Seeing the sadness in Ava’s eyes Terrin placed his hands on her shoulders in an attempt to convey comfort. Reaching around her head he grasps and pulls the hood of the cloak over her head and fastens the clasp holding it together underneath her chin. [color=7ec0ee]”You will need this a lot more than I,”[/color] he smiles gently, [color=7ec0ee]”We’ll need to hit the road soon, start heading towards the southern exit and I will meet you there shortly, I have some business to finish up.” [/color]

He watched Ava leave, deciding she was far enough away he went to work. [color=7ec0ee]”Hey, Sena isn’t it?”[/color] he addressed the elf. [color=7ec0ee]”People like the scum we fought don’t stop until they get what they want so I would suggest leaving as fast as possible. You look like you can handle yourself but if you wish Ava and I are heading south."[/color] Terrin did not wait for a reply before he walked off to his last errand. 

[i]I hope that was the right idea, she is still an unknown.[/i] This worry occupied his mind until he found himself where he needed to be, in front of the shop that Ava was looking at before. A small bell rang from the door as he walked in, announcing the clerk of his presence. A older looking elvan woman began her warm introduction, “Welcome cu-ustomer!” a slight stutter appeared as she noticed the customer being a half-elf. [color=7ec0ee]”Good evening ma’am. Don’t worry, I’ll be quick."[/color] Terrin found himself by the wares that Ava was looking at before the incident, a table full of little trinkets and jewelry. [i]Crap...which one was she looking at?[/i] he chided himself for not paying enough attention. He eyes began scanning the table when one piece caught his eye, a rather plain golden rope necklace with a small pendant of the sun. Looking into his coin pouch he sighed deeply, this was going to cost him quite a lot. “That’s a lovely piece.” Terrin whipped around with a start to see the shopkeeper looking over his shoulder. “I’m sure she’ll be happy with it,” she reassured him. Terrin blushed slightly and quickly paid her, [color=7ec0ee]”Thanks.”[/color] As Terrin stormed out the shopkeep’s voice rang out, now from behind her desk, “Have a good day dear customer!”

Walking towards the south gate he saw the cloaked figure of Ava awaiting his return. [color=7ec0ee]”Sorry that took so long, now let us leave."[/color] Looking over the horizon, Terrin saw the sunset, a beautiful mix of orange, red and yellow with the sky turning nearly pink. Terrin looked at his partner’s expression, seeing such an amazed look as she appreciated the nature in front of her was a refreshing sight, he lived for so long but hasn’t felt a moment like that for nearly one hundred years. His hand brushed over the necklace in his pocket as his heart skipped a beat, [i]I guess this is as good of a time as any[/i], he tried to call himself down with the thought as he pulled the box out. [color=7ec0ee]”H-here, I saw you looking at the shop in town, since we couldn’t stay and see the festival I thought you may have wanted something from the town.”[/color] He held up the necklace to Ava, thinking he saw approval on her face, [color=7ec0ee] "I’ll put it on for you.”[/color] He carefully pulled the hood off her head, making sure to keep her hair in place. He then draped the gift over her slender shoulders and with a small click it was securely fastened. [color=7ec0ee]”I know it isn’t much but I hope you like it. We’ll need to hurry, there’s a storm coming."[/color] As if to accent his point thunder rumbled in the distance whilst traveling in the waning sunlight.
