An unexpected meeting [Done]

[Dark]

They were nearing the Magic District before Minh thought to inquire where exactly they were going--the district was a sprawling, eclectic affair and it was easy to get lost unless you knew the general location of the shoppe you wanted. She regarded her temporary shadow.

Dilis was a real cute kid, but she was seriously lacking some vital lower brain function--self preservation, maybe. She seemed genuinely interested in the world around her and she appeared to like learning, but there was a difference between knowing something and having experienced it. And Minh didn't care enough to try and explain it; the concept would slide completely over the girl's head. Dilis reminded her a bit of Helena in that respect--and wasn't that a scary thought. The kid would probably end up dead somewhere.

She smiled, "We're almost there. Was there any shoppe in particular that you were looking for?"

Minh seemed to be nice but she was a bit quiet for Dilis' taste; she probably would not want to visit her again unless it had something to do with her delightful kids. Anyway, enough of that; she focused on the area before them and tried think of the shoppe she needed to go. She could not remember but she did not really need to since she knew what it was she needed to obtain.

She turned to Minh and smiled brightly. "Well, I do not have a particular shoppe in mind; I just need to obtain a magic for intermediates book. I was going to just have a tutor but I kind of scare him a little" She giggled. Ah yes, Hatter... She supposed chasing him was not the best way to get him to pay attention to her... though, at least now he would never forget her name. He really was a handsome sort of man...

Dark and Kiki receive 2 tokens each, to be redeemed in Ashwin's Shoppe. This will automatically be added to your recorded totals in the shoppe. Congratulations, and keep up the good RP!

Dilis had an expression on her face very similar to the one Helena often sported when thinking of her latest beau, and Minh felt suddenly entirely uncomfortable with whatever un-aired thoughts that were currently circling around in the young feline's head. Helena was creepy enough on her own; society didn't need another, like-mind wandering about. She studiously ignored it.

"Books? Well, there's a second-hand shoppe above that tea cozy place. Why don't you try there, first? If nothing turns up, I'm sure the shoppe owner would be happy to refer you somewhere else. Those kinds of circles usually are."

And how to escape without seeming utterly rude? Tact had really never been her strong-suit, and despite Mnem's best efforts, Minh still didn't know heads or tails about manners. And she didn't particularly care, except for so many people putting so much merit in them.

"The shoppe is right there; actually, while I'm down here, I should step over to the craftsman district. I need to see in my new glass tubing is in, and this is as good of time as any. It was nice meeting you, Dilis." She smiled.

Minh seemed suddenly distracted, like she was trying to form her sentences carefully and that amused Dilis very much. She smiled to herself; she knew that people sometimes thought her creepy.

"Oh good, I will definitely look at this book store then. If you have things to do then I will not keep you... thank you for leading me here Minh, I am relatively sure I can get myself back home afterwards...though, I have never been very good with directions. However, it was a pleasure to meet you and your family (the kids especially)...I am sure we will cross paths again"

With that she turned on her heels and walked slowly to the door and opened it. I really hope they have what I am looking for... and that I can get home afterwards. She perused the shelves for what she wanted and giggled in delight. Today certainly was interesting, she had met so may people her mind was going like crazy. Definitely worth an entry in her journal.
