Blossom's POV

My heart is pounding so fast. He's really cute and Beast was really pretty. Brick was wearing a rich silk long sleeve tunic, a red velvet vest that was buttoned by three large golden buttons, black leather pants and long black hunting boots and a black hat with a large red feather on it.

Beast wore a looser light purple tunic, black silver belt, black pants and boots but he wore a dark purple cloak. He looked like he could be a Fauna, an animal person...an Elfin in a way. I couldn't help but stare at his claws and fangs, not to mention his wild spiky hair...I can't tell how long it is...because of the cloak... he saw me and blushed.

"I'm sorry, I've just never seen a Fauna before." I smiled and nudge Kasey as she was staring as well.

"Of course, it is very much ok. People look at me a lot...it is a little embarrassing though." He blushed brighter.

"Well I think you look cute." Kasey smiled and hugged his leg and then she patted this ghost wolf, "And so do you."

"So...uh...are you an elfin too?" I asked him boldly, I corrected myself as he looked at me, "Its just...your hair."

"No...just a noble...I got it from my Mom. She was from the Turkistein."

"Oh yes." I felt kind of stupid for asking. I mean those rich clothes says it all, he even had this bright golden circular necklace with a design of a wolf howling at a bright sparkle ruby, "But thank you so much, "I like you...wolf-"

"Look...just buy your shit and get this over with." He snapped. I had already brought a new basket, it was much larger.

I was taken back a little, I just huffed and crossed my arms. I walked away with Kasey by my side...maybe I was wrong...maybe he's just a jerk. I was standing in front of the fruits and vegatable stall.

"Kasey, we got a little extra, let's get more fruit." I huffed again.

"Do not listen to Eldest Brother, he snaps when he is impatient and it is even worse when he is nervous." Beast whispered to me, "I believe you are the source."

I look at Brick as he talking to the blacksmith. I couldn't help but smile a little, I made him nervous. Maybe...*gasp* he's one of those rough shy type like Papa can be.

I brought the potatoes, pears, apples, ginger, a bag of rye grain and pouch of pepper and Salt. Pepper is such a luxury, I gasped as I looked at how many silver crowns were left...I barely maybe a dent, it was about 30 or 40 possibly.

"I said one silver crown." I was haggling the stall owner.

"Well you just pay." Brick snapped again.

"Eldest Brother, shhhh...I must learn. Did you not see, she got all this food for only two silver crowns and it's worth ten copper crowns." I heard Beast said.

"Eight Copper crowns for cheese is ridiculous. Now then, either one silver crown or it's nothing at all." I nodded, crossing my arms, holding it up in his face, watching his eyes gleam.

"But...but...that's too low." The Stall owner whined.

"Considering that this is a small chunk and I'm giving you one silver crown is a blessing, one Silver crown and that's my final offer." I held my head up. The stall owner sighed in defeat and held him hand up and I hand him the money.

"Such skill." Beast looked at me with stars in his eyes. I bowed at his praise but Brick had his arms crossed. He walked up to me and brushed some of my hair out of my face.

"That hair really gets in the way huh? Cherry?" He asked with a head tilt and then just walked away. Beast was munching on a large turkey leg and Kasey was drinking some water from a cup.

I hate how one touch from him makes my stomach flip...Is this what love is? Its different from Randy...or...

"I just need to talk to the Butcher, we need meat-"

"And then Candy...and cake?" Kasey jumped up and down.

"Candy? Cake?" Beast asked. Brick was still looking around but he came walking in front of me.

"Yes...I promise Kasey we could get something sweet. She's never had anything sweet." I swallowed hard, I looked at Brick, "Is it ok? That I buy my sister something sweet?" I let Kasey give her the puppy dog look to him, he just looked away with this strange color on his face.

"Is he blushing?"

He growled, "You are stupid aren't you? The money is yours." Kasey cheered and hugged him, he just shooed her away, "Get off of me, just hurry up." He just kept looking away.

I hit him on his shoulder, I had enough of this rushing, "Ya know, I know I'm a burden to you, but I can't rush this. Buying the wrong kind of stuff could really put my family in a bind later on. Not having enough wool could make my family sick, not buying the right food could make it impossible to eat. If I buy fish, but I can't cook fish or it doesn't work in a stew, that could go wrong for us. I know you probably live in a big manor and don't have to worry about that stuff, but I do." I stomped at him and then walked away.

I mean, really...it can't be that much of a pain to be here with me...what am I saying...what am I thinking? I don't know nothing about these guys...but...but he's just so cute...and frustrating.

I sighed again as I was at the Butchers, that mean wife was staring at me again, "I'm sorry...but I don't serve your kind here."

"Look, we just need a few birds, please." I begged, "Look, I have silver crowns."

The Butcher gasped but the wife wasn't budging, she huffed, "Obviously from your new 'master', how much is it for an Elfin Whore these days?"

I swallowed hard, it wasn't her words that bothered me...much...but...this was the only butcher in the village.

"Please, I'll buy double. Chicken...Quail...Beef, anything? My Papa needs this meat." I continue to beg.

"No sales to you Elfin-"

Brick slammed his hand on the counter, "You will provide service or I'll come back with my men and tear this place down."

"My Lord?" The Butcher looked at his wife, pushing her aside, "Of course, Of course dear. Two..two birds for a price of a cooper, yes...yes..."

"I have a silver crown, could I please get a Turkey too."

"Yes...yes...How about two turkeys and two chickens huh?" The butcher laughed nervously.

"That'll do and a pheasant, as a gift for your wife wasting our time." Brick glared at them.

"No...no.."I cried out but I was handed a juicy plump pheasant already defeathered. It was placed in my basket, this was more than enough meat.

I was about to walk away but I looked up at Brick. He had this strange look in his eyes, he was biting his finger and just staring at the...I think it was at the Butcher who was hacking from a bird's head.

"Hehehe." It sounded like...he was laughing.

"Are you ok? Sir Brick?" I waved my hand in front of his face.

"Eldest Brother." Beast said calmly. Brick hard blinked and put his hand over his eyes for a second, "Oh...he is a little tired I believe."

"I didn't like you threatening them like that...but...Thank you so much...for standing up for me...once again." I smiled at him.

"I..I..." He just puffed his cheeks and looked away.

"Eldest Brother is being quite shy." Beast chuckled.

"Well then...let's get something sweet." I cheered and Kasey cheered with me, "I promise My Lords. I will be done and not a burden to you."

"You're not a burden." He said, he had a half smile on his face, there was a pause between us and his eyes widened as he looked around at us, he covered his mouth, "Did I just said that outloud."
