[ What day is it? Where are they? (spins a wheel) By the wisteria in the marketplace on Avisle. What are they doing?

Roxana is looking at all the goods for sale, skirting around people with ease. Even if her abilities are nerfed to an extent and she can somehow control the level of how poisonous she is (things the light novel has revealed that made me lose my mind), she'd still prefer not to touch anyone or have anyone touch her unnecessarily. The wisteria trees make everything more vibrant, make all the items more appealing. She's sure the merchants are glad for this month's effects, however real or not they are.

She's looking at jewelry at some shop or stall, pondering the aesthetic as well as how easy it'd be modify into something more multipurpose. She holds up a pretty hair ornament. ]

What do you think?

[ Whether Kaveh is passing by or he was already here or they came here together for whatever reason is up to you!! ]

[BY THE WISTERIAS IT IS. A broke-as-hell architect and a poisonous rich girl walk into a marketplace...

By which I mean LET'S SAY they ran into each other here and now Kaveh's tagging along, so the trait swap hasn't started yet. I hope Roxana's ready to have a bleeding heart because Kaveh is definitely not prepared for this. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE'S THINKING ABOUT THESE ORNAMENTS he truly just assumes this is jewelry for jewelry's sake.]

Hmmm... [His tastes trend on the bold and extravagant side because that's how you distract people from noticing you're a hot mess but Roxana's earrings are as big as fancy as his are so I'm assuming their tastes align outside of the goth part tbh.] do you have something that matches it at home? Earrings, or a necklace?

[ is it that hard to figure out he's a hot mess? when you're a bleeding heart, it's easier to spot, but he's about to lose that part of himself in a bit. hope he's ready to think despite the guilt, how everyone and everything can better any selfish goals.

Their aesthetics match enough. Roxana tends towards elaborate and intricate because elegant nobility is the vibe and anything that enhances her natural beauty can be weaponized. ]

I was thinking it'd match some earrings I have.

[ Earrings that she can take off and throw like darts. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[LOOK... let him pretend that his facade is flawless]

Well, I'd have to see them to be sure, of course, but I think it would look lovely with earrings. It could get overshadowed by an intricate hairstyle, otherwise.

[Not that subtle, easily concealed accessories are a bad thing...

(...Wait, what?)]

[disingenuous]

I can keep my hair simple, but it's not as if I won't take both aesthetics and function into consideration.

[ It's more that she doesn't have a noble's pocket change in this world, so she should be smarter about spending money, but... for some reason, she doesn't feel that it's as important right now. ]

I can show you what I have later.

[ohthehumanities]

[Time for Roxana to persuade a wealthy old person to leave her their fortune and then die under mysterious circumstances]

Sure, I'd love to see it. [Of course he would.] You know, there's a specific style that's popular in Fontaine recently--it involves twisting the hair and tucking it in to keep it up off your neck. Something like that could work, and we could adjust it to suit your needs.

[Like not fully exposing her neck, which is dangerous...]

[disingenuous]

[ the mysterious circumstance of breathing the same air she breathes.

Fontaine... she can put context clues together even if she doesn't have the whole picture, but she doesn't need all his world lore or details. ]

Are your skills geared towards architecture only, or can you do hair, too? I have an idea what you mean, but I'd like to see it.

[ or he could draw it. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Yeah!]

I would hardly call myself a professional stylist, but I do enjoy learning new styles. It was a hobby for a while. [And he still fancies up his hair sometimes, even though he just tosses it up in a ponytail when he's working. He does tend to feel better when he looks nice, though, and he figures it's the same for others.]
