Marketplace Reunion
Private RP
Òtama & Emerin
[Cogaidh] [soulindreams]
Òtama is sent to the marketplace as a favor to her granddam. Seems she is to make
a delivery to an old friend, a reunion orchestrated by the old jenny.

Òtama
The merchant booths were busy this time of day and Òtama had to pick her way carefully between the bartering equines. She disliked heading to the crowded marketplace during peak hours but her granddam had cornered her into delivering products to a friend. ----- “Ah, Òtama dear,” her granddam’s sweet voice and gentle smile had her sighing knowing what was coming, “I know you must be very busy, but I simple don’t have the strength to take these to the stall, your cousins have their hooves full with their own shops and I don’t have anyone else to help.” ----- She could have said no, could have given the excuse of needing to train, but she couldn’t do that when her granddam gave her that sweet look. Manipulative old jenny. Ah but she loved her granddam, she had been the principle mare in her life. Her back was laden with bundles of cloth and soft leather for a newer merchant in the marketplace. Her granddam hadn’t said who the merchant was, just that the young mare would remember her when she saw her… what had that meant? Shaking her head, Òtama looked over the stalls around her, looking for any face that might be familiar. While she had spent time at her granddam’s stall in her younger years, she hadn’t been to the market place in years, able to get all she needed from her extended family.
A flash of white caught the young mule’s attention and she craned her neck to look over the backs of taller horses, a mare stood at the entrance of her shop. The white faced mare looked very familiar and Òtama moved closer to get a better look. “Emerin?” she asked a little shocked as she walked up to the other mare. It had been years since she had seen her foalhood friend, time and familial obligations had separated them but they had once been quite close.

~Emerin~ >>>>|Stationary Merchant| >
Emerin poked her head out the door of her parents house and quickly pushed her way politely through the crowd of equines doing their daily things. She quickly stepped against her door and unlocked it. The dog her mother was taking care of kept watch of the shop lately. He barked happily at her presence. she wished she could take him home but father wouldn't allow that at all. She nuzzled his wet nose and set her items she was carrying on the front counter where her customers came to pay for the items they wished to purchase. Before she opened up to the public she did a quick clean and let the dog out back into the small yard behind her shop where he could play and do his business. She wen out back with him of course to start up her forge for customers who would like new or repair armor and weapons. once that was done she happily trotted to the door to welcome her customers. She fallowed this routine quite often.
Emerin stood outside to welcome customers for the morning and flirted with any new face she saw. They either walked in or kept going on about. Emerin craned her neck over the crowed once she heard her name from a familiar voice. Her eyes widened with surprise and she jumped up and down ecstatically. "OH. MY. GODS!" She smiled and rushed to her long lost friend. "Òtama, is that really you?" she asked curiously with a wide grin. she noticed how beautiful she had gotten over the years but she was always short. Emerin chuckled to herself. "What brings you?!" she asked quickly observing her with a smile still glued on.
