36. Market

The first time Duo had gone with Quatre to the Arabian market and watched him haggle with the vendors – speaking too fast for Duo to catch all the words – he had been angry at how much Quatre fought to save a few credits when he certainly didn't need them; it was another vendor, standing close, who explained to Duo that the haggle wasn't about the money, but about dance: it was a contest of wit, strategy and perseverance, and it was beautiful to watch.

I just love your sentences. I love how much they're learning about each other. It's so great to watch this friendship grow.

You got the Christmas card just now? I'm going to have to send it at Halloween next time. ^_^

Thank you so much! This is a great way to explore friendship, and think about the boys a little more (as if I don't already do that a lot ^^;;)

Yeah, I got the card yesterday morning. I wasn't expecting one so it was a great surprise. Thank you! *hugs*

I love this. How you perceive something is very much up to the information you have, and the understanding of a culture and this shows that so very clearly.

Thank you!

There are always different sides to everything, and its good to see stuff from another angle now and then. It helps us get a clearer view. ^_^

And what a nice way to celebrate you 400th post!

I failed miserably at that dance! Quatre would be beautiful at it, ne?

I can do a decent dance but I'm still an amateur.

Quatre would be amazing! The vendors wouldn't know what hit them.

Thanks for the comment!

*grins* Some times the process is better than the owning.

It's about winning, at the end. Proving who's smarter, wittier, and testing each other. I think that's what Quatre likes it so much, and why, even though he can, he wouldn't pay a penny more than what was agreed. The selles wouldn't appreciate it.
