M’dox grinned when T’bia agreed the scarf matched Jycenth. He had a pretty good eye for colors, but he didn’t know Jycenth that well, so it was nice that the dragon’s rider, who saw Jycenth every day, agreed with him. He carefully held it out for T’bia to examine, adjusting his hold on it so T’bia could see all of it.
“Of course!” M’dox said quickly, giving T’bia an affirmative nod. It’s not like he had a reason to buy a scarf that looked like Jycenth. In fact, that would almost certainly be a little weird, especially now that he had pointed it out to T’bia! At the suggestion they look for a Riquarth-scarf, M’dox blinked for a moment as he was left with the blue scarf and T’bia started looking through the brown scarves. He headed over to join the bluerider, carefully looping the blue scarf around T’bia’s neck.
“Here. Since you’re getting it.” M’dox said, not making eye contact as he too started looking at the brown scarves. After a few minutes, the two of them managed to find a scarf M’dox deemed suitably similar to Riquarth, a lighter brown with darker brown flower designs on it. M’dox thought the pattern was pretty, even if it wasn’t overly ‘Riquarth’ in style, and the colors matched pretty well. He didn’t want to spend the entire time in the store buying a scarf for himself, especially since he still wanted to get a gift for a family member or two, so he decided to just get it, and showed the winning scarf to T’bia.
After hearing T'bia's response to the winning scarf, M'dox meandered along the wall, poking through the racks. There were a couple shawls his mother might like, a bit finer that what he knew she had or could buy at home. He chose a light pink one with blue flowers embroidered around the edges. Reds and pinks were a bit harder to come by in cotholds, so something like this would be some nice finery for her.
Folding the shawl and resting it over his arm with the scarf, another garment caught his eye. It was a long skirt, done in blue and grey, that brought forward a memory. He pulled the flowing skirt from the rack to get a better look at it. The skirt he remembered had been one of Enfrai's, a favorite of hers. She'd refused to give it over to the rag bag when she grew too tall to wear it, and instead held onto the heavily patched skirt and made him wear it. A lot. Apparently, if she couldn't wear it she still wanted to see it being worn. The one in the shop was hardly identical, but it was reminiscent enough of it that, were he to get it for her, she would likely know what it was a reference to.
"What do you think?" M'dox asked T'bia, holding the skirt up against himself to check the length, smoothing a fold out so the measurement would be more accurate. A few breaths later, he realized what he was implying and blushed heavily, rushing his words to explain. "My sister is about my height. This would probably fit her, right?"
