Elizabeth was relieved that she got included in the little group so quickly. As she was new, she decided to listen to the conversations and took a sip of her orange juice. That was her way of getting to know new people. She waved Snow and her new friend Nik a short good-bye when they left, feeling a little bit insecure, being the only one of her house on the table again, but she quickly noticed that there was no reason to feel nervous as the group seemed really nice. When there was a silent moment when the others were eating, she decided to introduce herself as it seemed rather impolite to just sit there and say nothing. Manners mattered to her pretty much and took off her beanie, although she didn't have to. "I'm Elizabeth, by the way", she said and half-smiled.
(OOC; sorry, I must admit that I was playing Pokemon the whole day. :'D )
[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/P4yiyjd.png[/img] Gaia smiled at Elizabeth () "Toodooloo" Gaia giggled, waved and smiled at the girl "Thank you for joining us! I know personally I can be a little overwhelming at first. Do you have any particular places you want to go shop at?"
((LOL Totally did not mean it as a goodbye! I forgot to add my question! thanks for catching that!))
((It's okay I have been building a house on Sims XD))

Nik looked thoughtful " well, you know, it's commercialism, its produced the attitude of use it once, toss it away when it's no longer what you want, get another one. But," he laughed, his eyes twinkling, "don't get me started on that subject."
"Oh, are you alright ?" he said, looking down at her, concerned. "We can slow down our walking to a meander, if you like," he said, grinning. " I don't mind, it's more time I get to spend with you 'alone' "
The his eyes hardened. "he sent you the money back..? what an ungrateful little bas..." he abruptly cut himself off, and continued the tirade in his head. She was tired, and didn't need to hear his rant. Bloody kids.

((Okay it is my first time doing a Cajun accent so please bear with me here and because of the only English I have to keep from using too many French words! Brigit and Benjamin are my favorite couple!))
(( Hey hun! you can always catch up with us if you want! ...Elizabeth was staying...you knew that right? or where you just being gooby. LOL XD and playing other games is fine...Im all over the place..serious drain on sP here))
Snow looked up at him. "Its going to take time for me to get used to your creeperiness." she chuckles "and well it was a nice letter, he apologized and all and knows Im having a hard day as well. They arent bad kids...just..sometimes trying." Snow was a forgiving person, she knew people had their own stuff to deal with. She looked at Nik "I like to use things till they can no longer function for their original purchase, then see if I can turn it into something new. I like quality in a product. So I hope that makes sense."
Snow slowed a bit. "Its just sometimes..all the interaction is a drain on me. I hope that makes sense and then Im coming off a cold or flu or something."
Snow looked to the pretty lady with the Cajun accent promoting candles. She hadnt had a decorative candle in years. "Hello, what can you tell me about your candles?"
Snow still held Niks hand looking intrigued"

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/KXA6dWB.png [/img]"Follo me to ma cart. I haf all sort' of candles. It is by the tre' lot. My husband mans the lot while I sell candles." She was fast for an older lady, but then she had just gotten her pastries and coffees from the tea place.
()

Nik laughed "Well, yes, you do. Being creeper-y is a big part of who and what I am. "
Nik listened to Snow and nodded as she talked about using items until their original use was gone, and then finding a new use for them. "yes, that makes perfect sense."
Nik stopped with Snow when they heard the lady selling candles. He was happy to head over to her wares and see what she had to offer. He loved candles.

((shovels her food into her mouth so she can type!! NOM NOM NOM))
She followed the lady and Nik over. "Oh! we were looking for the tree lot as well! its been a while sense Ive looked at candles, not just for practical uses..." She had excitement in her eyes.

