—————
Guest is at their stall selling silks and textures (fabrics)
Her stall is busy with customers, mostly women
I walk through the crowd with my two guards behind me. Irritated that I had to come..
I see a stall crowded and it slightly caught my attention from the corner of my eye.
(Inner monologue: wait?.. who is that?.. their really.. NO!.. just keep walking!… well.. it wouldn’t hurt to look…. Maybe my Mother might like something… yeah.. I should at least look..)
My eyes cant stop flickering to her face. Stealing glances
Customer: I would like these two.
Of course, two bronze Cowrie. I smile politely
