A Trip to the Market [Open][No-Kill]

Freedom. It was something that Sui still wasn't all that used to. To be able to come and go as she pleased, to have what she wanted, to say and do what she liked. She was so used to hiding in that little 'inner shell', being the quiet and harmless little bunny, that it was a bit strange for her to want to be out and in the public eye. Even now, as Sui moved through the crowd while giving anything that even remotely resembled a male a wide berth, she was covered nearly from head to toe.

Oh, it wasn't like the cold bothered her at all – in fact, the cold was natural and comfortable for the bunny. But, it was more-so to keep her appearance hidden. She stood out like a sore thumb otherwise due to her long, white, bunny ears. Which was precisely why she the hood of her gray colored hoodie jacket drawn up over her head so that not only were her ears hidden but her face was hidden in shadow.

As Sui stepped around another tightly knit group of people who were leaving the market, their hands full of shopping bags and their cheeks a rosy red from the wind, Sui dug her hands deeper into her hoodie pockets, tugging it down a bit and over top of the ice-blue knee length colored skirt she wore over top of her white leggings and white fur boots. In truth her hoodie was worn and well used in comparison to the rest of her brand new clothing – Vivian kept insisting on buying her things – but she wouldn't allow anyone to replace it: it was a comfort object, something to use to remind herself of where she was when a panic attack started to set in and her twin brother wasn't around.

Sui would walk another ten meters or so before she would pause and look around. ”Hmm..”, a noise of curiosity would escape her as she looked around for what she wanted. This wasn't her first trip to the market since Fubuki had begun to change for the better, but it still got a bit overwhelming if she lingered for too long. So just as Sui was beginning to feel her heartbeat accelerate and her nervousness spike, her ice-blue colored gaze settled on the shop in question – a book store. A smile instantly played across her face, and with a skip in her step she approached her goal.

Sui meant to be in, out, and done fairly quickly – she really didn't like busy places nor the market, especially when she was alone. However, the book store wasn't crowded: it was quiet with a very relaxing nature and the smell... well, there was almost no better smell then the scent that came from books. It was a comforting smell, and it caused Sui to linger for several hours instead of just five to ten minutes like she had originally planned.

She scanned every aisle, taking her time and working slowly so that she was sure not to miss anything. She had been given a great deal of pocket change and told to purchase whatever she wanted, so that was what she was going to do. Sui loved books – both those that held knowledge and those that held fantasy. She chose six books in total, and even stopped to give them all a short skim and read to ensure she would like them after she got them home – all of them were perfect.

She paid for her purchases, smiling as the book clerk took just as equally great care of her books as she had been doing when she bagged them. With her purchases held tightly to her chest she ventured back outside and towards home – she had had enough of the market for one day, and her grumbling stomach meant it was time to eat: Vivian had told her not to ignore her body, so she wasn't going to.
