A Strange Jewelry Shop

[Knight Errant]

"Riiiight... do you have any statuary or figurines? Also... where did that old man go?"

[Nikki]

"I only sell jewelry sir and he left out he back." Nikki tells Dact. "I think I have something in your price range." she takes out a necklace with a girl in the position a cross.

[Harri-chan]

"And she won't think I'm trying to be her boyfriend or anything, right?", asked Elliot with a concerned expression as he reached into the pocket of his shorts and pulled out some notes and coins. "How much is it?".

[Feng]

(Seriously...)

If Bones could glare at the oblivious Knight she would but...

(This place is full of anthropomorphic jewelry located on the shifty part of a town known for transformations. The old man disappears in the back with the proprietor, only for the owner to return with a new mermaid shaped gem stone? WHERE DO YOU THINK I AM STUPID?!?)

[Nikki]

"I doubt she will." Nikki replies as she hands him the necklace. "That will be fine. Can I get you anything else?

[Knight Errant]

Dact hrmms... "Well how about that?" He points at the ruby mermaid pendant formerly Bones.

[Feng]

(.... .... I retract my previous statement. Maybe this knight is perceptive enough after all...)

She turns her focus to Elliot.

(You on the other hand are paddling up a certain creek... -_-)

[Harri-chan]

Elliot shook his head, leaving the money on the counter. Taking the necklace, he studied it for a moment, and then slipped it into his pocket. "That's all I can afford... I'm sacrificing three weeks of comics and arcade time for this... I hope she likes it".

[Nikki]

"Alright then have a nice day." Nikki says to Elliot.

"That is a new piece." Nikki replies. "I haven't had time to price it yet. Perhaps I could interest you in something custom made."

[Knight Errant]

"Well?" He asks the proprietor, who seemed to have not noticed his question.

[Harri-chan]

Elliot lingered, watching Dact question the red-haired shop assistant about the mermaid ruby she had with her. "A new piece? You knew we were out here waiting... why were you in the back making new pieces?".

[Feng]

(Don't fall for it Chevalier! It's obviously a trap...)

[Knight Errant]

"Price is not a question, and I am interested in that. As for custom, do you have anything depicting dragons?"

[Nikki]

"I was also assisting a customer" Nikki tells Elliot,slightly wondering why he is still there. She turns to Dact. "I think so. Why don't you come to be with me?"

[Knight Errant]

"... no thanks. I'm fine here. And you shouldnt display something you arent intending to sell."