~ Fade shook his head in response to Snow’s question, () wishing it were so simple as a spell. “Not exactly, I have a condition. Er, well I guess they call it an ability here.” He used air quotes around the word ability. “I’m a metamorphmagus like my grandmother. Only I’m not really all that good at being one…” Since black was the color topic at hand he focused on it and his hair washed from a soft blue to midnight black, all except the two blonde streaks in the very front, now extremely noticeable. “I can sorta change my face up, but I can’t keep it that way for very long… Hands are easier, but…” He held up his left hand and it seemed to change and elongate until it more closely resembled a werewolves long clawed paw. As his eyes moved away it quickly it change back. “Yeah like I said, not the best.” His hair had begun to change as well, assuming a greyish tone before becoming a soft blue with silver undertones once again.
It was cool of to pay for their food, but Fade still felt a little guilty about it, like he usually did when anyone did anything nice for him. “See you guys.” He gave a short wave and turned to finish the last of his deliciously fizzy and very free drink.
He was getting pretty full, and the idea of walking off the stuffed feeling was starting to appeal more and more to him. Only at the risk of seeming rude, he leaned back in his chair and took in the conversation around him. When the quiet girl Elizabeth spoke up and introduced herself he smiled. “I’m Fade. Nice to meet’cha.”
(( did you get sun or moon? I have moon and it is soooo much fun. But yes, very time consuming X3 ))
((A new art vendor has been added to the Stalls.))
((We can leave the restaurant whenever you guys want. I am sure Gaia looks like a taco now.))
( )
(( ))
((I know this is back at the table! LOL))
Snow watched enthralled "Wow! thats really neat! I think you are doing quite well...do you find yourself changing with your emotions? I havent read much on metamorphmagi, from what I understand they are quite rare. Oh! and do those light streaks always stay the same? Like a birthmark?" she felt a little embarrassed being fascinated, but she couldnt help it. You can always read a book and get the jest of a power, but meeting someone with it, gives you the opportunity to actually ask some of the more unusual questions, politely of course. She still wanted to ask what hair products she used and if it was hard having so much of it. She always looked so shiny and soft though.
When Snow and Nik left she seemed tired but happy. "Just need some fresh air, enjoy the nuts!"
(Back at the candle shop and tree lot)
Snow looked at the different holders. "Do you use all different types of wax? I know bees used to be popular but with the declining in the species..." she trailed off. "Oh! Do you have those salt or crystal holders? I hear they are great." Duddits was trying to mimic the ladies lovely laughter.
"You can get lost in the tree lot?" this had also peeked Snows curiosity.
[img align=right]https://i.imgur.com/lCJSVpA.gif[/img]

Nik looked at the candle holders and thought about custom candles. He would love to have some personalized scent ones made for himself.
"yes, if you have some of those himi salt candle holders, I would be interested as well, and do you do personalized scents..?"
Nik looked at the candle lady. "How is it that you can get lost in a tree lot..? It is like some sort of twisted holiday maze or something..? Is there a charge to walk through it..? " Nik's eagerness for something unusual was clearly showing, and he gave Snow a quick smile before he turned back to the lady.
EDIT:
Just then, Nik's phone rang. Annoyed, he looked to see who was calling, and it was his Mother. He let it go to voice mail. After a minute, it rang again, and it was his Mother again.
"Excuse me, Snow, I have to take this..." and he walked away, clearly yelling "WHAT !! " when he answered the phone. He lit a cigarette and paced back and forth, agitated. "Well, that's not MY bloody problem, is it..?" and began grumbling about in Russian, every once in awhile yelling. Finally he hung up with a loud expletive in Russian, and stormed back over.
"I'm sorry, I have to go. Mother has...a situation...that I have to help her with." Nik handed her a bunch of galleons and said "buy yourself something nice, I'll not get a chance to get that kiss after all.." and walked away.

(( I am going to bed and won't be back till tomorrow night! I will catch up then :D going to watch Fantastic Beasts!))
((There is a tree section in the lot where the trees move and regrow. You can use reducto on a tree and you can watch it grow. The solution to not having to cut all the trees. Benjamin is a Squib so he can't do magic, so if you get lost I will come get you tomorrow XD))
She made her way from the nut stand toward the group of pines, cedars and firs. She could smell the fresh tangy scent even through the cold winter air. She tightened her scarf and rubber her nose. It was getting really cold out. She wanted to check at the supply of trees as the season for them was nearly here and she wasnt sure she would be going home this year.
(OOC: Hopefully this catches up with everything over the last two days! )
Paddy waved as and Harper () entered the restaurant, blushing slightly at the compliment Alarico gave as he handed over a bowl of food for Snowden. "Thanks," she said, trying not to sound too confused (very few people compliment her appearance), "the food is delicious by the way," she added as he headed back to the kitchen. She placed the food in front of Snowden and laughed as the pup started eating, bits of food flying off to the side in his eagerness. "Slow down a bit" she said, trying to not get the table (and everyone else) covered with food, "there's plenty of time to eat it all!"
As she flicked a piece of beef from her hair, she noticed another student enter the restaurant - the girl looked a bit uncertain, so Paddy smiled in the hope that the crowd of students wouldn't put her off staying there. She didn't recognise the girl, but guessed from her green top that she might be a Slytherin ().
Sipping the cranberry juice and carbonated lemon, she wondered why nobody else had ever thought of making a drink like that before - it was tons better than the pumpkin juice she was used to. She almost didn't spot the white haired wolf-eared girl and the boy return to the restaurant, but when they joined the table, she gave them a small smile and went back to eating. The food was too good to worry about potential disagreements just now.
One thing did distract her from her food though, and that was the sight of what must have been a recent Hogwarts graduate entering the restaurant. He caught her eye, and she was ready for some snarky comment, or some other mention of her fur, but he just looked flustered. She realised she must have been staring, and looked away just as he began blushing. Certain that he must've been looking at someone else rather than her, she finished off her tacos and lifted Snowden down from the booster.
"This shopping won't do itself," she said to the group with a laugh, "I'm gonna head to the Broomstix Pop-up shop before Snowden eats every bit of food they have here!" She didn't really expect anyone else to want to leave the restaurant quite so soon, but she wanted to keep an eye out for Magnus and Kat as well, and she didn't think they'd return to Las Palmas. "Nice meeting you," she added to Elizabeth, before stepping back into the main street.

