Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

Niall was definitely looking a bit worse for the wear; Huttball was not a gentle sport, after all. And he'd been in that altercation, earlier. Still, his spirits seemed high as he walked around the Festival, a new bag of souvenirs under his arm.

As he walked, he cast a curious glance at his companion. He knew this sort of place was sometimes a bit of a challenge for her. But sometimes it wasn't. It was hard to tell.

"Is there anything you have your eye on?" He asked her, smiling gently.

Ashlin was something of the opposite - she looked clean and mostly uninjured, just a patch on her arm from the previous day. Her spirits are less high, though, while she was truly doing her best to fake a positive attitude. She didn't want to bother anyone more than she already had.

She cast a few glances around the festival, realizing she should have been paying more attention to her surroundings. "Um... I haven't seen anything yet. Sometimes people sell rare model ship kits at these things. You never know what you'll find."

He smiled. "Worth a look. Let's go over there." He jerked his head. "Come on, I'll get you something." He lead the way, once more walking slowly.

As they walked, he sighed pensively. "I'm looking for something for Aly. It's actually our anniversary in a few days, you know."

"Sure, though I have a little left," she replied with a small smile as she followed after. "What does she like? Or like to do?"

"Hmmm..." Niall smiled. "She likes beautiful things. Articles of clothing. Shoes. Dancing." He pursed his lips. "She's a big fan of Galaxy Commando. That's kinda our show. But we have them all already, of course."

He smiled wryly. "It's hard to shop for someone who's more fashionable than you are. Not that I'm unfashionable..." Niall shrugged modestly. "But Aly's always had an eye for such things."

"Oh, hmm... I could guess, but I'm in the same boat. I'm way less fashionable than you are, never mind her," she replied apologetically. "I'd probably wear the same outfit every day if people didn't comment on that sort of thing."

"I do wear this cape a lot." Niall admitted. "But there's something about it... I really thing fanciferous is the only way to describe it."

He guided them through an area with a various wares for sale. Niall kept an idle eye out. "How has the Festival been for you otherwise?"
