"Of course I do, it is absolutely dreadful wearing all these layers. I swear Mum does this to torture me," she said while motioning towards her corset and long skirt. Soon she would have a thinner skirt to wear in the summerâ€™s heat, seeing how she had outgrown the one her mother made a few years go. She let out a sigh thinking about the torture of being sized and fitted, though she really did need a new dress.<br/><br/>Ellyn couldn't help but laugh at the reaction that Alanna had about the town being busy. She probably should have warned her but in all honesty she would have figure that Alanna knew. Then again, the girl was not the observant. "Where has yer head been? Of course everyone wants to shop today; we are only a few weeks away from the Solstice. Besides, this is the last week of the Bazaar." She ruffled Alanna's hair a bit, enjoying how her friend was easy to pick on.<br/><br/>She shook her head as they moved through each vendor, taking time to view all the wonders that had been brought to their village. Of course, with Ellyn's luck, she had been able to get all the things that her parents wanted, however she did have to heckle with some of the prices. It was rubbish how much they wanted for a few yards of emerald and black fabric. She scoffed slightly. With an arm full of items, she looked back at Alanna. "Meet me by the forest line and we'll head to the lake together, alright?" She parted ways with her friend, taking some time to give all the items to her mother and father. She had even bought something for her brothers, even though they were rat bastards most of the time.<br/><br/>She told her mother that she was leaving once again, exiting the house as fast as possible to avoid an argument. She ran through town, heading towards the forest line for Alanna. As she waited, she felt that something was off. She looked around trying to place what it was exactly, the sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach only getting stronger. She decided that it was all the running she did after eating, and brushed it off. Right now, she was ready to relax in the lake for a few hours.
