Jet looked up from his spot on the bed. Sleep made the back of his head heavy, and his bones ache with the drowsiness of another morning. Smellerbee frowned as she swung open the door. "Finally, you have been asleep long enough." Jet groaned. "A few more minutes." "You slept all day yesterday, now get up. Kilo made some amazing bread." She picked up a hat and left the room, slamming the door behind her. She must've still been mad about being left without notice.
He yawned as he sat up, slipping into his sandals. He walked from the guest room, the yawn still lingering in the air. He finally reached the kitchen, only to be greeted by silence. Jet gave Kilo a smile, but she merely turned away silently. He glanced at Smellerbee, but she seemed determined to stare at her bread. It was a golden brown, with some kind of green seasoning sprinkled on it. He gave a look to Longshot, who did not return the gaze.
He sat down, and Kilo sat down a plate of bread on the table. When he looked up to thank her, she was already on the other side of the room again. He frowned, quickly eating. When he finished, he said aloud, "I'm going to visit Jin." No reply came to him, so he left quickly. Instead of going straight to her house, he wandered into a small Market nearby.
Traveling Merchants who could not afford to stay at a Hotel in the Upper Ring, often slept in a small Inn within the Middle Ring. They set up their tents near the Inn in a small common area where they could sell there goods to the common people.
Jet looked at the stalls and tents, table and wagons filled with items they were willing to sell to the people. Jet wandered by a cart full of wheat and fish, and a table covered in furs. He saw a tents with racks within, shirts and pants hanging from them.
Before long, he pass an old woman sitting on a chair beside a small box. Jet looked at the woman puzzled. "What are you selling?" The woman looked up from the ring on her thumb. "I am selling jewelry. But I only give the jewels to those who truly desire it." Jet frowned. "What do you mean?" The woman grinned. "I can see, feel, and understand people's auras. I can tell whether they are buying it for themselves, or for someone they love."
"And who am I buying Jewelry for?" the woman smirked. "You are not buying any." He smiled. "Oh. Let me see what you have, and perhaps I will." The woman took a slow, deep breath. "No need to see it all. I can tell by your Aura you are looking for something to give to the woman you love. But also, you are not sure who it is you love. But, based on the piece of her Aura this woman has left on you, she will enjoy this bracelet more then any other piece I have to offer."
Jet frowned. "How much will this cost me?" The woman paused, as though examining his aura. "Nothing. I'm giving it to you for free. The combination of your aura's intrigues me. That is payment enough." He smiled, before it faded away. "What do you mean 'combination?' Is there something wrong with me?" She shook her head. "No; it just means you have more then just one signifigant woman in your life, and that you are confused."
He nodded. "Can you tell which woman I love?" The woman nodded. "The one with the white aura." "What other 'pieces' do I have in me?" She paused slightly. "There is a piece of white, but also some light pink and an almost green type of blue. But your aura, not the pieces, but your own aura, is red." "What does that mean?" He asked, not sure if he wanted to answer. "You are passionate, and a fury fuels your fire." He closed his eyes, but when he opened them back up, the woman was gone.
In her place lay a silver bracelet with shiny jewels laid within it. He seen words engraved in it, but could not read it; he was illiterate.
He took a deep breath; that was alot to take in. He dropped the bracelet into his pocket, and stood there for a moment longer before walking off towards Jin's house. Maybe hanging out with her for a few hours would let him know if she was the one who deserved the bracelet.
Author's Note: He is probably even more confused now! Please Review.
