Takes place in between the "Shh, it's a secret" threads with Valinta. :3
Sky and Val had parted ways for a moment or so. They'd meet back up to go home later, but for now, Sky was in need of some alone time. She'd laughed herself sick trying to help Valinta figure out a front-hook strapless bra, and the younger girl had complained about it being absolutely pointless for an hour after. It all gave Sky a headache, though she still wore an amused grin. Now, though, she needed to find a way to rid herself of the headache, and so she was off to the edge of Halifax, wandering aimlessly as her mind cleared.
She loved shopping, apparently, especially with Valinta, probably her closest female friend in D'Arte. She'd been excited from the moment they'd set off that morning, and now, edging into the evening, she was still happy to spend time with the little shade. Just in case, though, she'd brought her needles and piercings with her, should anyone find her services useful. She'd already pierced Bao, who was happy to come to her in the first place, even if he hadn't planned it. What was stopping someone else from coming to her, now that her piercing talents had spread?
Apparently, nothing. Sky didn't know it yet, but the shadowy figure in the distance was looking for her. She, on the other hand, was just looking for directions to the nearest shop. The idea hit her to buy a gift for Val, or else find one, and so she was off trotting, approaching the male evenly and cautiously. "Excuse me, sir?" She smiled, ignoring the slight headache she had left. "I hate to bother, but would you happen to know where the nearest set of shops are?"