() “Unfortunately.” Fade's nose wrinkled at the notion that he was so easily readable, but there wasn’t anyone to blame but himself. If it was really that big of an issue he could charm his hair to stay the same, similar to the way his mother dyed it when he was younger before he learned of his magical abilities. Snow’s second complement caused Fade to blush again but his hair remained unchanged. “N’ yeah, the front bits never change, even if I like, really focus on it.” He frowned slightly. “But I have been practicing a lot since coming to school here, I mean, when I’m not studying or making up exams.” For a Ravenclaw he really wasn’t the best academically, he had to work very hard for his marks.
Paddy was packing up her things and Fade wondered if he should tag along with her. But for some reason he felt like he should stick around Las Palamas a bit longer. Still he did a double check to make sure his parcel from earlier wasn’t misplaced. Perhaps he should have brought a sack or something to keep it in. Maybe a shop in town would have something charmed to hold more than it looked like it should.
(( Im sorry if we "Poof" regarding Nik and I, as our characters, we are still tweaking our characters so that we are happy with what we created, smacking ourselves for jumping in so quickly to the rp while feeling shaky in said characters, and not trying to throw anyone off. Hopefully we will be back soon after driving Gaia nuts...once again. We apologize, we just have never seriously forum rp'ed and are converting our brains over from how we usually rp, to this ,as well as dealing with normal real life. <3 Thank you all...we are enjoying interacting with all your characters.))

Magnus and Katsumi ate their breakfast under the warm tree. It was nice. Magnus had relaxed again and they meandered back to Hogsmede. Since Magnus really wanted to go to the bookstore, and Katusmi was avoiding the place so she had money they agreed to meet up later.
He hoped he'd find Fade (), Gaia and Paddy (). And hopefully if he wandered in Snow's or Nik's path that things would go better this time.
On the way to the bookshop, because he was taking in the ambiance of the town, Magnus found the antique vendor and wondered over to it. Maybe he could find some presents there?
(Nik and Fable, no worries guys :) take your time. I included you in the post in case you are ready)
((YAAASSS NEW VENDOR!))
[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/P4yiyjd.png[/img]"Meet you at the Holiday Stall in an hour!" Gaia called after "I think she has a good idea though, we should get started on our shopping if we want to stop in all the shops. I'll be back in a minute or two. I need to get some of my money." She turned to Harper () "Will you be safe for a few minutes while I get my money?" smacking Aquilino in the back of the head and laughing. "Want to come shopping with us?" She asked Fade () and Elizabeth () "I don't have a set list so I am good going anywhere you want to go!"
() [img align=left] http://i.imgur.com/DQZlKRs.png [/img]"Hello there. Can I interest you in an antique? Perhaps a gift for yourself? a girrrrlfriend?" He stretch that word in a seductive way, eerily and inviting, Chrisof was a very old...soul...
"Don't know," Magnus said, "Whatcha got? I already 'ave me girlfriend something though, thanks." The way he spoke though... Magnus thought it was odd... something was different about the bloke. Still he seemed nice so he smiled. "I really 'aven't got a clue what to buy for me parents or me auror adult friend."
