 Bri was slinking along around the market, checking out the different stalls. Most people did not notice her, red hair hidden under a kerchief, in tattered plain clothes. She put on her best "busy" expression and rushed away whenever walking in the crowd, and moved from hiding spot to hiding spot. Fairies, like humans, don't notice what does not concern them. And it was making for the start of a decent day.
Bri saw her sister's meet up signal from the bushes where she was hiding. She was the quieter of the two, so Aespe had been the obvious choice to send to barter, but Bri had kept herself busy as well. She smiled thinking of the scavenged food she hid down her loose shift. As she got close to Aespe and they were hidden from view from the majority of people (or at least those who might care) she handed over a roll, and helped herself to another. Some might consider it stealing, but she thought of it more as surviving. Besides the clueless pastry woman had not even noticed. She smiled, thinking herself at least a bit clever. Her face turned stern at Aespe's words. They could not live forever off stolen pastries, under shade of trees to sleep by. "Well, it was worth a try" she said consolingly, though it comes out a bit muffled around the bite of food she had just taken. She considers Aespe's next words carefully. Pirates, at least in their old home, had been bad. They stole the stuff others worked so hard to get. Their language was foul and they raided small villages, taking as they desired. In that aspect, they were not exactly unlike pirates. They took what they could get away with. But as a living? "Are ye sure tha's the best option?" she says with a slight grimace. "It's back on the ocean, and we just got off!" Not that it mattered. Land here did not seem scarce, and she was a bit queasy with how still the shore was. She almost missed the salted breeze, and turning tides. And freedom. She liked the sound of freedom. "I suppose we can at least try it." She surrendered to the idea. It was not hard to convince her. As long as she was with Aespe, she could be happy. "What did he tell you?" she queried a bit doubtfully. Certainly they would kill him as easily as others if he became a liability, so she doubted he was that much of a sieve of information. "I suppose we could start looking along the shore, if no where else." Not that she was sure pirates would want two scrawny half-grown girls. But best to think of those problems later.  |
