It hadn’t taken Tazikel long at all to find something for his youngest sister. Bazera had always been easy to shop for, and he had found multiple things she’d like within minutes. One pair of silver earrings with small blue stones stood out though, so he’d asked the merchant to put those aside for him while he continued shopping. He picked out a simple gold chain for his other sister, though Tazikel had no idea when he’d see her next, now that she lived inconveniently far away with her husband. Maybe he’d need to come up with an excuse to visit.
He still wanted to find something for Itherida, but it was a little harder to find something for his brother’s wife. Tazikel spent as much time out of the house as he could, while Itherida seemed to rarely leave, and he didn’t know her as well as perhaps he should. Getting her a gift could maybe help change that, but it was hard to pick something that she’d probably like that wasn’t a little too much either. A voice interrupted Tazikel overthinking a few pairs of earrings, and he turned to see who it was. He was surprised by his answer.
“Azrin!” he greeted, smiling at the other man as he recognized him, “you got out of the meeting too, did you?” Tazikel hadn’t been aware Azrin was going to be in Tillek at all, he’d only known of the one Lord from High Reaches who was going to meet with his father. Well, clearly Azrin wasn’t meeting with them, but he was visiting. Clearly, being caught unawares was a side effect of getting out of the house as soon as possible when he heard ‘meeting with a Lord’ and not getting more details. “Lady Xyliah, you’re here as well, I see. Welcome to Tillek,” Tazikel said, turning to the women next to Azrin, who he thankfully recognized. That made some sense, then. Jalazmar had gotten his brother to keep his wife company while he was stuck talking with Tazikel’s father. Satisfied that he had a decent understanding of what was going on, Tazikel nodded to himself. “I am having a bit of trouble, actually, if you’d like to help. Looking for a gift for my sister-in-law, in fact. You seem to be good at finding sister-in-law gifts, so your advice would be invaluable.” He gestured towards Xyliah’s hand, where she was still sporting the ring they had just picked out. Tazikel knew it was from the shop they were in, since he’d glanced at that particular ring display a few minutes before, and while he hadn’t been eavesdropping, he thought he’d overheard that he was buying it for her.
