"Decree that information to me, did he not." The back of Anyan's shiny bald pate was to her, and his shoulders were stiff, showing no emotion. "Said he, you must come. That was all."

Lanen looked around at the men surrounding her and knew that there would be no escape for her. With her chin held high in defiance she looked at Anyan. "Fine." She said to him. She would go but not lightly. The moment it was just she and Anyan she would fight back. The moment she was free of him she would run, get her money and escape this bloody city once and for all.

But the FireWalker had other ideas. This girl was smart; she knew the rule of strength in numbers. Thus, he would keep his guards with him, maybe even take some more from their posts if he came across any. With a brisk march-step, the men never shifting the slightest bit for her escape, the troupe went in the direction of the palace.
~Whee, Location Shift to the Palace~

"Please mum, please mum, please mum, please..." The chorus of little children, so plaintive in their callings, murmured around the edges of Rose's view. Dropping a single copper from her purse into one lucky orphan's outstretched hands, the mistress continued onward. "There's a nice jewelery stand near here that might have interest for you... But to be more specific, is there anything you'd like to buy in particular?"
[Sorreh it's so short, fighting sleepiness. D:]

Lanen looked at the children as they walked through the streets and felt bad. That was once where she was and now look at her, decked out in jewelry and fine clothing. Though her stomach probably did not feel any better than that of the children. She was as nervous as hell and not getting any better as time crept up on her. Soon she would be meeting with this man. A meeting she hoped did not go badly, for her sake and Rose's.
"I dont' know, ma'am. Jewelry sounds fine." She said, not knowing what else there was she woudl want. She slept fine and wore nice enough clothes. Yes. Jewelry would be perfect. Though her next problem, what would she get?

Rose's eyes caught that glance, but the kistune said nothing. "Come, dear." Their explorations led them inot the middle-class part of town; made up of well-to-do craftsmen and those who were better off than the outer ring of Polcrity, it contained shops and eateries - At least, the kind of eateries that served food that wouldn't make one gag, if one could call the slop they served in the outer ring food. Approaching a quaint little shop near the border, the mistress quietly opened the door with a smile. A tinkle of gentle bells attached to the door rustled slightly, announcing her approach. "Let's take a look at what you'd like."

Lanen followed the woman. She knew this place well. She often came here to pick pocket for her days money and had the urge to do so just as she came in but she knew better. This sudden change from the lifestyle she knew bothered her but she knew she would have to give up on thinking of the past. No one in her past would remember her. In fact they would have to forget her. That also made her sad.
She walked in after Rose and looked around at the shop. She was not to keen on earrings, she knew that from when she was younger. In fact she was in love with bracelets of all sorts. Necklaces took the middle position in her head.

The shopkeeper positively beamed at the two, immediately taking boxes from under the counter and opening them, setting the glittering gems in rows for the mistress and slave to see. "Good evening, Evahyn. I'm looking for some pretties for me and Lanen." The kitsune's voice was warm and soothing, the kind that she used when with Lanen or with some of her favored associates. The woman, a roly-poly dumpling of a mouse demon, twitched her whiskers merrily and withdrew a set of shimmering golden bangles, with fine, almost thread-like, filgree gold chains that connected the loops loosely together. Small bells of polished nickel, so bright they looked like small stars, jingled together gently as they hung from the chains. Evahyn smiled, showing comely dimples upon her chubby face. "These can be anklets or bracelets, Mistress Rose. I'm sure that they'd look pretty on your young lady friend here."

Lanen smiled as she looked at the bangles all connected with the beautiful chain. It was magnificent. It really was. It really wasn't the gold that attracted her to the bracelets. For all she cared it could be copper it was just the beauty of it. "It's beautiful." She said softly, almost a whisper one could barely hear as she gently let her finger's slide over the chain's and bangles. This brought her mind completely off of what she would do that evening which was perhaps what Rose was trying to do.

"Then we will have four sets. Your best." Rose said grandly, stroking Lanen's head in a motherly manner. Evahyn twittered behind the counter for a moment, then produced four plain wooden boxes in quick succession, stacking them up. "That will be ten gold peices, please." Ten gold peices could feed a poor family for at least a year, and any street child would be shocked at how freely the mistress spent her money. "But of course." She whispered, opening her black doeskin purse, lined with velvet. Out came ten fat gold coins; these were pressed into the mouse demon's palm along with a small silver. "I believe we'll be on our way, Lanen. Unless you would like something else here?"

Lanen was shocked at how much these beautiful bangles cost. But of course they were gold. However she was confused as to why four sets were purchased. For a moment she tried to think of why and then heard Rose's voice once more. "No...I am fine." She answered as she thought of all the gold that was spent already. She did not want to have Rose spend anymore. Not on her at least. She still had yet to prove herself and god was she still feeling her nerves twisting and her stomach was a mess. Deep down she prayed she would not dissapoint Rose. As much as her fiery spirit longed to be out of Polcrity it also wanted to do what she was going to do tonight. Perhaps it might let itself out too.

Rose felt Lanen's discomfort and shrugged lightly, then smiled. "Then we shall go back and have a light lunch before we start our arrangements, yes?" It was to be expected that a street child would react so, after their lives in such poverty... But it was little, compared to what Heradhahl would pay once he found out that this was her first and she was a virgin. She'd never figured out what was so special about virginity - After all, a more experienced woman would please one better. But then again, she wasn't the kind that asked questions.
Accepting the boxes graciously, the kitsune beckoned for her charge to follow. "Come, darling."

Lanen looked at Rose as she spoke to her and nodded. "I suppose." She said softly as she looked back at the jewelry stand. Out of all the things she saw the best thing was what she had received. Such a beautiful bracelet. Her footsteps followed Rose but her mind was still on what had happened to her. Imagine if her old gang found out. No. They wouldn't care. She knew that. She had a new life now and strangely she accepted it.
