merchent meeting (rosa,cinnamin,open)

[skyler1857]

I desided to find the spice shop and cinnamin maybe we would bump into a few other merchent kids too. I walked to the edge between seam and the merchent area when I realized i had no idea were the spice shop was I never had gone before even with my mom. "just great" I mummbled to myself I left tinna in charge and had no idea were i was going. So i just startes to walk like I did some times but this time I looked in windows and at signs trying to find the spice shop. I saw a shop without a house ontop so i went to see why then i noticed it was almost twice as long as a normal shop it had dark wood around two big windows and a door and to the side a bit i saw a tall pole that help up a sign that said spice shop. The pole had ivy growing to about half way and it had flowers on it. so i went in the shop door not caring if it was open or not "hello cinnamin its rosa are you here" I called after entering then a waft of ginger cinnamon mix found its way to me it was relaxing. then i walked over to a table by the left window a waft of dill meet my nose then chilly witch stug my nose. so I stepted away and went to the table by the other window were I smelled somthing sweet. "I wish i remembered to bring money" I told myself because the spice would have probly made tinna relax then I saw a sale sign above a small table it had two small bowls on it one im sure had some kind of cury in it and the other I had no idea what it was but it was strong sented but a strong soft smell.

I heard the door open and close when I was seaching for something underneath the front counter. I was making my share of racket, I finally found it, it was the stone grinder my mother gave me a while back. I popped up, not knowing someone had called my name.
"Ah ha!" I said, looking at the grinder, feeling like I accomplished some major quest.
I un-focused my attention from the grinder when I noticed Rosa was looking for me.

I smiled, she came. I thought she would never visit my shop. I waved at Rosa, while walking under the counter flap thing that generally opened up so the employees could get through, but I enjoyed going underneath it. I thought it was fun. I stood up, pulling down my shirt slightly.

"Rosa!" I said. "How are you doing?" I realize I was a little too enthusiastic but she did get me a customer who came in and bought many spices and things of the sort. The smell around me was normal, it stuck to me always, some people even thought I was wearing spice perfume, thinking I was richer. When people say those things, I just tell them 'it comes from working at a spice shop.' I'm comforted by the smell though, home, is what I call it. It's a comforting smell, to me anyway. [/color]

"rosa, how are you doing" I heard cinnamin ask "good whats this spice" I replyed and pointed at the soft strong smelling spice on the sale table "I think tinna would like it" I added then I saw a picture on the wall "whos that" I asked her the picture wasent that big actuly it was kinda small and was probly the first picture I had ever saw that detailed "were do you live you dont have a house upstairs" I then asked as I walked around the shop. I tended to talk alot more then needed. then I cought another strong waft of cilly so I rumed my nose "oh and do you want go for a walk or somthing" I asked

[dragona]

Rosa pointed at the spice table and asked what the spice was, then followed up by making a comment about her sister. I told her that the spice was cinnamon. She then asked me who's picture was on the wall and where I lived because there wasn't a second floor.
"Oh that's my dad," I say. "And I live back there" I beckoned towards the back of the counter where a door was and added a little fact. "We also make the spices back there as well,"

Rosa started to walk around the shop and I realized how much she was actually talking, I was kind of surprised, when I first met her, she wasn't this chatty but I decided it was probably who she was.
"Oh and do you wanna go for a walk?" Rosa asked.
I thought for a second. Who was going to man the shop? I certainly couldn't if I was away. That's when I remembered who was in the house. Maybe mom could handle the shop, she didn't generally do it because she had to take care of the boys but I could ask.
"Stay right here, I'll be back," I say, running into the back.
I look around and call for mom, she replies back and I find her in the kitchen.
"Mom could you look after the shop please?" I ask.
"Oh, sweety, I have to-," That's when I cut her off.
"They can take care of themselves, can't they?"
My older little brother called into the kitchen from the living room, "No! We can't"
"Stop eavesdropping, twerp!" I yell, getting angry.
"Hey, stop fighting you two," My mother pleaded. "I can look after the shop for you,"
"Thanks," I say and run back out to tell Rosa I could go.[/color]

Cinnamin had run into the back, she had told me somthing about that she lived back thare but i wasent realy listening. (opps) then she came back and told me she could go "great" I replyed then we left. Maybe we could go to the seam or to a few other shops or that place I herd a few kids talk about the lob, hob but it sounded scary so i dident want to mention it "so were do you want to go?" I asked her as if she had planed the entire thing i stuck my hand in my poket and found out I had 10 coins so i checked the other one 1 coin. Wait I was still wearing my apron i checked it it had 29 coins for my family i reminded myself but i took 9 of the coinds out then put them back and took out one then put it back "cinnamin can you help me make sure I dont spend the entire days earnings of 29 coins please" I asked her then put the single coin in my apron so I wasent temted to give it away like i had before then I saw a shop with no sign but one that said open but i dident say anything. I dident know if she had any coins but just to be nice i grabed the coin i put in my apron and an extra one and handed them to her "here take them its a gift because I wuld realy like a little bit of spice when we get back and your my friend" I told her shoving them to her

[dragona]

"Great," She said.
I smiled and we walked out the door, she asked me where I wanted to go. I wasn't sure at all about this, so I just shrugged, unsure whether she saw that or not. We were outside of the building now and Rosa was looking through her apron. I wasn't really paying too much attention when she shoved some coins to me.
"Here, take them, it's a gift because I would really like a little bit of spice when we get back and you're my friend,"

I smiled even more this time, I had made a friend! I really have been lonley these past years and to have a friend now felt nice inside. I was happy.
I couldn't quite remember but I think she said something about not letting her spend a full day's earnings on things, I wasn't sure. Just in case, I'll follow that, even if I am wrong.

