Myles walked around the market, bobbin up and down in the market Myles could feel his neck starting to hurt. The still growing teen couldn’t’ wait till he was tall enough to see over the crowds. Bella said he should get that tall at least, if not more.
He was looking for Miss Viv. He had promised to help with the shopping, and then Master Noel was meeting them for lunch at his favorite eatery. It was going to be a good day, now if only he could find her…
After about 20 minutes he finally spotted her, her silver colored hair gave her away. “Miss Viv!” He slipped through the crowds easily now that he wasn’t worried about missing her in the crowds. “Miss Viviana! Found you! Sorry that I’m late!” He came up behind her, lightly touching a paw to her shoulder so she would know he was there. “Where to first Miss Viv?”

Viv also spotted Myles. He had volunteered to help with some shopping. Viv found that if she shopped at the market herself she found more bargains for the Lodge rather then having everything delivered by a large company. Tightly she held the list in her paw as she made her way through the crowd.
The femme managed to get turned around. At first she thought that she lost Myles but soon she felt a paw on her shoulder. Viv spun around and grinned. "Oh hey Myles! Thanks for coming to help. I guess we could make our way this way." Viv pointed in the direction in which she was talking about. "I saw a nice fish stand over there and they were having a sale." Viv grinned at Myles.
It was a little awkward for her for a bit, being in a new place and trying to get to know new beasts, but Viv adjusted pretty quickly. The fear of her father finding her also was beginning to disappear. Nonchalantly she sauntered over toward the stand and began to pick out the most delicious looking pieces of fish as she turned to speak with Myles. "So Myles... Tell me... Do you have family that lives in this area?" Until this time she's never gotten the chance to get to know Myles. Viv was clearly eager to communicate with him.

Myles smiled to himself when he noticed which stand Viv chose. It was the best stand in the market, though the Old Ratess who ran it was a bear to haggle with on the best of days, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood today... Myles was reaching out to tug the basket from Viv's paw, his Ma had never carried the basket when he was around.. then he got distracted by another beast bumped into him. He waved his paws around and nearly fell, but managed to regain his pawing just in time. He was glad that he was behind Miss Viv so she didn't see his little lack of coordination.
He was distracted enough that he didn't take the basket just yet. He barely heard Miss Viv's questoin. "Family Ma'am?" Myles had to pause a moment to collect himself. "Of, Yes Ma'am," He waved a paw down a side street "We all live down Alley street, fifth house on the left." Myles rolled his eye's, "can't miss it, it's the only one with bright yellow shutters and dark blue curtains..."

Viv hated feeling like there was a servant following in her wake. She motioned him forward. It would be nice to talk when they were side by side, it being harder to hear when he was behind her.
The femme was a bit uneasy today though. Something in the air just didn't feel right but she simply dismissed them and thought herself to be over reacting.
Back to the conversation with Myles.... Viv smiled. It was nice to know that Myles had a family to go home to. "I have family as well. In fact that should have arrived via ship by now." Viv swiped a piece of hair out of her eyes as she looked at Myles. She wondered if he would question her further.
In the meantime the family strong-arm and right-paw beast, a male rat who went by the name of Ratkin, was indeed following them. After Val's escape her father was even more eager to bring Viv back to him so that 'she' could be the one to save the family.

Myles smiled as he came up beside her, missing the basket as he tripped, once again. 'Oh really..." he sighed to himself. "Sorry about that Miss Viv." He rubbed a paw across his face. "I can't seem to keep my paw's under me today." He looked around, catching sight of a large rat stopped at the entrance of an alleyway. Was he looking this way? He shook his shoulders and brushed it off. There wouldn't be anyone fallowing them. "Where do you come from anyway Miss Viv?" Myles was reaching to try and snag the basket again, when he felt two small paws grab his own. "Myles! Myles, Where ya been?" two excited voices tripped over each other as the twins, Taylor and Manny pulled on their older brother's jacket. "Hey guy's cut it out, I'm working right now." Both of them looked up at him, "Really? Captain isn't here..." started Taylor, Myles shook his head, "Even though he's.." "... And sense you are his personal servant..." Both boy's looked at each and grinned as they finished together, "You're not working today! Myles clapped a paw to his forehead. Talking to his little brothers as often like talking to a brick wall. He knelt down in fron of them. "Listen guy's, today Captain assigned me to work with the new manager today." He stood and finally managed to take the basket, "Taylor, Manny, let me introduce you to Miss Viviana Mist." Both twins looked up at her, the sun glinting off of their golden-brown fur, glinting on their birthmarks, one gold-ish spot of fur over an eyebrow, the right one for Manny, left for Taylor. "He looked up and shrugged "Miss Viv, may I introduce my, rather troublesome siblings, well two of them at least. Manny and Taylor," He rested a paw on each shoulder as he said their names. The boy's looked at each other, and then up at Viv. "Hi! you're pretty!"[bold is Manny, italics is Taylor, both is them speacking at the same time ]

By the expression on Viviana's face she was very surprised and pleased when Myles' twin brothers showed up. If Myles was afraid that Noel would find out about their encounter he wouldn't have to worry about it. Viv wasn't about to say a thing. She was enjoying herself to much. She loved young ones! And even more so every time she got to interact with them.
She watched the interaction with Myles and his brothers. A smile painted her face and it got wider when the twins shouted that she was pretty. Viv stepped forward and performed a graceful curtsy, immediately after reaching out to shake their paws like young gentle-beasts. "It's nice to meet such handsome young ones." After shaking their paws she stepped back and then looked toward Myles.

