“Chocolates and other candies, I’m not sure what all. I just asked for one of everything she had and I haven’t had any, yet.” Maybe ever. She wouldn’t be surprised if she was going to lose all claims to the candy. But it was just as well. As long as he wasn’t cross about her leaving, she didn’t care.

"Let me see." He held his hand out for the bag.

He rifled through it, eventually selecting the caramel drips, some chocolate, and a bag of sugar twists. "The rest looks disgusting," he informed her.

“Alright… do you want me to take it back, then?” How was she even supposed to answer that?

"Do what you want with it." He shrugged and popped a caramel drop in his mouth, offering another to the larger man.

“Okay.” She took the bag and turned away, blushing slightly. She hated how awkward sensuality made her feel. For someone raised in the East, she really should be more comfortable with it. Witnessing it. Experiencing it. And yet she wasn’t. It made her feel embarrassed and she very much wanted to leave.

"It's so boring here," Cairbry sighed as he handfed his companions. "Nothing but money to spend and nothing interesting to spend it on."
The blonde man pouted.
"Except you lovely gentlemen." He planted a kiss on the blonde man.

Awkwardddddd. Rana sped up a bit, blushing more, intent on making her escape.

Cairbry paid her no heed at all, absorbed in entertaining the courtesans and letting them entertain him.

She quickly left and shut the door behind her, grateful to have made it out without seeing anything. Lia was still pouting, but softened slightly when she saw Rana’s face. Rana silently offered her the bag, then went and flopped down on the bed.

(Nothing to add; Cairbry's gonna keep chatting with them and in an hour or two they're gonna get down to business)

(Sure! Do you want to have her look around for Okina before the party leaves or would you like to go up to Tomhas and Ky?)

(No strong preference! Do you still need a break from the North and/or do you have ideas for what she can see in the town? Don’t wanna put an unfair burden on you to come up with everything but I don’t have ideas for the town unfortunately lol)

Maybe what most people wanted wasn't immortality and fame, but the reassurance that their existence had meant something. No matter how long... or how brief. Maybe being eternal meant becoming a story worth telling.
