Casa waved off the notion of make up, her eyes growing wide in a mixture of distaste and uncertainty. "I think we are fine for today!" She murmured, gathering the heavier brown skirt, the dresses, and her utilitarian clothing and folding them down compactly. As she went to put them into the pack, she paused, remembering her gift.
"Oh! But I do have a surprise for you. As a thank you!" Beaming brilliantly, she carefully lifted two ceramic jars from her bag, even almost unbearably hot to the touch. Setting them down carefully, she took a couple moments to load her boots and the rest of the clothing she'd brought into the bag, closing it securely. She liked the skirt and tunic enough to wear them for now. She even had some ideas on how to modify the skirt, but those could wait.
Once her things were packed up, she called Arddra over to where she had set down the two little containers, carefully opening the tops to reveal what was inside. At first it was just the steaming sand; after a moment or two, Casa let her fingers brush it away to reveal two very hardened egg shells, each nestled tightly into the hot sand around it.
"Tada!" She said, her eyes bright. This was an area SHE knew well, and one she could easily share with her friend. "These two are for you. They aren't far from hatching; probably the next day or two. Me and O'wain went and found 'em, and I claimed these two for you. I know you said you were interested in some." She glanced from the eggs to Arddra, excited to see how the woman would react.
