Listener half-skipped through Rig as she made her way to her destination turning her head from side to side to check out each spectacle she came across. A firebreather gulped down and spat up flames in front of an excited crowd of young boys. Their mothers watching from a close distance occasionally warning their child to not get too close and be careful. Listener passed countless stalls only really slowing down to peek at the variety of clothing stalls. One in particular caught her attention: an elegant ball dress with an open back. The top was a goldenrod yellow while the skirt of the dress was emerald green. Listener [b]definitely[/b] wanted it.

[color=pink]"Hi! Hi!"[/color] She got the attention of the merchant. [color=pink]"I absolutely LOVE this dress. What are you asking for it?"[/color]

The merchant lit up at Listener's compliment. "Thank you, My wife made that I'll be sure to let her know your feelings about it. As far as the price..." He stated the price for the dress.

Listener looked between the dress and the merchant while she considered the price. [color=pink]"Oh, I'm Ma-Listener. What's your name?"[/color]

The merchant raised an eyebrow with slight amusement. "Nice to meet you, Malistener, you have an interesting name. I'm Walt."

[color=pink]"Walt,"[/color] Listener felt grateful her mask hid her embarrassment so well. [color=pink]"I can't exactly bring the dress with me right away, so I have an idea. I'll pay for it right now, and you can keep it here as an attention-getter for your stall. It's so lovely that it will certainly serve as a great advertisement for your stall. I'll come by later today to pick up it up when I can, fair?"[/color]

Walt nodded his head. "Well, it isn't like you'd be able to walk off with a new dress like this without adjustments being made, so your idea is already going to be in action whether you buy the dress or not. Let's get your measurements, so my wife can fix it up and it will be ready at our store in a day or two." He pointed at the tailor storefront behind the stall he was working at with one hand while the other pulled a measuring tape from a pocket.

Listener's embarrassment now had reached a peak, and she simply nodded and followed his instructions while he took measurements. Once they were completed, Walt gave her a card letting her know she would need it when she came to pick up her dress. They exchanged pleasantries as she paid and said farewell. She walked away from the stall and back into the crowd silently accosting her assumption that it was a mobile stall and not already an advertising stall in front of a year-round store.

She took her humbling as a queue to get to her destination directly, and Listener walked to Archer's location while lost in thought. She instantly brightened up when Archer complimented her mask upon seeing her. [color=pink]"Oh! Thank you! I love it too. Yours is a bit wild, but I like that. It's like a call to adventure!"[/color] Her head pivoted to the wooden chest and Listener theatrically gasped. [color=pink]Oh my! It's so big!"[/color] The mention of a treat caught Listener's attention as her head pivoted back toward Archer excitedly. [color=pink]"I would love to have a walnut! Thank you, you're so sweet!"[/color]

As she pondered which weapon to choose, Listener mumbled loud enough to hear. [color=pink]"I'm not sure how squeamish I'd be around a Nox..."[/color] She shuffled through the gear occasionally picking up an item and saying, [color=pink]"Hmmm... no."[/color] Finally, she removed a spear with a metal shaft and the spearhead had an Illuminati Eye etched onto the flat of the blade. [color=pink]"This one. I like this one. What do you think?"[/color]
