Glancing over trinkets and the most god awful jewelry Lara had even seen, she bit back snarky comment after comment as her eyes took in everything the stall had to offer. Unimpressed, she moved away from the stall, going to move to the next one when she bumped into someone. She gave a crass "Aw fuck," before turning to the person she collided with, giving them a quick question of, "I'm so sorry, are you alright? You good?"

☀ 𓏬 The bazaar was one of his favorite ways to take a break. Kohza always enjoyed seeing the crowd of people shopping, both familiar faces and strange visitors. Sometimes he came here to chat up the citizens and check in on them, but today he was using his time to search for a gift.

     When the other bumped into him, he was standing at a booth that sold hairpins, completely hopeless at trying to figure out which one would be suitable. ❝No need to apologize, I am alright.❞ He turned his attention towards her now. ❝And you? Did you hurt yourself?❞

☀ 𓏬 He watched her with a sort of pride for the market. Glad to see another traveler want to give it a chance. It was always a shame when those who dock here simply wait for the log pose to reset without exploring the land. He believed if he were to ever set sail, it would be to explore other cultures.

He hesitated for a second. But in all honesty, help could be needed. He would like to believe he had a eye for a good gift. But it couldn't hurt to get a second opinion. Especially from another woman.

     ❝Perhaps. What do you think of this hair clip?❞ He showed off the one he had just picked up, thinking the design was rather elegant. ❝Would you consider it old fashioned?❞

[ 🤭🤭🤭🤭 v tentative 'attractive' bc she thinks shes like a solid 6 outta 10 lmfaaoo 😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

♞ 𓏬 She might be a bit young for him (almost a twenty year age gap). But he can appreciate her interest. He relies on personality matching ontop of the list before anything can be determined.

And she shouldn't sell herself short. It's a shame for her to rate herself low.

☀ 𓏬 He gave a smile to her response. A second look at the stalls in front of them, the target of her comments. He wasn't a jewelry person himself, always having a hard time picking out what is lovely versus tacky. But he felt like not everything here was completely hopeless.

     ❝There are always treasures hidden here though.❞ He picked up a hair claw he had been eyeing earlier. ❝You are not from here. I wouldn't rush through the bazaar, you never know what you might find.❞
