(Ah, you're good! Welcome back! :)
"We're going to the markets to get things for taveni-holu," Kuno answered, heading in the direction of the nearest exit. His tone was sharp, but he was trying his best to not let Kenji know just how annoyed he was that this was happening. The holiday was one he especially enjoyed, and it would be the first one that could be celebrated fully since the war first began. Kuno pushed open a side door and stepped out into the edge of a huge square. There were quite a few vendors there, but none were the ones that Kuno needed to visit. The queens had given him a very specific list of people to visit– apparently, they'd told them what they wanted in advance. He and Kenji just needed to pick them up. Kuno wove his way through the square, checking every once in a while to make sure Kenji was still near.
(thank you!!)
"Taveni-holu," Kenji echoed slowly, properly butchering the pronunciation of the language. He did smirk, though, when he heard the sharp edge in Kuno's. Kuno seemed to be growing bothered by him, and that was exactly what he wanted to hear. It had been his current goal, after all. He wondered why he was supposed to be going with Kuno and how easy it would be to sneak off. There were no guards with them, and it was just Kuno. He was sure that, with his knowledge of the streets, it would not be too difficult to slip away. Of course, he did not know about the little spell that was put on him to make him stay near. He would follow along at a bored sort of pace, stopping briefly at times to look at different stands.
Kuno turned onto a smaller street, idly wondering if Kenji would keep following him nicely and if not, when he would try to get out of there. Hopefully, he wouldn't try to get away, because then Kuno would have to follow him and it would be a whole thing. Maybe he should have literally tied himself to Kenji. Kuno checked the spell, then stopped in front of the first building he was supposed to stop at. "We're getting golden dewdrops here. Do you know what they symbolize?" Kuno asked in a slightly bored voice, turning to look over his shoulder. He didn't expect Kenji to know the answer, but the queens had encouraged him to teach some things to the prince.
