All of this was very strange to Jayden, as it was completely unlike any preconceptions she had once held about Oak town, but that didn't matter, because she was here for one reason, and one reason only: shopping. The main streets in Oak was full of stalls, selling all sorts of curiosities, and Jayden made a point of going between each one, browsing all the wares that were on offer, but not currently buying anything. The wind moved through her hair, something Jayden paid no notice too, but many others. As her hair parted, her guild mark was seen on the back of her neck, but the young woman didn't see any reason to concern herself with that, not while she was shopping that was.

Just as he turned another corner, it happened, tragedy struck. He saw a blur come out of nowhere and smack the noodles out of his hand, as he stumbled into a mail drop box. He collected himself and looked down at his downed noodles letting out a gasp. “No, no, no! MIso!” he got on his knees and leaned over the spilled cup, the brown broth spilling onto the concrete in a horrific scene, Please don’t leave me.” he tried to scoop the noodles back into the cup but it just wasn’t the same, they belonged to the ground now. Through gritted teeth and furious eyes he looked up at who made him spill his snack. Who could do such a thing.

Now, while it was true that Jayden wasn't extremely materialistic about anything beyond flowers and books, she hated it when she got anything on her. And that included ramen from a stranger turning the same corner as her but from the opposite direction. Luckily, most of the contents of the man's bowl fell to the ground, but a few stray noodles landed on Jayden's dress, causing her to twitch for just a second as anger came, and passed. She took a deep breath, pulled a napkin out from under her sleeve, and picked the extra noodles off her dress, throwing them onto the ground but taking care not to get any more juice on her clothes or, heaven forbid, her skin.
As she discarded the napkin, folded over so the residue would not touch her skin, back up her sleeve, Jayden realised how upset the man had looked. She had not noticed before because she had been too busy caring about her dress. Mentally scolding herself for her inconsideration, she frantically apologised to the distraught man. "Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for bumping into you and ruining your meal. Please, let me buy you another one to make it up to you, it's the least I can do. Oh, I'm so sorry" Her tone was sincere, and she was serious about buying the man another bowl, no matter the price. Her words flowed like honey from her mouth, as the slightly higher-than-average class upbringing poked through for just a moment.

The ultimate insult to injury was when she plucked the still salvageable noodles off of her dress and threw them coldly to the ground. Baron could feel his eyes well with messy, hot tears as he reached out for the noodles as they fell only to retract his hands immediately with a light gasp. How evil could one woman be? Pain made his heart ache, his eyes closed tightly at the grizzly scene, he wondered, pondered why she would do this, maybe it was an accident he wanted to believe it as such but his heart ached so much for his fallen meal that ignorance and assertion had taken over, she was at fault but so was he, though now there was nothing he could do to save them, he had failed the food entrusted to him so much so that they now belonged to the vermin of Oak town… What was he to do?
For a moment he wouldn’t speak, he’d instead look up at her like a child coursed with the pain of losing their favorite toy. There was nothing left but juice on his knees, it was all useless now. He heard her apology, he didn’t care his lower lip withdrew into his mouth as he bit on it to hold his tongue from slipping. She did seem mortified for hurting him deeply, thus she would be forgiven. Normally he’d talk to her with a sultry tone telling her that she’d have to give him back out of what he paid for his noodles out of her ass, but no, he was not in a mood to fight, plus she looked pretty strong and uh… Baron didn’t hit girls so instead he nodded his head and wiped his eyes.
“It’s fine… It was an accident… Wasn’t it?” he glanced at her with sore eyes, hoping she’d tell the truth. “You can be my next meal in any case.” he’d shrug, “I need more velvet in my diet in fact... You're coming with me lady! We're going to Baska!"
and with that he'd attempt to take her by her hand and run down the street to uh, Baska.
