Ancient Ways

Aten handed over Asur wiping his face from the water before speaking "That seems good should we head out now then?" Aten said taking a seat again knowing the ball of energy was being surppressed in the towel. "We can also make our way around town to see where we should pick and book that space off.
 
She smiled and waited for him at the door, saying that theyd be back shortly, and leaving, she started walking towards the forest. "So you want to live in the forest?" she asked, just clarifying his plans...
 
"Well I figured there going to need a sort of government some how so I figured once things really got up and running Bura and I would take the job listening to the people and trying to make the town better and since that is planned I wont be able to do that from the desert house no will I? Anyways its not so bad here after I get some more of the warming clothes and ill have you during the night to keep me warm as well." Aten gave her a little hip bump as they made there way into the forest letting her take the lead since she knew where she was going.
 
She gave a nod "Yea, i was thinking about that too... but what happens when there become more people? What about my, uh... head problems?" she said shrugging... she had to admit that she was getting used to so many people, but it still hurt her head at times... She stopped in the middle of the woods, the leader coming out and sittig on the ground as if this was where they had planned to meet from the beginning
 
Aten took a seat on the ground giving a little bow "Its good to see you again I hope that all the panthers are alright after the attack, I would have come sooner but a few things came up here and there, but anyways now I have come here to talk to you about the renovation of the old town, i'd like to know what you want done with it and, i'd also like to make sure that everyone is out of the area before I begin the demolition of it, after all I don't want anyone getting hurt."
 
The panther gave a bow ~Alls well with us, only a minor wound here or there... We thank you for your considerations, and honestly, we just want our forest back, but since that will take a few generations to complete, a small monument to Sheigrah, so we may honour her, and the buildings leveled should suffice. We can begin the rebirthing process of the trees as soon as the buildings are down. Id like to thank you and the young one again, you have done us a great service, for a very small price. Should you need us in the future, dont hesitate to ask. We have many brethren in other lands that will come to our call if we arent enough. The young one can direct further, the women call... Farewell, and thank you again..." he said, giving a quick bow as a few yowls came from the deeper woods. Azure spoke up "The leaders wife is having her litter..."
 
Aten gave a little giggle "I have a little surprise for them, after all we need to clear some space for a few farms for food production so I was going to just carry the trees and replant them in a different spot after all the town has basically been adapting with the forest but for crop they need the sun so it will be simple for me to replant them" Aten stood up slowly grabbing Azura's hand "Shall we head back to the town then? We still need to find you some clothes that will help show your figure more and maybe get you a little more tanned, not that being so pale is a bad thing but some times I wonder if its good for your health."
 
She chuckled, holding onto his arm slightly as they walked back, feeling the drain from the conversation with the panthers. "I wouldnt mind some nice clothes, but you have to make sure theyre tasteful as well as pretty... i dont want to be walking around in next to nothing just to get colour in me... actually about the farming,... i was wondering if i couldnt try my hands at gardening... ive always been intrigued with the idea of a garden... and then it will give me a reason to go outside more too" she said with a shrug, giving his arm a pat and smiling up at him
 
"Hmmm gardening would be good, but we would have to get you some clothes suited for that as well. It would be a shame if you ruined your clothes gardening, but yeah that would be good we'll have to have a talk with the ones who would be in charge of that." Aten and Azura continued their way through the forest until they reached the town again "Oh crap I forgot to ask Bura where the people who made clothes are." Aten kinda slumped his shoulders feeling stupid for a moment.
 
She chuckled "Dont worry, one of the great things about marrying a Daemon is they tend to find out a lot of things... Bura told me that the clothes women were on the west side of the town, by some kind of statue of some sort that was made..." she said shrugging. She didnt know where east west north south were, and if shed had to guess shed be wrong for sure...
 
"Oh thats easy to find Aten head off in a slight left direction until they reached the statue "Ok so now I just have to figure where about they are here. Aten looked around for a sign of some sort until he saw something that resembled a dress and headed off there and knocked on the door waiting for an answer not sure if it was someones house or a store.
 
A lady looked out the window for a second and came to the door, smiling "Well Hello there! Come one in, well get you two all dashed up in no time! Im supposing your here to get cliothes, ya? Well ya came to the right place, you my dear stay there, the men will come for ya, and you miss, what a beauty you are! Ah, your so adorable, but so pale! Nice light colours will do best now..." the woman literally pulled them in, closed the door, started talking, detatched Aten and Azura, told Aten to stay put and whisked Azura away, her looking a little scared...
 
Aten explained to the men that he wasn't here to get clothes and sat down on a seat waiting for Azura. He had enough clothes for now and the clothes he wanted he wouldn't be able to get here. "I'll be waiting out here Azura don't worry i'm not going anywhere." Aten sat back in the seat and waited while they picked out something nice wanting to see if they could pick something he would like.
 
After an hour or so, the women finally let her go... she was in a beautiful robe dress, that was very open and flowy, adn showed her beautiful figure off wonderfully without being too revealing. She came out timidly, and at the womens promting did a little spin for him. "..what do you think?" she asked, blushing slightly
 
Aten stood up slowly and headed over to Azura looking her up and down and gave the fabric a feel it was light and durable at best so it wouldn't tear easily. "Its wonderful now we just need clothes for you to do some gardening in so something tighter on the skin would be nice" Aten gave her a quick kiss letting the girls take her away again "So how much will this cost should I offer my services to you? I wont take free as an answer after all work is always needed." Aten gave the store keeper a quick smile.
 
