[color=ed1c24]"Ooh!"[/color]

Of course, Angel and Cyare had met in the capital; it wasn't like they hadn't been to some of the more urban parts of Fiore, and it was pretty unlikely that they'd [i]never[/i] return. But Angel hadn't been doing a lot of knick-knack shopping, especially after meeting up with Cyare and Rei, and they hadn't had time on their travels to really enjoy a market.

Plus, if Cyare had half a chance, she would buy him something first - and no doubt refuse to let him pay for anything after drawing first blood.

[color=ed1c24]"O~kay~!"[/color] the mage cheerfully agreed, pulling Cyare by the hand over to the market with a slight bounce in his step. [color=ed1c24]"Good to meetcha! What's it you sell, exactly?"

[i]Oooh, I can get Rei something too![/i][/color]

He got the feeling nobody ever bought Rei presents. That had to be lonely.

Oh no.

Even through a handful of incidents, given how little time they had to visit gift shops and markets, one thing had become abundantly clear. Like with cooking, Angel Ferrara did not do gifts by halves. It was all but a form of warfare; the war to find and deliver the perfect gift, even if the gift-ee did not want him to do so. Budget became a nonissue, somehow. Very endearing, but if left unopposed? Potentially catastrophic.

So even as she was lead away, following without too much resistance and with a smile on her face, she planned. 

"Yes, what [i]do[/i] you sell?" In the back of her mind she knew her questions should have been focused, first, on what he knew about the recent attacks. Buuut maybe he'd be more cooperative if they bought something first. Especially if it was cooking equipment. A new knife, maybe?
