[NRPG:  Kat, I just got your note about not writing till you got your post
done and out, but Carolyn had suggested this to me a bit ago, and we are
going to do this between us for a bit.  So you've no worries with this
post.  

Carolyn, sorry for taking so long to get back to you.  My work hours are
killing me and I have to write on my days off.  :P]

< Ashelle ... *before* meeting up with Mara >

Wandering around and enjoying the fresh air, and peace..and accompanying
her steps with soft song, Ashelle happened across a tiny shop.  She
wandered closer, and a smile lit her face as she realized exactly what it
was...a tailor shop!

She stepped inside, still humming, and smiled as she noticed a
grandfatherly type man behind the counter, and he'd stopped whatever he
was doing to look over at her and listen to her humming.

Stopping her song, Ashelle wandered up to the counter, and smiled.

"Hello, Sir.  I'm Ashelle, I was just recently Searched and I was
wondering if I might possibly get a few things here, as far as clothes and
other items?  I have a few coins from my pay at the tavern where I was
singing, so I can afford to pay you.  Or, I can work off anything that I
owe?  I don't really need all that much....."

She waited for the man, she was guessing proprietor, to answer, and
glanced around at a few of the things set out on display...immediately
falling in love with one of the tunics.
