Welcome to Gaia! ::

Today Shenra was going with her grandmother to the tailor shop. Today there was no school, and her mother excused her from her lessons at home to go be with her grandparents as they went shopping in the heart of the city. Sometimes she was treated to an ice, so she behaved extra well when she went with them.

Today she was with her grandmother though, and they were going to get material and things to make the new babies, her twin brother and sister, new blankets and clothes. Also, grandma was going to make gowns for them to be presented to the priests of Seren for blessings, and also a new dress for Shenra. While she didn't like formal wear, she would wear the new gown for her brother and sister.

All in all it was to be a fun expedition!

They entered the shop, the bell above the door tinkling, and alerting the proprietors to customers. Like most other times, there weren't that many people in the shop, and it was quiet, as if the whole shop was being kind and letting people think about what they wanted to buy.

Grandma went right to work getting the material she needed, however, Shenra looked around and tried to find the right pattern and color she liked the best.

What would be good enough for her brother and sister's presentation? She loved her brother and sister so much she wanted to look perfect. Blue? Gold? Flower print? Swirls? Plain? There were so many choices!

Shenra looked at the young orderite who looked to be around her age. She must be the shop owner's daughter, Shenra thought.

After her grandmother asured the girl she needed no help, and went back to her chore, Shenra smiled and waved to her. She needed help badly.

"Hi!" Shenra said smiling, "Grandma needs white cloth and thread for my baby brother and sister. They will be presented to the priests soon and need gowns for that." She smiled even more and said, "Grandma said I could pick out material for myself as well to be made into a dress I can wear when we go." Shenra wrinkled her nose, "I don't like formal wear, but I'll do it for my brother and sister!" She then felt a small frown form and said, "But I don't know what kind of material I want." She looked around and saw all sorts of pretty cloths, colors, and patterns, "It's hard to make a decision... I want to look good for my brother and sister..."

Shenra could style together one of the more fashionable ensembles, but when it came to anything but the tinker style she liked, she had no clue as to what she was doing.

"Oh!" Shenra said remembering, and giving the girl a large smile, "I'm Shenra!"

Shenra always loved meeting new people. She smiled and stuck out her hand in greeting. It always gave her a good feeling inside when she met a new person.
