The trip from the castle to the main streets of the city was a bit of a walk. The rough terrain of the mountain would immobilize any who were not accustomed to constant movement. Though it felt more like a short cruz for the royal beast of the kingdom. The weather was the usual cold and chilly. Although snow wasn't as common as many thought, the frost surrounding small edges of buildings and the roof tops of stores would contradict this statement. With pack still around his neck, Dyhren proudly walked through the busy streets. Citizens who saw the mighty beast would either smile, bow in his direction, or try to make themselves as small as they could without being seen. Either way, the panther merely gave a nod and continued forward.
The destination was to the market. A location where his two - eh three - guest needed to be. Though he made no motion to be at the front of the pack, Dyhren wasn't to keen on being seen as a lesser being. Striding in between the male and female was enough. Further his paws took him and soon, when the bustle of the city grew, the wide view of the market was in their sights. Though the town center was a fork to many roads, many psychics pulled their stands for profit. Now that his guidance to this place was over, Dyhren then moved to follow in the direction of the other two. His interest in their need, for the time, was kept to a minimal.
Ovixus hadn't minded the partially long walk to the main streets, as he both enjoyed the view of everything around him as well as the freedom of being outside in nature. The realm outside of the restricting halls and cities were something he never seemed to stop craving. It was what he loved, and he did his best when out in the open. It also reminded him of his days during the civil war in Obsidia. Soon, his gaze fixated on the peculiar greetings that the group seemed to receive, though they were clearly directed to the panther that guided them. He was surprised that the creature received more stares than he did, but that didn't bother him too much.
Ovixus glanced about the market in hopes of spotting a sort of clothes or cloaks salesmen, or a tailor's shop somewhere, frowning as he did so. "Cobalt Briar's... something..." He muttered.

Traveling through the crowd and trying not to lose Ovixus, n** was overwhelmed by the sights, smells and sounds of the marketplace. She's never seen anything like it before and it was exciting and interesting to her. She held onto Puck closely with one hand and held her bag close with the other. n** wasn't too sure whether or not there would be pickpockets. Puck's tail wagged with excitement and anxiety, his attention focused on everything around him. He felt safer out of the big cat's reach and in n**'s arms, though.

Trotting down the market path many different scents were catching the creatures notice. Although the rough terrain caused farming their share of troubles, it always amazed the beast to how resourceful the citizens could be with their spices. Sensing wonder in the two beside himself, Dyhren was feeling a bit proud to be able to show off his home to others. Although perhaps the male had only one thing on his mind.
"Mister Dyhen!" Just then, a high pitch voice resonated in the creatures ears. Turning to the noise's direction, the panther could see a child of about 6 years in age running towards him. Upon seeing the child, the panther instantly recognized the small figure from his memories. A young boy whom he would often play with along with the other children of the city. Crouching ever so slightly to reach the boy's level, he made no movement as the child then rushed to hug his mussel. An adorable giggle coming from his chest."Did you come to play again? You did didn't you?" The young boy was bouncing up and down as he still had both his hands on Dyhren's mussel. With the inability to speech freely, the panther merely snuggled up to the child's check for a moment to give him some room to move. The boy didn't seem too bothered by the fact that he hadn't received an answer.
Finally noticing the other two people with the beast, the boy's gaze went from Ovixus to N** and back again. Seemingly though he was intimidated by the two foreign people and stood even closer to the panther."There you are. I've been looking for you." As if to save the child, a woman of middle age came into the conversation. It looked to be the child's mother. As soon as she spotted the boy, a smile crossed her face to see that he was save in a familiar's presence."Ah Sir Dyhren, it's good to see you." The woman then took noticed just as the child did of the two standing close. Her smile did not waver. However, there was a mysterious sheen to her eyes before she began her greetings."Why hello. It's nice to see new faces. Especially those of travelers. What brings you to our town? Looking for supplies no doubt." A joyful atmosphere surrounded the woman as she spoke. However, nothing but scared curiosity was coming from the child by Dyhren's paws.

Ovixus hadn't really bothered to take in the architecture of the unique landscape, or the clothes that the people wore. He was too focused on his quest to bother with anything unnecessary, but he did make a mental note of the style in which many of the citizens of the county used, just in case he encountered more of the Psychics later in the future.
With a long sigh, Ovixus glanced over to the direction of the rather sharp voice that echoed in their direction. It was a child, perhaps no older than five or six, who suddenly approached the panther and embraced it. Confused, and amused, Ovixus folded his arms and stared at the child curiously, before his gaze was moved to the presumed mother of the child who began to ask them questions, even if she was subtly weary of their presence.
"I am searching for someone. The rest isn't something you need to know. But yes, I plan to purchase some materials here in your marketplace. An old woman who tended to my companion here," he'd gesture to n**, "said that we should purchase a common cold-resistant item here. Cobalt briar... Well, the name escapes me, but I'm certain you know of it."

