Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elka smiled down at Elenora. Of course she was. Ever since she was her daughter's age, she had put a lot of effort into her appearance. Spend an adequate amount of time inside and outside so you kept the perfect shade of blue skin. Use the correct products on your hair to keep it glossy and, in her case, curly. Don't eat too much. Always wear colors that flattered your shape. All of which was closely watched over by her own mother. Naturally, getting some of the products she had used up in Zena was a bit more difficult on her more limited budget, but she thought she tried her best. She still looked pretty good for her age.

As did Kayde. They just had good genetics, she supposed. Maybe he was the product of a noble's affair after all.

"Thank you, sweetly," the woman cooed, preening a little even under a youngling's compliment. Than she put on her thinking face once more, pursing her painted lips in thought. "I guess we could walk away, see what catches our attention."

Younglings. Always so energetic. The Zenan woman allowed herself to be pulled ahead towards and out the door. No point in scolding a child for being a child. You were only one for so long and should be allowed to enjoy it to the fullest extend.

Though sometimes she felt like she indulged Elias far too much. The boy was such chaos when he got going. How many things had he knocked over this week alone? Broken at least two things. He just didn't seem to have the awareness of other things when he started swinging that toy sword around.

The smell of cooking reached Elka's nose as she left the store, bag bouncing against her hip. Rain still fell, hitting the hood of her cloak. It would keep her hair wet, but for only so long.

"If that's what you want, we can go that way. See what they're cooking up."
