Open-air Market ...
Whatever she supposed she should be doing with her money if she were human ... she wasn't doing that, not really. She needed only to wash her epidermal layer a few times a month to keep it suitably clean, so there wasn't much use for the bathhouses, and since she shared a room with Liir the boarding wasn't an issue.

Cameron did, of course, have her suspicions that soon enough Liir would be deciding to move into a room with that Trism. She still didn't feel as if she could trust him, which was rather strange. Things -- feelings, specifically -- were starting to come far more easily to her. It was disturbing, quite honestly.

She tapped her fingers hard on the surface of one of the vendor's stands and frowned slightly. "I got double that for the same price the last time I was here," which was a lie, but guilt wasn't one of the feelings that had been coming to her lately in force.

	She shrugged. "Long enough to get money for food, room and board." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Which means anywhere from a week to twelve years," he supplies with a faint grin. "Where you folks living? It'd be nice to be around people who're, you know, like me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She glances to him sideways. "The boarding house. It is not too far from here." She's deemed him 'not a threat'. Recognizing that having 'friends' might be good (and for some reason she can't quite place), "Do you have ... somewhere to stay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right now? I'm staying at an inn. But I'm thinking a boarding house would be a lot more cost-effective." He eyed the direction which she seemed to be heading. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think..." She paused. "Do you have the money they have here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grinned again. "I can get as much as I need. I don't usually get more than that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That clicked something in her mind. "If you try to steal from my brother and I, I'll kill you." Flatly. "I can take you to the boarding house." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quicksilvered 2008-04-13 06:04 am UTC (link)
	He didn't look insulted. "Rule number one: if you do the job right, no one gets hurt. And anyone who needs to bargain like that," and he pointed to the basket, "taking from them would hurt." That was his way of saying 'I never would, death threat or not'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled quite genuinely. "Good. Then we will get along fine." For now. Cameron headed toward the boarding house again, silent until, "...when are you from?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quicksilvered 2008-04-13 06:10 am UTC (link)
	"Two thousand and three," he told her. "You?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thats_tight 2008-04-13 06:12 am UTC (link)
	She hesitated. "Two thousand and seven." Technically when she'd come here, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Time traveler too. Fun." He scratches at his ear. "Government project?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thats_tight 2008-04-13 06:13 am UTC (link)
	She blinks at him. "...no." Not technically the government he was referring to, at least. Not by the time she was manufactured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Crysallis?" His eyes are a lot harder now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thats_tight 2008-04-13 06:20 am UTC (link)
	She doesn't know what that means and it's obvious. Her face is blank while she searches her databases. "...no." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quicksilvered 2008-04-13 06:22 am UTC (link)
	"Good," he said with a faint smirk. "Cause I really didn't want to have to kill you." At which point he jaunts his way ahead of her to look at something at another of the stalls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thats_tight 2008-04-13 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Cameron actually laughs rather loudly. "You're funny." She watches him jaunt curiously and then moves to a stall opposite the one he's standing at. For really obvious casual observation. Right. (Reply to this) (Parent)
