But before she went to the market she saw Malian, the grace and handsome serpent, she strode up to him. "Are you going to do anything before the meeting?" Ithu-Riel asked.

Malian nodded. "Yes." He said softly, he grinned at Ithu-Riel. "Are you exhausted from the dance?" He asked. "I am.." He leaned forward. "Wanna rest together?"

"I could use... a break...." Ithu-Riel said unsure of what Malian meant specifically.

"Would you like to spend it with me, or would you mind to spend the break with me?" Malian said with a soft whisper, he held his hand out.

Ithu-Riel flinched slightly, but she backed away, her mind flashed back to that dark alley all those years ago... "I am sorry, I remembered I have to meet a friend at the market! We will have to meet again sometime....." Ithu-Riel apologized. She had wanted to go look at the various goods they had there.....

Malian nodded. "That is okay." He said softly. "I hope you enjoy talking to your friend." He ran his hand though his hair, and tickled one of the serpents, it hissed in pleasure.

Ithu-Riel did not want to go with the serpentine, but he was being so kind and she did not want to hurt his feelings. "Lets go look around at the market to see what they have then!" Ithu-Riel said. Hoping that she would magically run into her friend, though since they actually had not planned to meet up it was unlikely. She took Malian's hand.

Malian smiled gently. "Don't feel as if you need to go with me out of politeness." He muttered.

"Who else would i go with? Besides i approached you because i wanted to be with someone and you seem nice!" Ithu-Riel "I love your hair by the way..... So lively...." She said admiring it. She really did want to hang out with Malian, but she did not want him getting any ideas......

A snake came to Ithu-Riel and nuzzled her. "It's like it has a mind of it's own." Malian joked. "On bad days you should see the bites people that go near me get."

Ithu-Riel Nuzzled the snake back, the beautiful reptile with its copper red scales... "Awww it just needs some attention!.... Well lets get going! We can't get to the market by standing here!" Ithu-Riel half walked and half dragged on Malian's hand. It was rare that she got to meet new people, especially ones with great hair... Ithu-Riel did not like being so bubbly like this but it was the only way she could get going to the market...

Malian smiled. "They are all attention seekers, thank god I don't need to feed them all.. by hand.." He seemed to be happily dragged along. "Right here to first? The clothing or the perfumes?" He asked.

"Hmmm.... I don't want to bore you, why don't we see what they have and if neither of us sees something we must have then we just leave. Does that sound okay....? " Ithu-Riel asked not wanting to force Malian into anything he did not want to do. "Is there anywhere in particular you want to go?" She asked "I am fine with almost anything!"

"I am fine with anything." Malian smiled. "Just pick a place and go." He sighed.

Vlynt left the group, and searched the streets, "What should I do? So boring..."

Ithu-Riel had settled on an alchemist's shop, she cared little for finery and jewelry as she was a noble and needed nothing more than she already had. But potions, poisons a salves had always interested her, she browsed the wares.

Malian watched Ithu-Riel browse the wares. Smart.. Do something she wishes to do. He though proudly. He looked over the wares himself, taking up a facade of being interested.

Aethir leaned against a wall and watched the crowd. After a few minutes, he relaxed and began wandering the market.