The woman took Azuras hand and looked at Aten "Well sir, if it wasnt for you and this beautiful young lady here, wed all still be stuck making dresses for the nobels for nothing anyways. Our freedom is payment enough, trust us. So let me see about some gardening clothes you say? My, you wanna garden deary? Thats so wonderful, you look like you could be good at it, gentle hands....." she whisked Azura way, still chattering on.. Azura didnt seem to say much, but the women got the job done quick, she coming out a little while later with pants that were snug to her form, yet were comfortable to do work in, and had reinfroced areas so they wouldnt wear or tear and the top was a simple tank top of sorts, leaving her arms free and once again form fitting, simple, yet elegant at the same time...
 
"Aten looked up and down her again these clothes are good, but I will still make a payment of a sort its just the way I am so if you would be kind enough to think of something that I could do even if it was just delivering some clothes for awhile I would very much appreciate that." Aten looked at the woman and began to give her puppy dog eyes battering his lip a little wondering if his cuteness would work on her.
 
She looked at him for a few seconds, then sighed "Ok, fine.. you remind me of my son when you do that, and i gave that boy everything... I need a bundle of fabrics, the delivery boys supposed to be coming from the south, but a hear theres a bit of trouble with panthers in the woods lately, so if you could get me those fabrics, ill call us even, because with those fabrics, we can make the rest of the dresses the other women are asking for." she said giving him a smile. Azura gave her a hug "Thank you so much Ma'am... and im sorry about your son..." she said, looking very sad.. The woman just put a hand to her face and gave a smile "Dont you worry about it dear, now get changed into whatever your wearing and ill have the rest of the clothes packaged for you so then you can bring em home, ok? Off ya go..." she sighed as Azura went from her hand to another womans to be led to the back rooms. The woman turned to him "Shes a good girl... Your lucky, you know that? When we heard of a girl Daemon running around, we were a bit scared honestly, that she might snap and kill us all! But i dont fear that anymore now that ive met her... shes a sweet girl, very kind... and she adores you to no end, couldnt stop talking about you, mind you we didnt give her much chance to change the subject! So when is this wedding? Hm? And are we going to do up her dress and your robes? Itd be our honour to.." she said smiling to him
 
"Oh I see your a sly woman who can tell what people are thinking eh?" Aten gave a little chuckle "Yeah I was going to ask you to make her a dress for the wedding I figured i'd plan the wedding about a week or so from now so If you could have something done by then i'd be very grateful" Aten gave a little smile before continuing "Now as for the delivery I think they should start straying away from the panthers for now they seem to be having their litters and are most protective of them so thats probably what the problems are and as soon as shes changed ill head over to them and give them a hand."
 
She smiled "Not a problem, i have one of my apprentice girls making a cast at the moment of your beloved, so then we can work on the dress while shes away... And as for that delivery, thank you so very much... Now i have to ask, is she really blind? I couldnt find my sheers anywhere and she pointed em out straight to me, it was such a fright!" she said, putting a hand over her chest as if she was shocked.
 
Aten gave a little giggle "Yes she is truly blind but shes able to use other peoples eyes with her powers so that she can see, kinda neat isn't it? She can also read minds and thoughts but if they speak to loudly in her head it can be dangerous so I don't like taking her to places with to many people just yet." Aten gave a little giggle while sitting back in the chair again waiting to head out.
 
She looked surprised "It must be difficult living with a girl like that, isnt it? Shell know everything you think of, so nothing is a surprise to her... my oh my..." she said looking in the back room to see if she was ready yet. "Looks to be a minute or two, theyre just helping her into her clothes again... How does she do things around the house? Does she use that sight thing? or does she just do nothing..?" the woman was curious obviously... most people have never lived with a blind person, nonethelone a telepathic and telekenetic blind person...
 
"You know its quite fun living with her she has such a great personality, for things around the house she can do most of them since my house is very simplistic and she remembers alot. But she doesn't always know what im thinking since I have learned to hide a few things in my mind so she can't reach them, so I do have a trick or to up my sleeve." Aten gave the girl a big smile. "Also being who she is makes a few things easier on me now I have someone else who can cook for me and even though shes blind she still wants to try things like gardening and what not so nothing can stop this woman and I like that about her" Aten gave a little sigh seeing how his life had turned around "Having someone to spend your life with is alot better than living in the dessert alone I would say, but it will be nice to go back once in awhile when she needs a break from hearing everyones thoughts."
 
The woman gave a nod and smiled "Yea, havin a nice getaway would be nice... And especially for the two of you, thatd be conveinent... She should be done right about now..." she said and reached a hand out and took hers, Azura being led so she was infron of Aten. "There ya are deary, now you come back when youd like something else to wear, ok? And good luck gardening, if you need some help getting started and such, the lady downt he ways, you know where, she will help... shes in charge of planting Everything... well, well be seeing you two again, take care, and if you could grab that delivery, thatd be great, thanks dears" she said handing Azura the package that had the clothes in it. She was smiling, holding his arm as she walked. "...Is there anywhere we could rest a bit, Aten? Im a little wore out... Im still not used to all the people all the where..." she said with a small smile, she looked tired...
 
Aten looked over at Azura "I know just the place, ill let you rest up at Bura's while I head out and grab that delivery, do that sound good to you?" He had made the way to the door pulling Azura along with him giving a wave before leaving the shop.
