On a Run

[Deleted]

(OOC: Everyone loves blue <3)

Corina nodded and let Thorn have more time to look around. She looked to Crash and Anita talking, but wasn't going to jump in the conversation out of the blue.

"So the talk is of relationships...?" she thought. Corina knew she probably wasn't getting a boyfriend anytime soon. She only just got here anyway! But that was no matter. She took a sip of her water that she had behind the counter.

<sub>Crash grinned when Anita spoke up. Oh she was a tease, but hey it was a good conversation anyway. Thorn was busy with Corina anyway, picking some jewelry for his lady who may or may not be his girlfriend. Hoo haa.

"I'm sure someone will feign interest in you." He'd pat Anita's head. "However I will punch the first guy who makes fun of you." Either way, Corina piped up as well and he nodded.

"Yeup. Exciting, isn't it?" And very girly, but he wouldn't say that.</sub>

[Deleted]

"Exciting? More like stressful and unforgiving..." Thorn mumbled to himself with distaste in his voice. It did nothing but remind him of how Saul wold try and meddle in his relationships and made him slightly long for his mother to tell Saul to stop, but that wasn't going to happen. He took in a breath in a attempt to calm him self before his friends would notice the growing agitation that was starting to boil as he thought about it.

He returned to the jewelery to help this attempt, something caught his eye that reminded him of Sarina, It was a bit complicated, but small and simple at the same time so that wouldn't get in the way of her work or be noticed if someone was intending to steal something.

A small smile grew on his face when he thought about it. "Ah how much is this Ma'dam?"

[Deleted]

Hey, she could try to be a tease. Plus, it was in Anita's blood to be a bit of a troll not that she knew it. She did have to smile a bit when Crash told her that someone would find interest in her one day.

"Hopefully someone I find interest in back, and someone that could look past the physical aspects..." she said. Who would show interest in her anyways, considering that she looked Eastern? Not that many people, it sounded like. Crash then casually mentioned punching any guy that made fun of her as he patted her on the head.

"Well, we'll see. I still have a few years to go before I need to start getting worried about that." She was still only fifteen years old, after all. She eyed the piece that Thorn had found. That looked rather nice.

[Deleted]

"I see..." Corina wasn't really one to be intentionally looking for a relationship. True if she saw someone rather nice and/or good-looking, she - in her mind - would give them their props and move on. But an actual relationship? Probably going to be a long while before that happens with Corina.

Snapping back out of her thought, she turned to Thorn. "Oh! All jewelry is 3 shillings today!"

[Deleted]

<sub>Crash was weird. He wanted a relationship, and he wanted to be a good daddy, but he wanted a girl who he could be platonically close to on top of it all. Either way, he wouldn't speak his mind about it. He'd pat Anita's head when she spoke up.

"You got plenty of times, ma'am." He watched as Thorn explained what he wanted and the price. He could easily sense something was off about Thorn (it's in his nature to be alert and distracted at the same time).

"Heh~!"</sub>

[Deleted]

"Brilliant~ I think this will do then ma'dam." he smiled as he got out his wallet and promptly smacked his hand on the table hard enough to where he'd drop the wallet causing is money to scatter on the floor. He let out a long annoyed groan as he knelled down to gather the scattered coins.

"At lest I didn't smack my nose on the counter" he grumbled to him self. Thorn was... In a mood today, many things where on his mind, not a lot of them pleasurable.

[Deleted]

There was nothing odd about that at all, dear Crash, which is what she would likely say if she knew what he was thinking. Then again, wasn't she friends with these two silly guys right here? Even though both of them were taken, that wouldn't stop her from doing her best to be friends with them. She blinked when Crash patted her on the head, and smiled.

"Well, I'll see. I do have a few years to go before I should start getting worried." Had she been born into a normal Serian or Truesdalan family, they probably would have started encouraging her to get married once she hit eighteen or so. But alas, she wasn't, and she was fine with that.

Oh goodness, Thorn really took clumsy to new heights. She bent down to help him gather the coins up. "Hey, this sort of thing can happen to anybody, Thorn. Don't worry about it."

Once she could spot no more coins, Anita handed the ones that she had found to Thorn.

[Deleted]

"I'm glad you've found your--oh!" Corina noticed the wallet drop and tried to go over to help, but Anita beat her to it. Awkwardly moving back to being behind the counter, she peered over it. "Are you all right?" Corina asked.

[Deleted]

<sub>Crash nodded and then reached over to try and ruffle Anita's hair, though it was too long for that, so he gave up. He would grin and then nod, knowing that whole thing about women getting married, blah blah. Glad he was a guy, but he wouldn't say that out loud.

He'd glance over and then look down at the shillings that fell before he crouched to pick them up, putting them on the counter. Yes he was being helpful along with Anita.

"Is that it?" He'd step back to look down. After the excitement earlier, this would ne a nice thing to do.</sub>

[Deleted]

"Yeah, thank you both" he smiled at his friends, before he got up, looking to Corina. "Yes ma'dam, thank you for asking" he replied, as he got up, he of course, smacked his head on the counter. "Ack!...Today is clearly not going to be a pleasant day for me." he grumbled as he rubbed the area of his head he hit, then pulled the three shillings needed the out for Corina. "Sorry about all that.."

[Deleted]

Oh Crash; Anita was a bit amused when he ruffled her hair but didn't bother to say anything on the subject. Of course he would get bored with the girl talk. Still, Anita smiled as Thorn thanked her for picking up the coins. "You're welcome."

Poor Thorn. It seemed like whenever Anita ran into him, he was having a bad day. She patted him on the shoulder.

[Deleted]

"Oh dear..." A bead of sweat went down her head as she watched them. "Oh that is all right. I just hope you'll be all right!" she said, taking the money and giving Thorn the necklace. "I hope she will like it!" Corina then said cheerfully.

[Deleted]

<sub>Crash watched in the distance once he was done helping as the others spoke up and started conversing, and he knew Thorn wasn't having a pleasant day. Crash felt a bit bad about tackling him down, though right now he was too short of attention span to really do anything about it. He started to admire the jewelry.

"So do you make all of these? They're really pretty." Eh well, Crahs made up for tackling him down by helping.</sub>

[Deleted]

Thorn couldn't help but chuckle. "Have no worry, I am like this on a day to day basis, I'll be fine... I hope she does too" He smiled looking down at the gift, before giving Anita a smile followed by him stepping out of the way of the counter. He became interested in what the new women had to say, did she make all them? If that was true it was rather impressive.
