 K Y O S U K E ❤ S A K A M U R A ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ ❝..The man to reform Society..❞ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ The reaction on her face was a bit more than he expected from the tone she had usually, though he kept his eyes on her for a bit before looking to the cloth in his hands. His eyes would blink a bit as he watched each thread go back to one another and begin to pull forth and create the renewed fabric as his mouth would show slight awe. His hands held the renewed piece as the people behind him whispered and muttered while the young man let out a slight chuckle. His hands would let it down before her before he pulled his wallet from his pocket. "I was proven wrong, and for that, I'll purchase this fine piece." He'd say to her while tracing back to her eyes before letting the smile curve back onto his lips. "Would mind telling the price of this. I believe I have enough for it." He'd tell her while he began to sort through different bills and coins within the small leather. Kyosuke's mind a bit boggled at how it happened though he felt in all good faith that it was going to be something he would need at some point in time. "As well, would you care to tell me a bit more about. . .Yourself and your craft."

Then he approved of the work. She was glad to hear this, and the surprise of those watching was familiar also. Every now and again, there would be someone skeptical of what she claimed, and the article in question would be tested. As her skill grew, so did the power in the articles she could weave.
The price of a self-mending silk scarf was.... ah, yes. "I charge 3800 yen, or 35 dollars, for this kind of artificed scarf."
She carefully folded the scarf again and set it on the table before him, where he could pick it up again at his leisure. What could she tell him about her work and herself? In her mind, she felt that there wasn't much to tell. She lived a simple life. She created and sold so she could purchase what she needed and couldn't find on her own. Simple, humble, and nothing particularly worthy of note. She traveled only as much as she needed to and she was no warrior. She considered herself lucky to have some skill in magic.
"I am nothing particularly special, save for my creative skills," she assured him and those that might have been listening, but she saw that most of them turned their attention to the other goods, which were by small signs that described the articles on display.
"I live in the mountains not far from here where I refine my craft. When I have enough to sell, I bring my wares here or to another of the larger cities. I craft my silks at home, and weave them carefully so that they look their best and will last for a very long time. As you've seen, some of the silks I weave spells into. Silk is wonderfully able to retain the energy and magic of spells and grant the effects to their wearer. It has taken me many, many thousand tries to perfect this work. I am glad to see they are approved of."
She paused and studied his face a moment. His tone was kind, and he seemed attentive. Perhaps, then, it was his personality that allowed him to be so. Perhaps it was as simple as that. "Is there something in particular you would like to know?"
Come along now and take my hand
I'll lead you to a promised land
The morning after it may never come again
Never be the same.

Carter Kuromizu18 | Female | Half-ElfNemesis~Alice Nine====================================== Carter looked up at her. "No. And I'm not mad at you. The sidewalk just isn't much fun. Too bad the roofs don't have fire escapes around here."Carter kept walking. As she listened to the sounds of the city around her, the people walking and talking within the hustle and bustle of the city. Carter focused on the sound of the city and calmed down some. She looked around at the merchants and their wares. She knew how much money they had and this wasn't the time to be tempted by impulse buys. She reached into her quiver and pulled out some jerky. Then, she remembered that she might be able to sell the jerky to a merchant around here. "Hey. I totally forgot. My jerky is high-quality stuff. We might be able to sell some. Get a little more money."========================================= (OOC: )

Carter Kuromizu18 | Female | Half-ElfNemesis~Alice Nine====================================== Carter snorted and took another bite of her jerky. "Hah. No. It's my venison jerky and I doubt anyone can stomach it anyways."Carter put the rest back into her quiver and continued walking with Niraya. "This is hard... How do we find other mage/knight pairs? Ugh..."She put her hands on her head and grumbled. "I'm ready for something to change!"========================================= (OOC: )

Carter Kuromizu18 | Female | Half-ElfNemesis~Alice Nine====================================== Carter sighed. She put her hands down and kept walking. "Forget it.. Let's try and find a way to actually find other teams like us. Walking around is fun and all but if we aren't really finding anyone then it really isn't helpful."========================================= (OOC: )

As she patiently waited and listened, she felt and heard the barest of conversations pass outside of the space she set up her stand. Though it was surrounded, and sheltered somewhat by silken walls, it did not perfectly block sound, and the roof was still exposed to the open air, to make use of the sun and the warmth of the day.
So, she was aware of people passing, but she could not entirely pick up the details of the conversation. It was probably for the best, she thought as she redirected her attention to the present and to the conversation she was having with the man kind enough to purchase her scarf. Others were beginning to purchase some of the remaining items that were on the table, whether they were self-mending or unenchanted and dyed their various colors. Perhaps she could one day invest in more than the red, blue, or green.
Yes, perhaps. Weaving them with colors might take a fair bit of practice, in any case. "Thank you for your patronage, sir."
Come along now and take my hand
I'll lead you to a promised land
The morning after it may never come again
Never be the same.

Carter Kuromizu18 | Female | Half-ElfNemesis~Alice Nine====================================== Carter shrugged. She went around a corner. "Maybe we should ask for directions." She took Niraya's hand and helped lead her towards the main streets. She led the way with Niraya in tow. Carter looked around before walking over to a stand. Carter had a strange feeling about her but she wasn't sure about it. She stopped at the stall of a woman. Carter nodded to her. "Pardon... I was wondering if you could help us."========================================= (OOC: )

From the group approached two, who made themselves more specifically known when they began to speak. Quela's eyes turned to the two, and she saw that one of them had visibly pointed ears atop their head while the other seemed a little more human. They seemed to be traveling together, if they both were asking for help at this time. Though, she found herself a little surprised that they decided to stop at a temporary stand where silks were being sold on the street.
"Whether I can help depends on what is needed," Quela said, hesitant to say yes if she wasn't sure what kind of help was needed. Their tones suggested a sincere intent, but there were those who yet walked the planet who could convince a leopard to change its spots or hide them from view. "What do you need help with?"

Carter Kuromizu18 | Female | Half-ElfNemesis~Alice Nine====================================== Carter rubbed her left hand against her own right elbow. She seemed lost and confused. She was good at using ruses like this but using it to ask for help was new. "I was hoping you could help us... We're a Knight and Mage pair and, well... We kinda wanted to try and find a stronger pairing to... Y'know... teach us...?" She shifted her feet and tilted her head like a lost child. "Maybe you could help?"========================================= (OOC: )
