He chuckled, following her closely. "Sounds like fun."
-
"Actually...in all honesty...the place just smells nice. Like...I don't know. The new cloak smell! Ya! That's it!" She rambled as she walked Cannon down a different path and onto what looked to be a market street. People were walking around and smiled at Can and Bella as they passed. Eventually they came up to a small wooden house that had a sign saying "Cloak and Dagger!" On the front. "Here we are!!!" Bella said. "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon let's go!" She let out as she ran up the steps to the building and continued to drag Can's arm behind her.

Inside the quaint store there was a long table in he enter with many different fabrics folded on top of it. On the right side of the room were purple cloaks, similar to that of what some people wore around town. On the left were maroon coloured cloaks. A middle aged woman looked up from the large counter at the end of the store. "My, Bella dear! Who is this?" She asked. "This is CannedRice, Marzia!" Bella declared to the woman. "My! What a name!" Mariza said with a light laugh as she looked to Can. "Well? Don't be shy! Come on in!"
-
Cannon chuckled, looking around the shop. He really had no idea what he was supposed to buy. "Um, thank you?"

Edited by Inflatablepants: 4/22/2017 8:09:08 PM"Uh-huh. First cloak is that right?" Marzia asked as she walked around the check out. "It's fine. Especially for a newcomer! Those are rare! Though, surprisingly common as of late..." Bella seemed to be touching all of the clothes and fabrics in the store as Marzia approached Can.
-
"Is there some sort of uniform?" Cannon asked, having noted most of the people around wore red.
-
"Well, red is everyone's favourite. But we won't judge if you pick a different colour!" Marzia told him. "We have red, blue, black. And purple! Purple would look good on you!" She told Can. "Though, maroon would look good as well...hmmmm."
-
Edited by Cannon011: 4/22/2017 8:26:13 PM"Hmmmm..." He liked the purple one, but red would allow him to blend in easier. Then again, a dark color would mean he could hide if he had to escape. "Do you have any green? I like that color." He said.
-
"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Marzia suddenly bursted out angrily. She then quickly composed herself. Bella skipped over. "Green is what the Grenwalds wear, silly!" Bella told Can. "You can't wear what they wear!"
-
"Oh, sorry." He said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "I'm new around here..."
-
"Yes, yes. It's fine. At least you have the decency to wear a cloak..." Marzia said as she looked at some of the red cloaks. It's possible that she was referring to Diana.

Edited by Cannon011: 4/22/2017 9:25:03 PMCannon walked over to some other cloaks, looking at them. "I guess I'll take a red one. They are rather pretty."
-
"Ah! Yes, you said so before. Now let's see...ah! Yes!" She celebrated as she took a red cloak off of the rack. She handed it to Can. "Hey, Marzy." Bella asked. "Where you talking about Diana?" "Yes, yes I was." Marzia said to Bella. "Though, its rude to gossip..."
-
"Who is she?" Cannon asked. "She seemed a bit... Different than everyone else. And I don't just mean the lack of a cloak. Is she from around here?"
-
"Oh! No!" Marzia said. She seemed excited about the push of the topic. "She came by a month ago as if from no where! Then, she began to well...see, Ulfric. If you know what I mean. The death of Wulfric, his brother, has weighed heavily on us, especially him. It's very possible that he's looking to her as a form of escape..." "How would you find escape in someone else?" Bella asked innocently. "Well, umm. Oh, sorry Bella, I really shouldn't talk about Ulfric like that. Anyways, let's get that cloak on shall we?" She asked Can.
-
Cannon noded thankfully. "Yes, thank you. Is it possible I could get it a tad thicker than normal?" He requested, hoping to get some possible armor value from it,
-
"Hmm? Oh, certainly." She said as she put the cloak away and picked out another. It was thicker then the last. "Ooooh. This one is nice." She told Can as she held it out to him. Bella felt the fabric and her eyes went wide. "It's so soft!!!" She said.
-
Cannon felt the cloak. "Aye, it is." He smiled slightly, a distant look in his eye for a second.
-
"LIKE REALLY SOFT!!!" Bella exclaimed again. "Yes, Bella, we know." Marzia said to her. She turned to Cannon. "So? Is this the one you want?"
-
He nodded, smiling and laughing slightly at Bella's exclamation. "This would do nicely... But I doubt I could afford such a fine cloak." He sighed.
-
"Oh, you don't have to pay silly!" Bella said. "You can just take it! We share like...everything here!!!" "It's true! We don't have a currency here. If someone needs something, then they get it! Within reason of course." Marzia let him know.
-
"Really?" Cannon asked, wide eyed. "That's amazing, thank you."
-
"My pleasure. Anyways, you should head over to the steelworks. You can pick up your weapons there." Marzia said. "THEN WE GET TO SEE WELTERS! Actually he's kind of scary...." Bella said quietly afterwords as she grabbed Can's hand.
-
Cannon picked up the cloak, as he was lead out, pulling it on. "The steelworks? I've never been to a steelworks before." He commented as Bella lead him.
