"I did, and I was!", she exclaimed (though still in her even and measured voice). "Dressed much as I am today as well. I do occasionally peruse the shops down the main section of the lane. I admit I am not typically there to buy, though." She took another sip.
Pausing for a moment, she glanced at the men again who were still speaking in hushed voices to the side and rolled her eyes. Turning back to Aya she continued. "How should I describe Master Tarrot's shop? Quaint. Cramped. If I hadn't known better I would say it is an accident waiting to happen. On more than one occasion I found myself bumping into some gaudy piece of art that was precariously placed too close to the aisle. It is a wonder that half his stock does not wind up broken by the sun's setting. Still, he had almost anything you could hope to find for such a small space. I parted satisfied at having found a new book and an amber broach for my friend Jancis."
She canted her head for a moment in thought. Unfortunately her 'shopper's sense' was not so practical as Aya's was perhaps. "I believe the price was reasonable. Though I am not one to argue, as you know. Oh, was there something you were looking for?"
