(AGHHHH WHY IS HE SO SWEET

“Look at me. I have short hair, freckles, large blistered hands, and slightly dirt-tanned skin. What man would want me?” Adeen laughed. “It’s fine. I’ve managed for years, i can continue.”

She stopped. His voice buzzed in her ears and she struggled to make out the words.
"Forgive me, man, if I do not understand. All I require are directions."
She rocked on her heels, unable to quench the pain in her feet. The box-blade still twirled in numb fingers.

Yes, a store.)
The sun continued to come up. If Jintao guessed correctly, it was around 6:00 am now. He frowned, almost stopping to stare at the ground. "The mercantile back there should be able to meet all your needs," he talked in the volume he had earlier, forgetting that she probably didn't hear him. Remembering, he spoke louder, "I can take you back to the one we just passed. I'll just want to go with you because I know them. That is, if you want to go there now. They should be opening in an hour or two now."(AGHHHH WHY IS HE SO SWEET

Claura raised her eyebrows. Secretly she wanted to admit that Adeen was right, but she figured she had said enough already. "Guys think freckles are cute-" She wasn't entirely sure of that, she just said it for encouragement. She picked up her dress like a princess at a ball. "I have more of these if you want to get dressed up, and I'm sure we could get you cleaned up somehow."
“Thank you for the offer, but I really don’t have time. I am behind schedule as it is, but I had to get some fresh air. Maybe this winter, when all anybody needs are firepokers and door knockers.”
Claura's shoulders dropped. She wondered if she'd ever get anywhere with her friend. She felt so bad for her. "The rainy season is too far away and all it does is soil our dresses." Claura let her dress fall back to its original length. "You can't wait that long."
“That’s when the farmers and merchants are not doing anything that they need iron. The only time I’m free!” Adeen explained. She saw the fallen look on her friend’s face. “How about this: after I get these orders done in the next few days, I’ll take a week or so off with you. I could use a little bit of time off anyway. “
Claura perked back up. "It sounds like a plan," she smiled. Grabbing her dress and doing a half spin, she said, "So, what color do you like? I will work on a dress while I wait. It will be perfect!" She stopped and pointed at Adeen's rough hands. "I will be sure to find you some gloves. You'll probably need a bigger size to cover your blisters, so I should get on that first."
