Skye smiled at her new friend. "Well, that's the advantage of traveling on a boat! Even though we only get a few days here, we get to go to many different places as well!" Mentally the half-elf thought Funny... Only just before she said she was an unwanted orphan... Yet just now she said this was her first time away from home... Rong must have a very interesting history behind her... Ah well. I won't push it. She will tell me when she wants, and no sooner.

While the two were wandering the streets, they did not notice Lyulfe had disappeared from their side. At that moment, Lyulfe returned with a small bag in his hands. "I know how hungry Skye can get sometimes, and since you seem interested in the foodstuffs, I got some for you too," the tall elf said to Rong Er, the tips of his pointed ears a little red.

Skye observed this without a word, then tugged on the bag. "Sooo, what'd you get? I hope it wasn't too expensive."

He opened the bag to reveal various strangely-shaped fruits of vibrant hues and some sweetmeats. "Actually, the food at the local market seems to be quite inexpensive, although we should stop at a tavern or the marketsquare tommorrow."

Skye grabbed a blueish-orange fruit that was shaped sort of like an apple, and offered it to Rong Er. "As Lyulfe would say, for the apple of my eye," she mimicked her companion's voice in a silly manner. Lyulfe made a noise in his throat that was a cross between irritation and embarrassment, and looked away to avoid Rong Er's gaze. Skye grinned, patted his shoulder sympathetically, and grabbed a purple-jade coloured fruit for herself. "MMMPH!" she exclaimed, and uttered a few curses in elvish and draconic, among others.

"What?" Lyulfe asked, annoyed.

"I 'ink I 'oke a too'!" she said.

Lyulfe looked at her, puzzled, and raised an eyebrow. "Mind running that by me again?"

The half-elf looked irate and rubbed her jaw. "I said, I think I broke a tooth!" Skye held up the fruit pit which had so endangered her incisor. "How strange looking... Don't throw out the pits, I want to save them." She shrugged in response to her two companions' questioning looks. "Call it curiousity. Mine's insatiable, I really ought to name it."
