He couldn't help but look at the barmaids' figures as they left to enjoy the drinks he had paid for. They left, blushing crimson.
He turned back to Nienna who was speaking to the barkeep's wife.
He finished the last of his ale, " what do you wish to do now?"

"We are going shopping." she grinned, again, very slyly. She fingered the button on the underside of one of her vambraces. Would he use them? He already knew how to fight with two swords. She wanted to ask him. Yet she wanted it to be a surprise. "Follow me." she motioned to him and walked out the door and turned to go to the tannery. It would be her engagement gift to him.

He let out a small sigh. "Women and their need to shop" he murmered with a rueful grin.
He left the inn, giving the bar maids a final wink before departing.
He took her hand and kissed it, " where to first? "

"The Tannery." she smiled. She didn't need a wedding dress. She knew the vambraces would be costly, and so would a dress. She led him to the small tannery where a rather jovial, and quite round, man was working. "Excuse me, I need something specially made." she smiled at the man as he walked over "What can I do fer ya?" he took her hand and kissed it in greeting "Perhaps a fitted leather breastplate for you?" the man grinned, Nienna blushed. "I need him to be measured and fitted for vambraces." she wasn't sure how to reveal that she also needed the blade mechanism.

He looked at Nienna, surprised at her request. Moving closer to her and muttering to her" surely money would be better spent on your wedding dress"
He didn't want her to use all her money on him.
"Are you sure, love? I am quite safe without them you know"

"The vambraces are but two more weapons. And I would love to see you wear them. If you would use them." she grinned, knowing he didn't know they were weapons. The Tanner began making measurements, knowing what she meant by them being weapons. He had once made a pair in the same fashion.

Not entirely sure what she meant, he merely nodded and allowed the tanner to take the measurements he needed.
"Am I needed any longer? I have business in town, which I would see to alone" he added with a wink in Nienna's direction.

The Tanner looked up, grinning. "No sir, we are finished." he looked at Nienna "Maybe you should show the poor lad what you meant by weapons." the man chuckled. Nienna sent them a crooked smile, stepped back a few feet and pressed both buttons on her vambraces simultaneously. The blades, as long as her forearm, popped out quickly, and she held them up in front of her. "see?" she laughed, "two more weapons, and your hands are free while using them." she wiggled her fingers. "Where to Next, Niko?" she pushed the buttons again, and the blades retracted.

''That is quite impressive'' Niko had never seen weapons such as those before.
''Thank you both.Now, perhaps we should go and take a look at the dresses available for you''
He resolved to find out which dress it was that she fancied the most.
He took her hand and led her to the shop before she had a chance to speak, waving to the tanner before he left. '' We'll return soon''

She stopped in front of the door to the dress shop "Niko, it really isn't necessary." she didn't have money left for the dress, which was alright with her, she couldn't wait to see him wear the vambraces and test the blades. She looked about, noticing another shop "We can get supplies there." she pointed and smiled, tugging his hand a bit.

He didn't move, still holding her hand. He pulled her into a kiss, ''I shall kiss you into agreeing with me''
''We need not buy anything, just look.'' Shooting her a stubborn look, plainly telling her that he would not be swayed. He opened the dress shop door for her, waiting for her to enter before he would follow her.

She readily kissed him back, then was about to reply when she saw the stubborn look on his face. "You are going to stand there till I go in, aren't you..." it was more of a statement than a question. She resigned herself and stepped inside, greeted by a whole shop full of dresses. She balked and almost bolted out the door. Dresses and her did not agree.

''I think we both know the answer'' He smiled and went in with her. The shop was full of dresses of different styles, shapes and even colors.
A small smiling man came towards them '' May I be of assistance?'' he asked surveying them both.
He gave Nienna's hand a gentle squeeze as he said'' We are just here to look''
''Is there anything to your liking?' he murmered to her

She whispered back to him "you know me and dresses." yet her eyes was cought by one. She surveyed it from across the room. It would reveal her figure, she could see, and she normally did not wear those dresses. Yet as she looked at it, she began to think she liked it. It was white, with an off the shoulder neckline and sleeves that came down and widened into bell sleeves. The ends of the sleeves would reach to where her knees would be. The top of it would reveal her neck and shoulders. There was a deep blue sash tied about the waist that would just fall on the hips, the ends of which would hang in front of the gown. The same deep blue had been sewn into an embelishment on the neckline. It was satin. And yet, it was more of a simple gown than the elaborate dresses hanging around it.

Laughing, he followed her gaze to the dress she was looking at.
''May we see that one?'' he indicated to the dress.
''Of course'' he said, moving and bringing it to Nienna for a closer look.
''Is this the dress you want to wear while we marry?''he asked, looking her directly in the eyes. ''You need but ask''

Her eyes got wide at his question "I cannot ask you to buy this." her voice was quiet, and she reached out to touch the light fabric. "We don't even know if it would fit." she said with a nervous laugh. Her fingers found the blue sash, and she ran her hand down the length of the end of it. She did like it, yet she did not expect him to get it for her, it was too much.
