I apologize that is chapter is rather short, it has been a stressful week and next Friday I will be unable to update, so the next installment will be on Saturday and I will make it extra long to make up for being late. Also this chapter is all about Lovino and Rosetta because I want you readers to get to know them, they are actually very interesting characters and I enjoy writing about them and their friendship.
Anywho, enjoy!
Chapter 7
The adventure of Lovino and Rosetta
"I am thinking, red, no, green, no, blue, no, red! Ohhhh I cannot decide, Rosetta what do you think?" the loud, wining voice caused everyone in the market place to stop and look in the direction it was coming from.
"Green," Rosetta replied, in a quieter tone while she ran emerald green cloth over her hands. It almost matched the shade of the dress she was wearing.
Lovino shook her head. "You only say that because it is your favorite colour,"
"And if we went with your favorite colour the dress would be bright orange," the brunette rolled her eyes.
Seeming to not hear her Lovino continued. "Also he is always wearing green, the purpose is to hide his identity, not shout it out to everyone who sees him. Red, I will make it red," she nodded to herself. "It will work wonderfully with his blond hair,"
"You know," Rosetta looked over her shorter friends shoulder at the different shades of red that lay before them. "He is going to be a very tall woman,"
Lovino nodded again. "Yes, I am well aware. We will have to give him flat shoes, but you are also a very tall woman, and your mother even taller. And who knows perhaps Ezio has a thing for tall woman,"
"I think he has a thing for women in general," the brunette joked, causing the other to let out a burst of high pitched laughter.
"So true, so true," Lovino smiled and pulled out her money from one of the bags around her waist that where now hidden under the gray cloak she had dawned dew to the chilly weather. "Excuse me," she called to the tailor who was selling the fabric. "I need a piece of this fabric that is as five times as long as I am tall,"
"Right away Madame,"
The tailor measured and cut the fabric, then he folded the large amount of cloth and tied it with a string. Lovino handed over the large sum of money with a smile, glad that her father's business allowed for an almost unlimited amount of sums.
As the two walked back to Leonardo's workshop Lovino stopped on one of the bridges and leaned over the side of it.
Taking a moment to realize that the shorter woman was no longer by her side, Rosetta rushed back to her. "Lovino, what are you doing?"
"Watching the water,"
Rosetta sighed and joined her. "I thought you where afraid of it,"
The blond nodded. "I am,"
The two watched the water for a time. The clouds above them shifted becoming dark and gray. Rain was imminent.
"We should go," Rosetta looked up.
"Have you ever played pooh sticks?" asked Lovino.
"What?" her friend turned her head with a look of bewilderment.
"It is a game where you take a stick, drop it in the water and then run to the other side of the bride before you can see it again," Lovino kept her dark eyes trained on the water below.
"No," Rosetta shook her head, still confused as to what Lovino was talking about.
"Oh,"
"Come on," the taller of the two pulled on her friends arm. "I do not want to get stuck in the rain cause you have gotten lost on the road of life,"
Lovino laughed, but pulled her arm away as they began walking. "Yes, sorry,"