Nipfroze at the sound of the child's voice. Slowly turning to face the child, who was hugging Dyhren and standing close to him, n**'s anxiety started setting in. It would be the first time that she had ever met a human child and she wasn't terribly happy about it. As soon as the child noticed n** and Ovixus, it looked a bit nervous, sidling closer to Dyhren and staring at them with wide eyes. n** didn't say a word, she just stared back and stepped to hide behind Ovixus. n** jumped a bit when a grown woman approached and greeted them, startling Puck a bit. She didn't say anything and instead, let Ovixus speak. He was much better at it than she was, anyway. She withdrew a bit more when Ovixus gestured to her, thus bringing more attention to her presence. As much as she didn't appreciate it, she realized that neither of them meant harm. Although, she wasn't going to greet them. She quickly his her hand, which was branded with the mark of the changeling and looked downward, hoping that she'd be ignored.

Coddling the child with a reassuring lick to the face, Dyhren did his best to bring back the child's smile. Being grateful that the mother asked a question that he couldn't the panther listened in. Hearing Ovixus speak about an elder who attended the female, his thoughts brought him to one person in particular. The mother, didn't take offense to the curt response. On the contrary, after giving a glance to the young girl the woman felt a bit sympathetic. The way she was hiding behind the large man was much like how her own child was hiding behind the beast. Hearing of the familiar fabric, the woman facade brightened.
"Ah! You must be speaking of hyacinthum argenteis. Indeed Cobalt Brier in simple terms. I may be able to help you. You see I am a local tailor and we were just heading back from a delivery." Gesturing over to her son, the boy seemed to have become a bit braver after seeing his mother converse rather calmly with the strangers. Doing his best to crawl on top of the panthers back, Dyhren lent him a hand and lowered his body. The boy once again giggling as he mounted the beast. Gripping the satchel for support."I'm sure I can whip up a couple of pieces for the two of you." Giving her best business smile, the woman waited for his response.
On the other hand, the boy patted Dyhren on the back and pointed to N**. Understanding what he wanted to do, the panther moved closer to the girl and turned so that the boy was in arms reach. Taking a breath, the child looked to the mirrormancer and presented her with a gentle smile. Trying to reassure her that she was ok and that there was nothing to worry about. Taking noticed of the creature in her posesiones, the boy happily pointed to it and spoke happily."Kitty!"

n** saw the boy pointing at her and retreated further behind Ovixus. Children were strange to her and this boy's odd fascination with her and her kitten was a bit unsettling. Puck the kitten glared at Dyrhen from his perch on n**'s shoulder. He didn't mind the child, but the panther was unwelcome in his presence after the earlier incident that messed up his fur and scared him half to death. From behind the dark knight, n** stared at the panther, the child and the woman. Two humans and a shapeshifter that she probably wasn't going to warm up to any time soon.

((Helious is sick, so I'm waiting for him to get better.))
Company: n**, Dyhren, Puck, Child, Tailor-Mother Stance:Way of Animus - See Profile. Thoughts:It appears as though the royal beast is quite friendly with the people... OOC: Still have a cough, but I'm better. Ish. Slowly re-integrating my daily RP dosage. Song:
Ovixus didn't really pay mind to n** when she moved somewhere behind him as he really saw it as perhaps a defensive move to prevent herself from feeling perhaps awkward. Focusing now on the woman who claimed she was a tailor, he furrowed his brow at the rather convenient outcome of having herr be the mother of the child who happened to coerce with the royal beast. Perhaps he could get off with paying nothing out of sheer association? He mused it, but decided against it. The people were humble, but he doubted they were that generous. "I have but few gold coins. I hope that will suffice as payment for doing so."
Ovixus really didn't pay much mind to the child, as he thought childrenand as such he had no quarrel with them. Most children reminded him of the young prince of the Dark Kingdom, but Ovixus didn't spend much time with that child when he returned to the Dark Kingdom with the bones of his enemies. It was improper, he thought. And in response to thinking about the prine, his mind was brought to the image of the young man who was now King. The man who wasn't too distant of age compared to Ovixus himself. He wondered how the man had been doing.

