I looked from the ribbon to her red hair. The color did seem to go with her hair quite well. I nodded my yes and then said, "I think green and red goes well together. The ribbon will stand out and be noticable."

"Hmm, then I think I will take it," I said.
I turned to the seller. "May I please have ten ribbons in assorted colors, including these two?"
The seller nodded in agreement, and began to make a bundle of ribbons.

I waited patently as Maeve made her transaction. I didn't know if she really wanted me to hang around, but I knew that just walking off could be considered rude. I was trying to refine my social skills, not make them worse. Besides that, Maeve didn't seem to hold back and just speak her thoughts. I liked that, it made it easier to talk to her.

I finished paying for my ribbons, and turned back to Caine. "Shall we walk back up the mont?" I asked.

"Sure," I told her. I had no plans for the day and I had enjoyed her company so far.
"Do you watch a lot of kids at Heliotrope?" I asked. Curious how her life differed from mine.

"Just ten," I said. "I'm primarily responsible for teaching, but I help with nursing them too."

"Are 10 kids difficult to watch?" I asked. I wondered how a person would deal with 10 kids who had grown up like me. With much difficulty, I thought.

"No, not really," I said. "They are all darlings, and eager to please. Sometimes one will misbehave, but a brief chastisement and then an embrace usually sets things right again."

"It sounds like you have a fine group of kids," I said, with a smile. "Will they all grow up to be members of Heliotrope?"

"I'm not sure yet," I said. "I think most will. Some are already showing to which houses they will be better suited. There is at least one boy who I think will end up at Cereus, though of course I do not know for certain."

"If your boy does end up at Cereus," I said, "tell him to find me. I wouldn't mind showing him around and letting him know how things work."

"I certainly will," I said. "I hope that all our boys and girls will find role models as the houses they end up at."

I nodded, she really cared about her children. That was easy to see. We were still in the market. I had no plans to actually buy anything. "Do you need anything else?" I asked.

I shook my head. "No," I said. "I think I have to go home now."

I nodded. I had done my duty today as well, I would enjoying going back to the safe confins of my room.
"Thank You," I said, "for the companionship, I hope that we will see each other again."

"You're welcome," I said. "And thank you for shopping with me, I hope I did not bore you too badly. Perhaps we shall see each other soon."

I wasn't bored and was worried I had came across that way. "Oh no,"I said with a little more urgency than what was needed, "you didn't bore me. I do hope we meet again soon." I smiled at her to show that I really meant what I said.

I nodded. We were nearly at Heliotrope. "Goodbye, Caine," I said.

I bid her a warm farewell and then headed toward my own house. While I enjoyed my time with Maeve very much, all of the noise and the crowds made me want to spend the rest of the evening in the sanctity of my room.
