Happily Ever After
[Troubadour and Krichevskoy walk along the market stalls of a sprawling bazaar. Items and goods from many different dimensions have all gathered here, at a sort of multidimensional marketplace]
Ah! Krichevskoy! Look at this!
[he pulls the other man to a shop full of flowers, exotic and fantastical]
Ah! Krichevskoy! Look at this!
[he pulls the other man to a shop full of flowers, exotic and fantastical]

Oh...! These are quite beautiful.
[he debates the merits of buying seeds for a few of them, or even a pot of a few, but he has a feeling he'll just end up killing them. A green thumb he has not.]
no subject
Is there anything you might be looking for specifically while we're here?
no subject
[it's been difficult enough not buying about half the things here already]
no subject
no subject
At least all we need do is check the items for magic. [he's about to say more when they pass in front of a booth displaying all sorts of expertly crafted jewelry.] Oho...?
no subject
My...I don't believe this stone is from any world I know. Glorious!
no subject
And what quality! I have not seen craftsmanship like this in some time.
no subject
How...how strange...
no subject
You seem to have had those for awhile... How much are they?
[at the very least, he can see how they look cleaned]
no subject
They are a set, as you can see, and at a bargain for only 50,000 gold, or the equivalent exchange from your dimension.
[Troubadour elbows his way into view] Ah, but I was going to buy them, Krichevskoy!
no subject
[he looks over at the shopkeeper again] But... Only if some of that price is cut. They still need to be cleaned, after all. [he always wanted to try haggling. Not that a "no" is going to stop him from getting them anyway]
no subject
Meanwhile, the merchant snorts indelicately]
I got mouths to feed, pal! Cleaning would ruin the exquisite patina on these priceless heirlooms! But...well, I suppose I can let them go for 45. I can tell they're goin' to a pair that'll appreciate them, unlike the rest of these mooks.
no subject
Very well. 45,000 it is.
[he can always find more spectacular chokers elsewhere, but something about these rings just feels one of a kind. Or maybe that's just the feel of a successful haggle?]
no subject

no subject
[are flowers and shoujo bubbles popping out all around his head? Meanwhile the merchant glances between the two men with interest]
no subject
no subject
Ah, let's put them on now! I cannot wait a moment longer!
no subject
Not wanting to think about it any more, he pushes the thoughts out of his mind and holds the box out between the two of them.
Well... As long as he gets to wear one of these charming rings, it doesn't really matter in the end, does it?
An inscription on the inside of the lid of the wooden box catches his eye]
"For the adventurous?"
no subject
no subject
[he takes the other ring out, tucks the box away in a dimensional pocket, and then puts the ring on.
It bites at the skin near the base and he shakes his hand with a hiss of pain. He frowns and wipes away a bit of blood near the base of his finger] How...?
[he turns his hand over, but doesn't see anything that would pierce the skin, so he assumes it's just an unlucky coincidence. Besides, it looks nice on his finger, doesn't it? And it fits perfectly.]
no subject
no subject
[he sighs] Honestly, if it runs the risk of doing that, they should at least warn for it.
