<span style="font-weight:400">Keith went to the town circle; the girl told him they would meet there. I can ask her about this after all. He took a deep sigh as he stared at the sky.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" Carolyn called out, "Did you wait long?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, I didn''t want too long. You look cute in that outfit." Carolyn was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and some pants. It was refreshing and easy on the eyes. She also had her hair done in a ponytail as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn smiled, "Thank you,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you want to do first?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"For starters, how about we look around the stalls. I heard they have some interesting items. Also, we could go there before we watch the yter." There was quite some time before the y started.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, let''s do that." The two started to walk over to the stalls.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s been quite some time since we hung out, just the two of us."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because there''s a lot of people who want to hang out with you." Keith was quite the busy man; his schedule was filled up left and right with people.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ooo, this looks interesting!" Carolyn stared at a bunch of hats. They were all colorful and lovely.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Try anything you want, Miss." The hawker waved. Carolyn took a hat off the rack, "What do you think about this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go with this color instead." Keith took something off the rack; it was the same style as the one the girl wore but a lighter color instead.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The style suits you, but the color is too dark. You''re going to die on a sunny day."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pff," Carolynughed, "You sound like a grandpa!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because I actually am!" Keith started to stroke his non-existent beard.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn shook her head as she wore it, "What do you think now?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"10 out of 10." His fingers were raised as heplimented, "We''ll take this," Keith handed the coins.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I can pay."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You can pay for our ticketster. And I can tell you really like this one."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You tend to choose things based on eyesight." The moment that girl glimpsed around, he knew what she wanted.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"….I don''t."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Woman, I know you more than anyone else. You do that a lot." Like the back of his hand, Keith knew Carolyn''s ques individually. One of them was her eyes. Whenever she entered a store, her eyes would stare at something she wanted much longer than the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"If you didn''t like it, you could have gotten the other hat," There was that as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn hid her face behind the hat, "…How do you know so much about me? Do you always stare at me so much?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because you''re my childhood friend."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Carolyn held the hat before Keith questioned, "What''s the matter?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing, let''s go and shop some more!" Carolyn grabbed his hand and dragged him to the next store. The next one was pretty weird, as there were a lot of trinkets around.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s this ring?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, you have a good eye, youngdy! That''s a color ring. Try wearing it," The hawker smiled. Carolyn did so, and when she injected mana,
<span style="font-weight:400">"My hair color changed!" Her silver hair was now a beautiful brown.
<span style="font-weight:400">"With this ring, you can change your hair and eye color anytime."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...How much does it cost?" Price was something he needed to figure out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"1 gold coin."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What the? That''s robbery," Wasting coins was something that Keith was in for unless it was worth it. This was not worth it. Carolyn agreed, "What else can you do for us?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about this? I''ll throw in another ring and also a change mask. That''ll be 15 silver coins."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the change mask?" "It''s a mask that can change into any mask you like."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...." Do we really need something like that? Before Keith could retort, "I''ll take them!" She didn''t hesitate as she handed the coins over.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are you sure?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I quite like something like this. You can have the mask."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." What am I going to do with this?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Where do you want to go?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I was thinking about going to a gardening store. I need to buy some flowers."
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn blinked, "Eh? I didn''t peg you to be such a flower lover."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, that''s because I n to have a garden full of them in my perg." Keith nned to nt some on the outer perimeter of the ind so Bei and the dragon bees could feast. The other was to set an amazing ambiance for the perg.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Carolyn giggled as the two headed into the shop. It was run by an elf, "Hello, Boss. What would you like to have?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have any colorful flowers? Also, can I see the scentful ones as well?" Aromatic flowers were excellent as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, pleasee this way," The elf then let him over to some fresh flowers.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You know the guy?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, yeah. He''s a regr at my cart." Keith had a lot of ownersing to his cart to get something to eat. With Alfia and Scarlet there, things were quite calming. Over time, he got to know them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please choose whatever you can. The scented ones are on the right." The elf smiled. Keith nodded and started to look through them, "Oh, don''t you think this one is good?"
<span style="font-weight:400">What Keith had picked up was a green flower. It was a vibrant emerald green like the shade of his eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s called a Verde Leven."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? I think you should pair it up with something like this," Carolyn then picked up a purple flower, "Your ind is already quite green; you should mix the flowers up so it doesn''t blend in."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, you picked the one with your eye color. Typical." Keith chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf! Pot calling the kettle ck!" He did the same thing as well!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…." "Pff." "Hehe." The twoughed, "Guess we''re too basic. But the colorposition is nice/" Carolyn and Keith had always picked their go-to.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Carolyn thought, "Um, don''t you think this is a little odd?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Doesn''t it look kinda poisonous?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith nced at his flower and then at Carolyn''s. He kept doing this for a good minute. Now that she mentioned it, they''re both pretty dark-colored flowers. Putting them around the perg,
<span style="font-weight:400">Yeah, it would look kinda poisonous. Keith would have to put a do not touch sign outside.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We should get something different." Keith asked the elf, "Do you have a lighter green and purple?" He liked the colorbination. Only the darkness was the problem.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course! Would these two be fine?" It didn''t take a second before the elf brought out some flowers. Thank goodness you pointed that out, Girl. He also thought the colorbination was quite a venomous sight in any ce.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great!" Keith pped, "We need to pick out a couple more."
<span style="font-weight:400">"How many are you nning to nt?" Carolyn tilted her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"A good amount; I think we will have a rainbow flower field. We''re going to have multiple flowerbos." Keith grinned. He definitely wants it to be nice and colorful.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, I need to get the seed of that flower."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick kept whining about wanting to raise those nts again." Whining, more begging, and crying. It seemed he wanted to do it again. And he didn''t mind.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, we''ll see Herrick with a bottle again." The Herrick bottle arc was about to ur again.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, you got yourself a good idea for things like this."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Mmhmm." Carolyn nodded as she continued to help him pick.