I hope your doing better. p.s after this, ill make the mother and child NPC's. So if anyone would like to take over for them is free to do so. We can take turns.
The boy, seeing as he found something he likes, was starting to inch ever so closer to the creature. Painfully unaware at how uncomfortable he was making the young mirromancer. Dyhren, trying his best to keep from the child falling off, glanced over at the female and took notice of her introverted behavior. As it was his duty to supervise the guest, it was also his duty to make sure their experience in the kingdom went as smoothly as possible. In this instant, it was t keep her everyone content. Rocking a bit on his heels, Dyhren in turn brought child's attention elsewhere. And by elsewhere he meant his ears. Flipping them back and forth the young boy became entranced and giggled as he played. Backing up a bit the panther made some space, bringing him to his mother.
"Gold coins are more than enough. Ah thank you Sir Dyhren. I apologize, he can be a handful. Confirming the amount, the mother took her child in her arms and skillfully calmed him down."Please follow me." Again with a smile, the woman instructed the three- er rather four including the kit, to trot behind her.
"I must say you've both come at the right time. During this time, the market is filled with plenty of resources. I'm glad that I've run into you actually. It is always nice to see new customers." Starting up some conversation, the woman weaved through the streets as her words became true. Many people in the market were outside of their stands loading in some supplies that had come in crates. Others unloaded carts. Many were happy and eagerly rushing through to make their time useful. Scanning the area, Dyhren was making a mental note of the adequate market productivity. Something to remember to report when he went back.

She relaxed a bit as the shapeshifter began to distract the young child with his ears, backing away from n**. n** then stepped out of Ovixus' rather imposing shadow and began to observe the strange market. There was food and trinkets lining every stall and the chatter was beginning to grow louder as more people began to filter in. n** wasn't sure she could tolerate the noise much longer, but then the tailor-woman asked them to follow her; a request that n** followed immediately. Walking through the crowds, n**'s eye caught on a small blackened mirror. Her own mirror started shining in response to it. Wandering over, she leaned in to examine it and was immediately barked at by the stall-owner. "No gawking! You want, you pay!" The man said, his arms crossed. n** nearly jumped out of her skin at his harsh words, but recovered and reached into her bag, pulling out a small silver thimble she found on her way to the Psychic Kingdom. She didn't know why, but she needed that mirror. "Will this be enough?" The man's eyes looked over the small item and he snatched it from her, examining it closer, "Yes, this'll do. Would you like it wrapped up?" n** shook her head and took the mirror, putting it in her bottomless bag, "Thank you," She said to the merchant, returning to Ovixus' side.

As requested, Ovixus followed the woman to the direction of what he assumed must have been her shop when she told him that gold coins would be more than enough. As the woman said, gold was a luxury here, so he supposed his coin would perhaps go over the amount needed, unless the fabric was thick enough and well-quality.
Ovixus seemed fixed on the woman far too much to care for much of the activity in the market—his sidequest was the task to work on, but had he shifted his gaze a little he would ave been lost in the world of items in the market around him.
Because of his focus, Ovixus didn't realize that n** had wandered off through the crowds in search of an item hat caught her gaze. She was quick to return, however, so Ovixus never noticed.
Seeing as they were already well within the market, the small group did not need to walk too far. The shop woman with her child in arms, walked fairly slow so that the others wouldn't get lost in the commotion. Turning one corner after another, there was a specific store with a beautiful color of lavender waiting at the end. Not as extravagantly decorated as the color palate was a bit pale but subtly adorable. The name of Sharla written in silver letters on the overhanging sign. Giving a quick smile over the shoulder, the shop owner strode inside rather calmly.
Inside the store, a multitude of designs were hung on the walls. Ranging from age and gender. Down on the ground, the designs came to life as they were already cut and sewn together. Precisely hung from their hangers and even some on mannequins. Other accessories such as chairs and footrest where placed every now and then throughout the store. Near the back of the store was where her work station lay. Linens and cloths lining the shelves behind her. Placing the child in a chair filled with pillows and comforters, a safe distance away from her work station. "There you go Koda. Mother is going to work. Now behave little one." Placing a kiss on the child's forehead, the woman then moved to confront her customers. "Now, would you like to look around and explore what catches your eye or would you like me to make something from scratch?" Meanwhile saying this, the woman began rolling up her sleeves and taking a few instruments from her desk.
