Time: Early evening
Location: Brea town centre
Characters: Rosalind, Old Man Cobbs
Old Man Cobbs: "Probably trade some livestock, got to keep the blood lines from inbreeding" he explained.?
He smiled at Rosalind, "I'll try to make the venture to Stob no thrills and quick. Virgil has already let me know how much trouble he'll have sleeping at the ranch alone". Cobbs mused because there were times that Virgil was still very much that boy from Ox Bow. He really should make the trip there one Spring soon, maybe cut through the Barrow as a shorter route...
"So a new dress, is there a special occasion?" he asked wondering if perhaps he forgot Virgil's birthday or something.
------------------------------------------------------------
¡°Do I need a special occasion to want a new dress?¡± Rosalind asked rhetorically, giving Cobbs a smile as they reached her booth. Leaning over the table set up in front, she procured two cups. ¡°Honestly, I¡¯m a creature of luxury. I simply want some change. I¡¯ll give away an old dress or two to somebody who needs them more than I do,¡± she said as she poured honey wine first into one cup, then the other. The golden drink had a sweet aroma and deceptively sweet taste, but it packed a donkey punch. She was sure even Cobbs would wobble if he had more than two cups of it.?
¡°To a quick, successful and uneventful trip then,¡± she said, touching her cup gently to his before she took a sip. ¡°And you know, if you find some rare fabric and bring back for Nova as a gift, she¡¯ll probably sing your praises for weeks,¡± she added. She had a fondness for the seamstress, after all, it was she who created Rosalind¡¯s favourite clothes.?
