Ribbon:

Shion was helping Sanji with the shopping, as he was bartering for some meat at one of the stalls she amused herself with the browsing another stall across the way. In the small stall of random things she found a stunning ribbon of pale blue with small silver flowers on it. She fingered the fabric, trying to remember the last time she'd ever worn something so...girly. Too long ago.

"That would look lovely on you." Sanji said from beside her.

Shion looked up at him. "Maybe but where would I wear it?" she asked fingering her short locks.

"Then grow your hair out." Sanji suggested, not missing the look in her eyes as she fingered the fine piece of fabric. The look of a girl who once had long hair and missed it. "No reason not to anymore."

"That's going to take forever." Shion picked up her share of the bags. "Anything else we're looking for?"

"I think this is it."

"Then let's grab something cool that we can take back with us and head back."

Sanji watched her walk off. Before she could notice he wasn't with her he grabbed the ribbon and pocketed it, paying the vendor with a smile as the old man winked at him.

He just got it tucked out of sight when she turned, his long legs saw to it he caught up very quickly. "What's up?" she asked when he joined her.

"oh nothing.." He replied, it was harder to keep the grin off his face then he thought. But he managed.
