"She's good company alright, and has been so for quite a while," he said, rubbing her muzzle affectionately. "And I'm just an old bag anyway, I don't blame you for wanting to hang around Lop." Lop snurfled her agreement, chewing on a mouthful of grass, and Daithi tugged her ear in mock outrage. "Ah ye old bag of bones, you watch your mouth or you'll be chewing dry leaves tonight!" She just snurfled again and shook her head, and he laughed and scrubbed at her scruffy excuse of a mane.

Hester stifled a chuckle behind a hand, unable to help it. Her former reservation was completely gone. Nevermind that one of them was human and one wasn't, the two looked almost like an old couple bickering with one another. It was, in a way. "Now, comments like that don't help. I can't guarantee I'll stay if you don't behave." she told Lop sternly. "How am I to know you haven't picked up any of his negativity?"

Lop just shook her head again and nudged her with her soft nose. "Aw, she likes you," Daithi said, grinning at her. Lop just snorted at him and went on munching her grass. "So ye don't mind watching the shop with her for a bit? I promise not to be gone too long," he added to Hester, smiling.

"She does?" Hester smiled at the mule. She hesitantly reached out and gave Lop a pat on the head, fluffing her straggly mane a little to give it a perkier look. Feeling nervous, as she didn't really know if it would bother Lop, she withdrew it rather quickly afterwards. "Neh, that'd be fine. Take as long as you want." she replied.

"Well then I'll thank you kindly for watching out for my old shop and my even older mule-" Lop snurfed at him and made as if to bite him, but he just offered her more grass which she accepted "while I go look about the fair." He smiled at her most genially, and bowed as he left.

"My pleasure!" Hester waved until he was out of sight, then turned to find some place to settle. She chose a patch of ground by the tent, careful to keep both mule and desk in sight while she examined her catch, winding it up a few times. The rabbit kicked futilely in midair. "I bet there's an entire desk dedicated to you." she mused, glancing over at Lop. "Eating ones, lounging ones...biting ones, too."
It wasn't the best of days for the spiders, but had turned out very well for their replacement. She leaned back against the tent and waited, dozing slightly under the warm midday sun.

{{ gyeh, gyeh, sorry i've not been on all day. >< }}
Later that afternoon Daithi returned, his pockets bulging with acquired toys, gadgets, and gizmos. "Looks like Lop's just as entertaining as I am," he said, smiling at the dozy girl. "Thank you again for minding my shop, twas really quite nice of you," he told her, pressing a few coins into her hands. "Tis only fair to pay you for your service, after all," he added when she might have protested.

Spade returned to her favorite spot on the fountain. She had spent most of the day lost from leaving the arena and she was happy she found somewhere familar. Though no one bothered her, she felt safer around the merchents rather then the district around the arena. Sitting on her spot, she sighed with relief. True, she was used to being on her feet most of the day, but usually she didn't walk so much as much as she had during the last few days.
Bringing out her diary, she noticed the spot where she had been taking notes when her pencil was dropped and she ran into Alcion, and then helped the bear bestial. There was much to write about. So, pulling out her pencil again, she opened where she left off and continued.

{Ack, I'm sorry myself for not saying something sooner. Been sick & unmotivated all week =/ *clings to thread*}
She had certaintly been about to, though diverted her words into a weary sigh. "I don't know whether to feel flattered or guilty." she admitted as she got to her feet. "Giving tours, rabbits, and now payment for falling asleep!" Hester grinned, looking slightly embarrassed. The guilty side seemed to be winning over. "You really don't have to. Lop could've..." What? Meandered away? Horrors!
Hester wrinkled her nose at her conscience. "...gotten lonely." she finally finished. It sounded just as stupid.

Alcion sat by the fountain, unaware of anything near him and instead, focusing on his doodle of the marketplace, a small apple laying on his lap, with his sketchboard staying on his folded knees, while careful of his black silk shirt in the process.
The sound of the fountain was soothing, in despise the crowd. He was thankful for that.

(( is no problem. *nodnod* =D we're technically on borrowed time anyway since the contest was extended so us second-chancers could play. X3 ))
"Well it may seem silly, but you'd be surprised how many idgit thieves are scared off just by the presence of somebody, sleeping or no. After all, there's always the chance you're secretly a mage with an illusion of sleep on, spying, waiting to pounce on any rule-breakers you see and turning them into toads!" he said dramatically. "All rubbish, of course, but usually if you're petty enough to steal from a tinker, you're stupid enough to believe it. And I wouldn't worry about Lop getting lonely, she just likes having people around. Half the time she ignores me anyway," he added, laughing. True to form, Lop had merely chewed on her hay and grass mix complacently this whole time, and hadn't even reacted when Daithi left or returned.

Spade entered the market place, she had been running around plant hunting as usual and was heading back to her favorite spot when she noticed Alcion. She noticed he wasn't paying much attention to the rest of the crowds, but was concentrating on another drawing. She carefully came up nearby and coughed into her hand to not jolt the Elf noble out of his work, but make her presence known in a subtle way.
"Ahem."
She waited for him to respond, standing there waiting to get his attention.

Spade nodded and pulled on her nose as a greeting gesture, and decided to take up his offer and sat beside him.
"Good day Lord Alcion. I am happy she got it, and yes, as long as it is bottled, it is fine and should last a few summers. Though it is best served warm though. I hope her throat does not get aggrivated singing. And I still hold my offer to make more if she needs it. It's not a problem."
Spade didn't mind making more, as long as it was helping someone. That was her job after all. Though her curiousity was peeked, she was wondering what he had been working on when she had walked up.
"What has caught your eye this time? Anyone particular in the market that graces your attention for you most recent workings?"
She nodded her nose towards his sketch pad. Pondering what he might have been drawing.