Myles smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yes well, bug off you two." He shoved them playfully. "I still have a job to do today." He knelt down and winked at them. 'You two can follow us, see if I can spot you ok?" Both boy's grinned so much that their smiled threatened to break off of their faces. "OK Myles! See you soon!" Both of them flashed a smile at Viv and ran off into the crowd.
Myles rose up, brushing off his trousers as did. "Well, we won't be seeing them again, for about three minutes," He flashed a smile of his own. "They like to think I don't ever see them, but I do." By now they had reached the stalls. "Where to first Miss Viv?"

The kat-tess put a paw over her mouth, stifling back a giggle. The boys were so darn cute that it was hard to not just go up to them and give them big hugs and kisses. But Viviana refrained herself and simply watched Myles interaction with them. He was a great big-brother. Viv began to look at him in a new light.
After they scampered away Myles asked Viv a question. She turned to him and almost shyly twisted her paws together in the front of her. "I've been wanting to get Noel a gift but I'm unsure of what he would like. It would be a thank you present for hiring me... and... so on. What do you think that he would like? I'd like to get him something personal yet not intrusive. I think that you know him best of all Myles. Will you help me?" Viv looked at him with a large grin. How could one refuse such an alluring smile?
Off in the distance the rat made like he was just a part of the crowd. Some looked at him strangely, knowing full well that they've never seen him here or around before. And so his presence didn't go completely unnoticed. Viv did however have the weirdest feeling that someone was watching her. In the back of her mind she began to wonder how Val was doing. The twins were so close that they could actually feel the other stub their toe when not in each other's company. Viv had to admit that she's felt rather beat up lately.

Myles looked at her., his expression unreadable. "A gift for Mr. Noel? hmmm " Myles pulled up a paw and stroked his chin, something he had picked up from Noel. He stood for a moment, debating whether he should tell Miss Viv about the collection or not. Soon enough he decided and smiled. "Follow me Miss Viv, I know exactly the place to go."
Myles lead the way, stopping ever so often to point out flashes of brown fur as the twins flitted from booth to booth ahead of them. What he didn't see was the rat behind them. Of course he didn't know to be on the lookout for a gray rat either. Soon enough he stopped at the entrance to an alley way. It wasn't to bad as alley's go, the buildings on either side were decent looking, the alley was semi-clean, though not much light came in, giving it a slightly gloomy feeling to it.
Leading the way, and helping Viviana over the debris in the way. He paused before entering, speaking to the door post, "Mr. Noel has a collection, its a bit different than what most beasts like him would collect." He rubbed a paw across his head. "Prisms, or glass figurines, that kind of thing." Myles smiled to himself, remembering the day that Noel had shown him the collection. He had drawn a curtain over the window, and removed a box from under the desk. It had been filled with the pieces that glitered from the glow of the candles. "His mother gave him his first one, a little blue piece of crystal with that glints really nicely in the light."
Myles looked down at Viv, he couldn't help it, he was a good 6 inches taller than her, and still growing. "Please don't tell him I told you." He shrugged, scuffing the ground with his footpaws. "I just think that you are good for him." He mumbled to himself, so Viv might've caught this, might not have." Myles brightened and raised his voice, "And he's been collecting those things by himself, then my family started giving them to him after i told them about the collection." He shrugged and turned to the door. "This is the best place to find amazing pieces that are just the right size for the case."
[I'll leave the store to you if you want Jayd, if not, pm and I'll expand on this a bit.]

Viv grinned when Myles gave in to tell her about Noel's private collection of crystals. This pleased the femme kat very much. To know something intimate about Noel tickled her body, right to the tips of her footpaws.
She followed him forward and giggled when her shopping companion kept pointing out the twins that were dodging from here to there ahead of them. But Viv's face turned as white as a ghost when she thought that she caught a glimpse of a familiar grey fur. Instantly she refused to believe it, thinking that she was just seeing things. Yes it was just her imagination working over time.
"Please don't tell him I told you." Myles then shrugged, scuffing the ground with his footpaws. "I just think that you are good for him." He then mumbled to himself, Oh yes... Viviana did catch the last part. She smiled up at him and blushed slightly. Part of her wished that Noel would take more of a liking to her. He always seemed so distant. Perhaps Viv would talk to Myles more about this later.
They got to the shop and then entered. Viv's breath was caught in her throat. The crystals were artwork, in Viv's modest opinion. From there she fluttered like a butterfly from piece to piece. This would be a hard decision to make. They were all so beautiful.
Finally her eyes fell upon two in particular crystals. They were both hanging upon the most valuable gold chains and were both flat and round. The difference between them were their size. One was smaller, better suiting a female and the other one was larger, better suited for a male. They were both very rare. The larger one was the deepest and most beautiful green. The smaller one was the deepest and most beautiful purple. But when looking into them both all the colors of the rainbow could be seen through them. It was almost as if one could see the future and the past. Indeed there was something magical about them. Viv needed to get the both. She could not split the pair up.
Viv spun around on her footpaws and smiled, almost shouting. "I want these! Please box them up in pretty boxes and wrap the larger one. It's a gift." It was like the female was floating on air. She gracefully made her way over to Myles and laughed. "Do you think that he'll like it Myles? Oh I'm so excited about it! I can't wait to see his face when he opens it!" Viv was on cloud nine and climbing. "Hey! After this... Do you want to get a snack? My treat. Well the company's treat." Viv laughed again and danced over to the crafts-beast who was happily wrapping the larger necklace.
