Charlot couldn't help but laugh. Ankita's excitement was contaigeous... and odd. It was fruit, after all. Maybe she'd never been around fresh fruit- although that didn't make sense with Sarava and all.
His nose wrinkled a little as all the scents culminated together in one rich glob of fruit, herbs, and some exotic insence burning in the background. You could really hide a dead body in a place like this.
Snapping back to the present, he glanced toward Ankita. "This issa pretty decent size room filled w'all manner of veggies an fruits... anythin' you p'tically fancy?" He grabbed a small sack, filling it with Sarava bribes while he was thinking about it.
"Looks like they also gotta few candles an 'oddities' t'ward the back."

Ankita immediatly perked up out of her trance when she heard the word "candles", but began to frown slightly since she disallowed herself from having candles. Movement, Lack of Sight, Sources of Fire and Flammable objects being placed into an equation typically didn't end very well, and most likely not at all in her favor.
She thought for a moment about fruits, pursing her lips in thought.
"Strawberries! And... Melons." Her rubbed against her nose in though, "Oranges!" Her voice squeaked in excitement. Oranges were her favorite fruit but she rarely had the chance to eat them.
She slowly began to wander the shop, holding her hand out to her side, brushing up against fruits and picking them up to smell and test for firmness, and making sure to avoid venturing too far back.

Strawberries, melons, and oranges. Alright. He nodded to himself, moving through the shop picking out some of each of these and tossing them in a bag. Two bags in hand, he turned to follow around Ankita, curious to see what she was sniffing and picking as she went through the bins of fruit.
"Well, we got enough for a decent fruit salad, eh?" He glanced toward the candles and things as they passed the back set of shelves, eyebrows raised at the tiny black statues and various shinies. Hmm... "Oi'll be right back-"
He stepped over to the shelf, looking for anything made of silver. After touching several of the little statues and thing, he found a few peices made of silver and pocketed them before returning to Ankita.

Ankita had grabbed a few pomegranates, and a medium sized bag of litchi nuts. She turned to him with a large grin on her face and nodded.
"This should all be good." She stood, waiting for him to return, finding herself humming a little tune quietly to herself.

"Oi think there's a bread shop next door," He replied after paying the merchant, stepping up beside Ankita. "We coul' getta few things there an call this a meal- hmm?"
He walked over to the door, opening it for her again. A few instructions on where everything was in relation to her and the door, and he figured she could get outside again without any trouble.

Ankita wandered out, and paused for a moment when she got outside. She couldn't believe how much of a sick puppy she must have appeared to be, waiting for instructions and directions. She didn't like to appear as such, and surely didn't want him to view her that way, and began to do what she did best, or at least almost best, which was follow her nose. She took a deap breath, trying to destinguish all scents from the fruity shop they had just been to, finally getting the scent of buttery bread and marched off in the direction.
She reached out until she felt the door, opening it, releasing the strong scent of home made bread that had been waiting to come out. A grin creeped onto her face as she held her hand in front of her to show him the way.
"This way, Monsieur." She curtsied slightly.

"Oi evah tell you y'cute?" Charlot asked as he passed her into the shop. To him, Ankita was bright and happy- despite being BLIND. She always seemed to float around as if that didn't matter to her. It almost seemed to strengthen her in many ways.
The scent of bread hit him, washing away all the fruit and veggie smell that had lingered from the previous shop. The bakery was lined with glass cases, each boasting breads, cookies, cakes, and the assorted baked goods. Lots of shiney sugary things.
Charlot stepped up to the counter, tapping a finger along the glass as he scanned the contents.
"So Miz Anky'ta.. what's y'pleasha f'desert? They've got cookies, cakes, an damn near whateveh y'fancy in here."

Ankita's eyes widdened and what cool she had calmy collected had quickly been flushed away by the comment.
"Uh..er..." For a few moments she stood at the door, trying to think of what to say in response, but by the time she figured something out, he had made his way to the counter. "Thanks..?" She said quietly. She quickly shook it off, and followed slowly inside.
A moment went by as she stood by the counter, her fingers pressing up the glass and biting her lip, trying to think of what she wanted for deserts. You? passed her mind, followed by a laugh that from the outside of her mind most likely appeared to be slightly inappropriate. But in all seriousness, this was an important decision since anything sweet related was hardly something she took lightly.
Cookies? No. She had a large amount stored away in her, ... trunk, though cake did sound quite good.
"Cake sounds good." she nodded enthusiasticly. "A sponge cake, ... or something chocolatey..." her eyes squinted slightly, giving her face an almost stoned look to it.

Cake did sound good. He hadn't had cake in a long time... He scanned the glass counters for a moment, listening to Ankita's voice as she requested the deserts she wanted. Sponge cake... then chocolate.
" 'Ow about a li'tle of both?" He pointed out a sponge cake covered in chocolate syrup with chocolate shavings decorating it. He figured that was close enough to hit both marks.
He picked something for himself, as well as a bit of bread for dinner and had it boxed up. After paying, he turned back to Ankita.
"Alright, oi think we got ourselves a feast."

Are you after my heart?! she thought to herself. She would have settled for one or the other, but both in the same piece of cake was complete euphoria.
She felt slightly embarassed for not having paid for anything as she walked out the bakery. Sweets weren't the only things she horded. Since she was fairly stingy about what to spend money on, she typically had quite a lot saved from week to week.
As she stood outside the shop, waiting for him to follow, she bit her lip feeling worried.
"I'll pay you back for all of this." she said nodding. Typically she paid for everything herself as a means of avoiding any sort of debt to others.

"Y'already 'ave... member?" Charlot walked past her and down onto the main street. "Oi'm stayin' in y'trailor. Gettin' th'food is th'least oi c'n do in repayment."
He shrugged, waiting for her to join him.

Personal favors never equated to financial debt in Ankita's mind. She figured sending Sarava off at random moments in the night, making her slowly pay it off over an extended period of time.
She quickly scampered after him, paying attention to his footsteps to follow.
"Should we go back to my trailer? Or maybe find a nice spot somewhere?" She wasn't sure how many nice spots there would be since the ground still felt wet under her feet. And the normally she didn't care for getting dirty, she was particularly worried as to how her sari would take to the mud.

"Hmmm, Oi think oi remember seein' a set of random tables t' th'side of th'camp we c'n use if they're still there." He slowed his pace a little so she could catch up and they could walk TOGETHER and not her following him so much.
"Unless you'd prefer t'go back t'th trailer." He glanced around, frowning slightly. "It is a'bit cold out 'ere."
He couldn't quite place it, but he felt strange outside. It was an overcast night and above them the clouds were covering up all the stars and whatever moon was hanging in the sky. It made his skin crawl as he looked up idly. Was it that time already?
"Y'know on second thought... we should prob'ly go back t'your trailer."

Ankita nodded, "Trailer sounds good. Thoug I do like the cold."
She had always been the kind of person who prefered the weather in the dead of winter than that of summer's. And in fact, often kept her trailer windows open just a tad so that the cold air could make it's way in. She rarely ever closed the windows completely since she simply would end up bundling herself in more and more blankets to keep herself warm.

He had no problems with the cold himself. His problems lay above them, shrouded in the clouds. He could feel the itch of anxiety in the back of his mind. He really needed to hurry up and eat, and leave Ankita in peace... before it was too late for him to hide somewhere for a bit.
Charlot sighed, opening the trailer door for her and waited. "..'ere we are. Doesn' look like Sarava 'ad any problems while y'was gone."
