"I thought you needed vegetables, not jewelry," Lionel commented as I browsed through the goods being sold.

I pointed at a hairpiece on display, asking, "How do you think this would look?"

He shrugged.

"If you want it, buy it and try it out."

I picked it up, looking at it from different angles, before setting it back down.

"I won't get it then," I finally decided, grabbing Lionel's arm to look at another stand. "Let's go find something else."

Lionel trailed along behind me, bored out of his mind as I stopped at each stand, looking through trinkets, debating over whether I should spend money, and eventually putting the item back.

"I don't really need this..." I muttered, placing another hairclip back down.

Lionel groaned in annoyance.

"You aren't buying anything, so why are we still here!?"

"Looking is fun too!"

"No it isn't," he rolled his eyes. "Ten more minutes and we're leaving."

"Fineee."

A small butterfly hair clip caught my eye, and I picked it up.

I tried it out, looking at myself in the small mirror on display, debating whether or not it fit my style.

"This is pretty cute, I think," I commented, beckoning Lionel to come over.

"Yeah, it looks fine," he shrugged.

The vendor looked over at me, smiling.

"Has that caught your eye, young lady? It comes in a pair with this clip," he said, holding out another butterfly clip with a similar design and color.

"I'll buy this," I said, taking out some coins to pay for it.

The vendor thanked me for my business, and I walked away, both hair clips in my hand.

"Why did you decide to buy this one and not the others?" Lionel asked me as we started walking back home.

"Because I'm gonna give one to Kira so we can be matching."

He sighed, and replied, "I'm just glad we're finally done here..."
