RP: The Farmers Market Date: Monday June 11, 2012 Characters: Colton Carrow, Val Mathers Location: Farmer’s market Status: semi-public Rating: PG? Summary: Colton goes to the farmer’s market. Completion: Incomplete
The farmer’s market had just opened. Colton always tried to hit it before the bulk of the people arrived and while there was still the most produce. While Mondays were his days off, the Mondays this was open he still tried to come. Niall tagged along at his elbow like a large shadow, hand often resting on Colton’s elbow. It was a comfort to Colton because if the crowd got large, his anxiety would go up proportionally, since getting around easily would pose more of a problem. He preferred to negate having to deal with any of that, and Niall never seemed to mind a request for a ride and company, except perhaps when he had a hangover.
He already had arrangements for the restaurant with a lot of farmers, most of whom he had met at this or another of the farmers markets. Today, however, was for his home, and whatever extra he might pick up for the restaurant on a whim. Fruit was still coming in from further south, and a few marketers who came regularly from California and Georgia and such, and corn was already coming up from the south as well.
For now, though, he hovered over the cantaloupe at one booth, sniffing in deeply. He was very good at picking fruit based on smell and touch.
