The Market
Alanna walked though the market. There was a fair bit being sold there, but not as much as some other places, which was strange since it was the capital of the realm (Is that right?).
There were some nice belts and brushes, and quite a few well made daggers – not that she was allowed to buy them, but of course that didn't stop her from looking.
It was a pity Thom couldn't come, but apparently, he had a bit too much work to catch up on.
"Can I ye lass?" A man in his thirties asked. He looked an awfully cheerful person, which made Alanna suspect him at bit. How someone could be happy on a day like this was beyond her. Even though the sun was shinning, and there was not a cloud in the sky, it was still a pretty bad day.
"No thankyou," she responded with more cheerfulness than what she felt.
"Not happy today are we?" The man asked going by her faked tone.
"And what would ever make you think that?" She replied sarcastically.
"Just wonderin'," he said.
She stared at him for a bit with her eyebrows raised and the shook her head and walked off. He was quite handsome, she thought, for a manly brute of course.
Urgh! What was she thinking?! She sounded like one of those stuck up ladies!
"Ouch! You clumsy idiot!" she shouted as a man stepped on her foot. "Watch where you're going!"
"Sorry m'lady," the small podgy man muttered and waddled off.
What is wrong with this stupid place?! Argh!
"Your sure you don't need any help miss?" the man she saw earlier asked.
"I'm fine!" she snapped.
"You don't seem it."
"And what's it to you? Huh? Like you should care!"
"But I do lass."
"Why?!"
"Because my gift tell me that you are a nice person, even though you have a temper, and you look and sound like you're in a bit of trouble," he said a-matter-o-factly.
By this time Alanna was fuming. How dare he?!
"Well my gift says whatever your gift doesn't matter because it is inferior and that it should keep it's opinion to itself!"
"And what do you say?"
"I say, let me be, and I'm going back to the Palace away from annoying little creeps!"
"I'm twice as big as you lass."
"Urgh!" Alanna screamed making everyone look at her and stormed back to the palace.
Men! Can live with them, and she certainly could live without them!
