and one boy, PxR have three girls and two boys, SxI have three boys and one girl, Gx? have one boy and one girl. If you want to do this story yourself, be my guest, but after a month I shall begin this also if I ever succed in finishing 'Like a Goddess'.
Oh, my, I have written alot more than I had intended...Farewell...
