740.07.17 | A days end - D'io - 26.Jul.19
The bronze draped across his shoulder hissed and scolded a woman terribly when she accidentally moved into their path. "You know," Dandioar said to the bronze, "You're never going to make us any friends if you don't stop that. Not everyone wants to be lectured by a firelizard." The firelizard in question did nothing but chirp before sliding his cheek against Dandi's in an attempt to get out of the trouble he'd started. It worked mostly, Dandi was always quick to forgive Tigger for his outbursts. He was, after all, young and unused to going out in public much.
This was the first gather Dandi had attended since being search, opting to stay in Ista when they were being held instead of going. He was trying to better his terrible reading and writing ability, something that wasn't uncommon in the youth of Pern, but he didn't want to seem uneducated to the rest of the population. Especially when people learned he was from a hold and should be educated. It wasn't his fault the letters always seemed to take on a mind of their own.
He stopped at a stall and began looking over the wares the man was hawking. They were nicely made and a list of prices was written on a slate of stone. Dandi squinted at the words trying to decipher the numbers connecting to the items and failing miserably. He held up a knife sheath and shook it lightly at the man, "How much for this?" he asked after it. The man had watched the boy struggle with his price listing and an opportunity to prey was seen and taken,"50 marks,"was the reply though the list was well below for that particular sheath even if Dandi didn't know it.
"Really?" Dandioar questioned with a frown, "That seems a bit high for this but if you say so." "Don't believe me?" the man tapped the list and Tigger hissed at him, "It's written in plain Pernese, right here, trying to steal from me eh?" Dandi shook his head, embarrassed that he'd been unable to read, "No, no here. I'll take it for 50." He started digging around in his mark pouch, his embarrassment slowly bleeding into irritation, and didn't notice the person walking up behind him.

Mylorah had just left the dancefloor, heading off to where she and Beckitt had arranged to meet for a bite to eat and chill time together. She adored that boy and didn’t want to be late to the meeting, so of course she spotted someone she knew being hassled by a vendor. She slowed and came to a stop one stall over to see what was going on and if Dandioar had it covered. It really didn’t seem like he did. He seemed embarrassed and slowly getting irritated by the situation and Mylorah couldn’t help but step in and hopefully not step on his ego.
“Hey, baby!” Mylorah called out as she slipped up beside Dandioar and wrapped her arms around one of his, clinging to him like a possessive girlfriend. “Sorry, sir, it’s my fault. I told him not to spend too much on the gift for my father. He’s want to impress him so he approves of us being together. Isn’t that sweet? But he’s not good on his bartering skills, but it adds to his charm, don’t you think?”
Mylorah batted her lashes and continued her brightest and ditziest smile but before the merchant could respond, she turned back to Dandioar, let go of his arm, only so she could grab both sides of his face and pull him down for a deep and long kiss. She moaned against his lips and almost pouted when she pulled away but brought out that ditzy smile once more. “You’re the sweetest, baby. Let’s go find my father.”
She gave a little finger wave to the vendor as she linked arms with Dandioar once more and guided him away from the stall. Once they were well away from the man, she started giggling and leaned her head on his shoulder. “Oh, Dandi. Shopping with you might actually make me like the chore.”

"H-hey?" he answered as Mylorah slid up next to him, linking her arm with his and hung on him like the tightest flight moth. He blinked as she simply opened her mouth and a very convincing explanation spilled from her lips. A light blush darkened his neck as she talked up his charm. Was he charming? Dandi doubted it, still quite firmly in the mind of his holder upbringing, though he'd been trying mightily to emulate what he saw in the weyr. It was different and exciting and new, something he'd never seen before but Dandi liked to think he was fitting in just nicely.
His eyes popped wide opened as she grabbed his face and planted a deep, wet kiss on him. It was a momentary surprise before instinct took over and a large palm fit against the small of her back to press her closer. Skin hot at her moan, Dandioar would have kept the kiss going if he could have but she pulled away with an adorable pout to her lips. Blue eyes, darkened just a touch, lifted to look at the merchant and he winked. The man, who's mouth had dropped open with a smirk, blinked quickly at him as Dandi winked. "Mmm," he murmured as he played along, "I think you just might be the sweetest. And you know your father just hates that you love me best."
As they walked away, Dandi's hand drifted to her rear where he griped it in a quick grope, might as well give the merchant a bigger show. Glancing over his shoulder he found the merchant still staring so he winked again and got an outraged looked before the man turned away. He chuckled as he moved his hand back away from her ass and where it needed to be, at her waist where it was safer, and listened to her giggling. "You're a terrible person, Mylorah," he laughed as he gave her a little bump with his hip. "He's going to be scandalized for the rest of the day," he continued to chuckle before he admitted, "I could use some help with it. I'm not all that great at it, ya know."
He had no doubt everyone knew he couldn't read properly but he wasn't going to admit it out loud. Too much pride and too much fear that someone would make fun of him. "Care to help me with negotiations?" he asked.

"Scandalized means he might not open his angry mouth as much. He's probably also jealous because I'm an amazing catch that you made and he didn't," Mylorah giggled again when he hip bumped her. Dandioar was a good man and she was glad she stepped in when she did, hating to think about what may have happened otherwise. He looked ready to fight, but she didn't know if he actually would or not and thankfully wasn't angry that he had been rescued by a girl either. Probably because he got a kiss out of it.
Still, she was surprised when he asked her to tag along a bit on his shopping to lend a hand. Mylorah knew he had been struggling with reading and had been in his place when they moved North. She had loved reading in Katila but they didn't have a lot of material to work with and being given a chance to get her hands on new pieces had her learning new words and slowly working her way through books. She was a lot more comfortable and confident now and knew Dandioar would get there at his own pace as well. She didn't want to rush him or make him feel bad for not learning earlier when it wasn't something everyone had access to. It was amazing that he was trying still instead of giving up and she loved that about her friend.
"I have to meet someone soon for snack date but I would love to help you out for a bit. We can even meet up again later as well. Truthfully," she glanced around like she was about to spill the biggest secret ever and leaned up to Dandioar's ear, "I absolutely hate shopping but you asked nicely and have a handsome smile so I can't refuse." She placed a quick kiss to his neck and returned to her casual hold of his arm as she glanced around.
"I do mean it when I say I'd love to help you more later as well when I'm free and recovered from the first trek. You might have to dance with me after as my reward though," she teased in a sing song voice, already imagining what Dandioar would be like on the dancefloor. She loved dancing but it didn't mean she knew all the special moves or was as graceful as others. But she had fun and she'd make sure Dandioar did as well.
"What else are you looking for?"
