"I have," Tina said, the teasing light fading from her eyes as she looked away. "Don't think he has. Or he just doesn't feel the same."
|
"He might," Rachel offered, a bit awkwardly. "You said yourself he's subtle."
|
Tina shrugged at that and was quick to change the subject. "So do we have a list or are we just looking?"
|
"The only thing I really need to try to find are oranges," Rachel said. "Anything else is pretty much whatever we feel like getting."
|
"Cool," Tina said. "We can see what all we can find, then."
|
Rachel nodded and went with her friend into the market to see what caught their eyes.
|
Tina just started browsing. She didn't really need much, but if she could find some plant seeds she'd take those.
|
Rachel browsed as well. The cocoa wasn't absolutely necessary, but she did kind of want it if she could find it. She did, however, make sure to pick up a dozen oranges when she came across them.
|
Tina grinned and kept looking around. She ended up getting some seeds to take back to her garden, and then kept looking around to see if anything else caught her eye.
Like cocoa. |
"See anything you like?" Rachel asked when she caught up to Tina. "I'm guessing you found some new seeds?"
|
"I did, and some vegetable seeds too." Tina grinned. "I think I see some cocoa. Maybe I should just buy a couple cocoa pods and see if I can get a tree or two started."
|
"I bet you could," Rachel said, grinning. "Go for it."
|
Tina didn't quite cackle, but she did look very pleased with herself when she managed to get her hands on a few cocoa pods as well as the cocoa powder.
|
Rachel grinned.
"Awesome," she said once Tina had gotten her hands on the cocoa. "I bet you'll have a cocoa tree in no time." |
Tina laughed a little. "We'll see how much encouragement it needs," she said. Because clearly it wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of how long.
|
"I look forward to seeing it next time," Rachel said. She stretched a little. "Anything else we need to look for?"
|
"Well, we may as well keep looking around while we're here," Tina said with a bit of a shrug.
|
"Works for me," Rachel said. She grinned a bit. "Maybe see what clothes are on sale, see if I can't find something new. I want something new."
|
Tina nodded. "Yeah, I need a new pair of pants," she said a bit ruefully. "And maybe a shirt or two."
|
"Let's go see what we can find, then," Rachel said. She grinned a bit. "A couple good pairs of trousers, some shirts, and I think I'll be set."
|
Tina nodded, going to peruse and see what she could find. She figured she'd have to hem the pants a little but that was okay.
|
A while later, Rachel tucked a bundle of clothes under her arm and carried the bag of oranges in that hand.
"I think I'm good," she said to Tina. "What about you?" |
Tina nodded, having gotten a bag to carry everything in. "Yup, I'm good. Here, I got some cocoa powder for you, too. The rest I'll take and experiment with." She grinned as she handed over a packet of cocoa powder.
|
"Awesome, thanks," Rachel said, taking the packet. "I should probably be getting back to the ship soon."
|
Tina nodded. "Sure, whenever you want," she agreed. "I'll walk you back."
