"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.
-
The cloak fit Can nicely and the red worked with his own features. It was incredibly soft, and he noticed that there was actually leather underneath the seems. It looked like it could stop some force from an arrow. Bella lead Can out and the two walked down the street. "It's like...oh what do you call it...well it's a place where Welters makes like swords and bow and arrows! It's always so hot though...."
-
"Makes sense. It probably takes fire to soften the metal." Cannon agreed as he followed her.
-
"Ya! But actually he uses like...really powerful fire!" She said as she lead Can to the only different looking building. It was made of stone and heat emitted from it. "Here we are!" She said. The building really was just a square with a roof. It had a wood door, however.
-
Cannon looked the building over. "Huh. There isn't anything like this where I'm from." He commented.
-
"Well maybe that's because you are not from here!" Bella replied to him wittily as she walked up the stairs, holding his wrist.
-
He followed, laughing a bit. "That's very true." He agreed with her.
-
She opened the door, and Can was hit with a heatwave. As Bella walked in, as well as Can, he was able to get a look of the place. It...wasn't what he was expecting. The steelworks had tools. Power tools. There were drill presses and lathes and plasma cutters. It was a set up he wouldn't have seen in a place like he was in. There was a large, muscular tanned man with no hair working on a blade. He had it red hot and was hammering it. He hadn't noticed the two walk in. "Hello welter!" Bella greeted. Though, he didn't reply. "Welter?" She asked again. "WELTER!!!!!" "HOLY SHIT!" The man yelled as he jumped up from where he was standing and tossed the red hot tang up. The hot metal landed on the stone paved floor and he rubbed his face in annoyance. "Hello Bella...." he said to her. "Who's this?" He asked Can.
