"Better be careful with that or it will most definitely be your turn." Murmured Yunan, a heated flash in his gaze that promised a lot more if Nyko wasn't careful. It was strange being around companions that he could be open with, even watching them interacting with smiles was an adjustment but it didn't feel horrible. In fact, well he rather enjoyed it. "Try some streaks if you'd like. Worst case they fade over time." He managed after a moment of listening to the other two converse, filling in the blanks for Aaricia while also not failing to notice the subtle blush.
"I wonder if the same could be said for me, I'm jealous." Yunan managed lightly, keeping his tone even as he tried to focus on the potion bottles before him and not on the other two. "As it is we should probably get these final bottles and leave before the scary lady comes back." He whispered teasingly, his gaze alert even as he said the words just in case she had somehow reappeared but thankfully it looked like they had a clean shot to the counter. Making their purchases as quickly as possible would probably save them all from being dragged into an early grave by a walking corpse.

"How do you plan to pay if she's the one running the shop? I haven't seen anyone else milling about unless they're hiding too." That would just be his luck, too; turn a corner and bam, another creepy old woman. For a moment he stayed still so Aaricia could inspect him, but Yunan's comment had Nyko's eyes drifting toward the other man. "Y'know...If we weren't trying to be 'less obvious' with our connections I'd dye a few of your braids. Just a few around the temple; it's called a money piece."
Of course when he had it Nyko had been flat broke but that was neither here nor there. "As it stands Nicosia doesn't have dyed hair only Nyko does and until this is wrapped up-" He shrugged and straightened his posture. "Once it's over you'll both have to stop me from messing around with dyes."

Jealous? Aari found her gaze drifting over to inspect Yunan's features without thinking. After a moment, she was again grateful for the self control she had and gave a nod. "I would think you would be quite confident in your appearance." They really were a fine looking couple.. It was best to stop going down those roads of thought though. "On that note, I doubt I would ever dye my hair." In her years of hiding out, she had never had the heart to change her hair even for the sake of blending in... Her father had threatened to do it for her until he'd realized the appeal of the "exotic."
She looked at Nyko and shook her head. "You will just have to practice some self control without my help." She chuckled lightly and turned to check where the old lady had gone. After this was all over, those two would be in Belrea, and she.. Well, she wouldn't be done here in Oba yet. There would always be elitist rich to bring down... A glittering solution on the shelf caught her eye enough to warrant a closer look as she read the label out loud. "Glitter Vomit: Exactly as it.. as it sounds." A snort of a laugh escaped her. "How unfortunate it would be to be on the receiving end of this."

"Hmm...fair enough." Yunan tilted his head thoughtfully, the expression almost innocent if it wasn't for the smirk on his lips. "I suppose then we'll have to just wait for her to return and then pay for the goods. Do you want to handle it?" He teased Nyko, his golden gaze still darting to the side to watch for the shop owner before going back towards the Matori with interest. "One day we won't have to be less obvious, maybe I'll consider doing something like that then. "
His teasing expression faltered, Yunan giving Aaricia a sincere nod of appreciation before thinking about her disinterest in dying her hair. "If not dye then there are other ways to change hairstyles, you're beautiful enough as it is but some adornments would be interesting against the darker blue." It was a simple observation, a return for the compliment he had just received with no other intentions, and Yunan found himself shaking his head at the latest potion that was discovered. "Unfortunate indeed. Even I don't think I would want to deal with the mess that would be left behind, though using it against certain others may be tempting."
The sudden dragging noise of feet, like someone trudging from the beyond into their realm, caught his attention and Yunan let out a soft sigh. "It appears our opportunity to make our purchases has returned. I'll pay, just let her know whatever you'll have." As he spoke he was already holding out the potions he had scooped up into a basket with one hand while the other one sought out coins to pay the owner. There was no need for receipts, no traceable coins either...all so that it would be nearly impossible to track whoever had come into this particular potions store today which was perfect considering their upcoming plots.

Nyko gave a half-hearted, fake laugh and stepped just out of Yunan's circle. "Ah ha ha, nooo. A most generous offer, but I'll have to decline." After all, Yunan was the merchant here and Nyko wouldn't dream of denying his partner the most glorious honor of his trade. He smiled at the man, all cheek and mischievousness, as the Matorian made his way away from the counter.
"He has a point, Aaricia; your hair is lovely as it is, but maybe a little decoration? Something to make the color spark." It was something they could visit in the future, should she want it, but Nyko wasn't so sure that she would. Aaricia wasn't like him in that regard; Nyko would have been covered head to toe in jewels if allowed. Still, there must have been something out there that would get her approval.
The sound of approaching footsteps had Nyko moving toward the door. The Matorian walked backwards, a little less-than-obvious in his intention. "I can tell I'm not needed anymore and really, there's work to do on my end. Busy busy busy. A pleasure as always," He tipped an imaginariy hat to Aari with a grin then took those same fingers and tapped his lips when he looked at Yunan, "Don't keep me waiting."
Then Nyko spun on his heel and left.

Aari found her gaze shifting insecurely to the side. Despite the time growing her independence, she still felt the pang of unease when her looks were praised. Not that she doubted their words, but after years of knowing her beauty had once been doomed to false appreciation left an aftertaste that was still a process to break. Nyko was easy enough to believe, but she was still feeling through Yunan's intentions. "The braid is so easy to do and practical. Perhaps, after all this, I will see about doing something different with it."
She looked up at the approaching steps of the creepy woman while Nyko's steps grew distant, unable to help the amusement on her lips. Ah, time to wrap up their little trip. She glanced at Yunan and considered the options she had found. With a little deliberation, she decided on a couple potions and brought them over. She could take her time later to figure out the ways they could be used.
