Now that Angela had finished bathing, her hair was shimmering even brighter than before. her skin felt smooth, and clean, just like silk. Plus, her clothes looked crisp and new; though they were the same color, they weren't cut up or dirty on any spot. Angela wrapped up her items in her cloth, and went back to the village with a smile and a small, involuntary thought that made her blush.

She headed towards the inn as soon as she entered the town. However, she paused: there was something in a merchants stand that had caught her eye. She moved toward it and held it up delicately, as if it were a child. She inspected it very carefully, looking at every curve, feeling the objects softness, and then turned it over and did it again. The merchant became a little perturbed because of the length of time Angela spent touching his merchandise, and he spoke up. Angela did not hear him though. She was too busy inspecting it. After a few minutes of close inspection and yells, Angela turned to the merchant so suddenly that he jumped.

Angela: "How much is this?"
Merchant: "That, my dear, is a rare artifact; it's worth quite a bit."
Angela: "Do you even know what it is?"
Merchant: "Err... Y-yes, my dear customer. It is a very fine cloth."
Angela: "Well, yes, but it's actually called--" She stopped.
Merchant: "hm? Go on. What is it?"
Angela: "...Nevermind; How much for the cloth?"
Merchant: "For you?" He looked around cautiously and then stooped over to whisper in her ear.
Angela: "THAT MUCH?!!"
The town stopped to look at her.
Merchant: "SHH! Calm down, or you'll attract a lot of attention, and maybe even drive away potential customers!!"
Angela: "Oh! I'm sorry. It's just that it's... well, strange."
Merchant: "How so?"
Angela: "It's a little difficult to explain, so please do not ask. Anyway, here." She pulled out her cloth, and somehow pulled out a few gold coins, and a small sapphire. "That's all you wanted, correct?"
Merchant: "Oh, even more so! You may keep the sapphire; or if you really want me to take it off your hands, buy something else. May I suggest this book? It tells about the legend of the lost island of Shunshou."
Angela: "Oh.... well... alright. I'll buy that as well. Keep it all, please, and may you have a happy day."

As the Merchant watched her run off towards the inn, he noticed two things: Her hair shimmered in sun light, and her clothes were made of the same material as that cloth...
Back at the inn, Angela went up the stairs and into the room. She noticed Welf sitting in the corner, doing something peculiar that involved multi-colored smoke. Then she sat on her bed, and placed her stuff down when she noticed her hand touched something familiar. She looked at it, and saw the rose. She picked it up, and held it close, and turned to look at Welf. She knew he gave it to her: there was a strand of red hair on it, which gave it easily away. She ran up behind Welf, and wrapped her arms around him, exclaiming "Thank you!". She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, hugged him a little tighter, and ran over to her bed to sit down and work on something. Welf turned his now maroon-toned head to look back at her, and he noticed she was working with something that involved a red cloth. It continuously moved, as did her arms, and he watched intently for a few moments before returning to his work.

[ooc] Maybe just a little bit of info wouldn't kill ya. The cloth is a special silk, that came (supposedly) from Shunshou. The only reason why it's believable (Shunshou is supposed to be a myth), is because no one knows how to make it in the entire world, and that piece of cloth is one of four pieces left in the world. So, Angela is going to use it for something, but I won't tell you what just yet. In any case... I guess that it's just Karma, Miles, Ledmonkey, Kalem, Sbyrd, and me then.. for now at least. Please hurry back, Master... [/ooc]