"Hey, I'm not sure where to go so...do have an idea?" I ask, hoping she might have an idea.
That's when I come up with an idea, we could go to different merchant places to see what else they have around. I hesitated before saying something,
"We could go to different stores to see different things...you wanna do that?"
I wasn't sure what her answer would be but this is what I felt like doing today.[/size]

[skyler1857]

"hey im not so sure do you have an idea,We could go to different stores to see different things...you wanna do that?"
she asked "yay sure were do you want to go first we could vist my uncle if I knew were his shop was" I tols her. I realy had no idea were his shop was he came to vist some times but never let me or even tinna know were his shop was dad knew but he never told us ether. "hey why dont we check out that one" I sugested pointing a candy shop that was bigger on the bottom then the top with lots of signs in the widows. one of the signs said candy shop another said open that one i payed most atention to said cheep prices good quality all welcome but koler "hey isent that funny my brother banned from that shop" I comented. I realy hoped we could go in I realy had to make up to tinna for leaving her in charge of the shop and the boys and she did love to cook but also she loved caramel it was what mom gave her on her last birthday befor she had died but tinna loved even more now "I need to make up to tinna" I told her before I realized she had no I dea why "I need to because I left her with the boys and the shop shes also a little bit upset too and she loves caramel" i finnished telling her my thought. we were friends now I could do that right

[dragona]

I wasn't paying much attention to Rosa at the moment but when my mind stopped flipping through everything, she asked if we could go into a candy shop that looked pretty interesting. The candy inside also looked quite yummy, I did love candy but rarely got it anymore. The only time I got it was when I was younger, after my dad came back from walking around in town.
I smiled, while nodding.
"I miss eating candy," I laugh in joy and wanted to go into the candy store right away.

Rosa said a couple more things that I wasn't particularly interested in because the candy shop was too distracting. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I think she said something about her little brother getting banned from the candy shop. I was surprised, people generally didn't get banned from shops here, everyone was just a little more happy and gentle here in the merchant's area.
"Okay, I think we should get going now," I say, starting to walk up to the candy store.

I grabbed Rosa's arm and tugged her a little bit and said, "Come on!"
I felt like a small child wanting to go to a candy store, and that's just where I was wanting to go so bad. I smiled and just to add the extra oomph I got down on my knees, put my hands together and pleaded,
"Pleeeaaase?"
I started to laugh and my smile was almost ear-to-ear wide. I got up and flung my hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes.

"No, seriously, can we go in there now?" I asked in a serious tone of voice, then started to smile again. I was having a great time and I think I made a great new friend, a best friend that is.[/size]

cinnamin started beging me to go in "ok lets go I was just thinking why koler would be banned but never mind that lets go" I told her then walked in. I went strait to the caramel "thares so many kinds" I commented I grabed a few of each kind well not of a few that were really expencive then when to the choclate I got A little bit for me. then I saw a sign on the wall it was fadded but under it was some hard candys I took a few. I got quite a bit of cany from around the store then whent to the counter it had a scale I put the candy on it. The amount it eguiled was seven coins "wow seven coins" I said I took out seven and waited for the shop owner.

[dragona]

Rosa was explaining to me what she was thinking before we set off into the candy store when I caught a large whiff of yummy candy which was in the store. We walked through the door, and like almost any door we set off a bell, only this one sounded softer - more quiet - than the others. I liked this bell. This one didn't make tons of noise like the one I had in my family's shop.
"There's so many kinds," Rosa comments.
I nod and look around in amazement. She starts looking around and I decide to stop and smell the air in the shop for a bit.

I finished sniffing and walk over to some hard candies and see all different kinds, and shapes. There were strawberry squares, toffee triangles, cherry circles, orange ovals, lemon spheres and a couple more flavors and shapes. I looked around and saw a small paper baggie, just what I was looking for. I stuck a few strawberry squares and lemon spheres in the baggie and close it up. I turn around, by now Rosa was over at chocolate. I walked over to her.

"Make sure you're not spending too much now...," I smile.
I haven't had this much fun in so long, it was really nice to be hanging around with someone about my age. I grab a couple chocolates from the bucket in front of me, the description card said: A small chocolate cube with ooey gooey caramel inside!
I couldn't wait till I got to stick my hand inside and plop one in my mouth.
"These look good, don't they?" I say, not really expecting an answer, knowing they do in fact look good.

A little bit of time passed and I followed Rosa to a scale at the counter, she had gotten a few things and it all rounded up to seven coins. I knew mine would be a little more costly because I got a couple more things. In my pocket I had about 15 coins but I really didn't want to spend all of it just on candy. Rosa was done with the scale, my turn, I set my bag on the scale and I have to pay 10 coins for all of my stuff.

Both Rosa and I waited for the shopkeeper. 5 minutes passed when I noticed a bell we could ring to get service, I tapped it with my hand and a couple seconds later I see a man walk through a door. He started to walk to the counter and spoke to us.
"How may I help you today?"
"My friend and I," I indicate to both of us and continue. "We'd like to buy some candy,"

He nods then I turn my sight toward Rosa and ask her a question.
"You wanna go first?"[/size]

"oh um sure here seven coins" I told the clerk "no eight" he told me "I only took seven coins worth" I argued "no eight because you have to pay for you brother" He told me "what did he do" I asked "he stole a coin worth of candy the good stuff" He told me "so he ate a chocolate" I told him "two" he corected me "talk to my dad or I could paint a sign for you" I told him "sign or coin I take sign five coins please" He replyed "five I thought it was here five coins" I gave him the five coins "and hers is six coins if you have your sister paint one too" He told me "done" I ended it "cinnamin am I good or what" I comrnted "wait my sister great um dude can I take her a pice of caramel" I asked him "yes yes any kind only one though" He told me I went to the most expensive kind and put it in my bag
