Nyra found herself looking at Jamison longer than she needed to. He was just so..different. He wasn't like the sorcerers she knew all her life...not as dark and grumpy as most of them tended to be. Then she snapped out of her thoughts when she remembered the scarf around her neck. With a small laugh, she took it off and reached into her bag. As she did so, she approached the counter with the register, laying out a few coins on its surface. "Will this be enough for the scarf?" she asked, holding it up.

Jaclyn shrugged, smiling. "Sure. Or you could just have it." Jamison frowned and elbowed her in the ribs. "Never say no to someone offering you money!" he scolded jokingly. Jaclyn giggled, and Jamison grinned.

Nyra shook her head. "Aw, come on. I can't just take it." She left the coins where they were, and tied the scarf around her waist. The color of it matched her sea-blue eyes, and stood out against her black clothes-which consisted simply of a short black, wavy skirt and a black shirt with sleeves cut off at the elbows. Black, lace-up boots served as her footwear, which ended just below her knee. "There," she said, content. "What do you think?"

"Very nice," Jaclyn said, giving her a little round of applause and grinning. Jamison looked curiously at her, as if he'd only just seen her for the first time. He blinked rapidly, and murmured his agreement a beat late.

Nyra bowed dramatically and jokingly at Jaclyn's applause. Then she straightened and glanced around the room. "This is incredible," she murmured, taking everything in again. "I can't believe you guys actually grew up here. Right?"

"Yep! We sure did," Jaclyn replied cheerfully. She cast a glance at her brother, who was still peeking at Nyra out of the corner of his eye. She raised an eyebrow, and poked him in the shoulder. "Hello, earth to Jame. Anyone home?"

Nyra glanced up, and Varen shifted to stand beside her. "Do you guys want some time to talk alone?" he offered, looking between the two. "Nyra and I can explore a bit and come back later." Nyra frowned, not sure she wanted to leave just yet. But she said nothing, figuring that she and Varen could complete their task to pass the time.

Jaclyn shrugged, glancing again at her brother. "That would be nice, actually," she murmured. Jamison nodded in consent.

Varen nodded, and motioned to Nyra to follow him. "Okay. We'll be back." Nyra gave Jaclyn and Jamison a last grin before hurrying after Varen, out of the store and into the busy streets of Traveler's Meet.

Jamison blinked out of his stupor, and turned toward Jaclyn. "Well. Would you like to come upstairs and have some tea? It's seems as if you've got a lot to tell..." She nodded, and followed him up to the kitchen.

A couple hours later, the shop door-bell announced the return of Nyra and Varen. "Hello?" Nyra called, stretching. She and Varen had found out all they needed to know. The rumors about the egg they had been sent to find were myths. There was no need to take any further action concerning something that didn't exist.

Jaclyn pattered down the stairs, grabbing one edge of the door and swinging around the corner to grin at them. "Want to come upstairs for a bit?"

Nyra nodded and headed up the stairs after Jaclyn. Varen followed after her after closing the door behind him.

Jaclyn skipped back into the kitchen and flopped down into one of the three chairs around the table. Jamison glance up from where he stood at the stove, and smiled brightly. "Please, sit down. Lunch'll be ready in a few minutes." He gestured toward the two remaining chairs with his spatula.

Varen nodded gratefully and sat down next to Jaclyn. Nyra seated herself on his other side. "What's on the menu?" she asked in a soft, sing-song-like voice.
