The Beast

[TerraWinters]

Terra sat on a small stool, a hand made wicker basket at her side filled with roughly cut treated cloth, as she sat watching a small dog so that she could draw it. black Coal covered her fingers and stains her dress, her hair hung long down her neck and flowed over her face in the breeze. the market was loud and busy for a n early spring morning making her work all the more challenging because of the movement. she sat next to a fruit merchant the one her brought her along in his cart.

The fruit boy, Zachary, smirked at Terra, tipping his hat and ruffling his ginger brown hair in the process. "Mornin', Ter. Ready for your morning ride?" The foods he had stacked up were screwed up by her presence, but if the cost of having one good friend was a few out-of-place nectarines, that was a price he was willing to pay.

she giggles softly and puts her paper away and lifts her basket "do you need any help at all? i mean you do so much for me" she blushes lightly and sets her basket in the cart along side a pile of apples. she cleans her hand on the apron of her dress smearing more coal on the light blue dress.

Zachary smiles crookedly, his teeth a stark contrast to his dark skin. "Nah, m'lady, you're fine. Keep me company though, will you? Business is gettin' slow..." After a small chuckle, he mutters, "And maybe could you not eat another one of my apples?"

she blushes "sorry...i was hungry...i ill pay you for it, i still have money from my last drawing....i had just figured with it bruised like it was, it would not be sold...forgive me." she bows and moves closer to help him clean up her bare feet light on the ground

Zachary sighs good-naturedly. "Eh, I'll be okay. Sure it was bruised?"
