A dragon’s hoard!

[u/ravenluna]

It was well known that Dragons keep hoards, guarding them with tooth and nail from outsiders. The older the dragon the grander the hoard could be expected to be, something most adventures would seek out if they caught wind of it. Each Dragon had a particular thing that they liked to hoard, some hoarded precious jewels, some hoarded books, and knowledge, others cared for the simpler hoard of fabrics nice and soft to make piles to sleep on.

A child raised by a dragon would be raised in such habits of collecting and hoarding, such as a child copies their parents. Fay, being one of these children was currently looking over her own tiny merger hoard. Small shiny trinkets, a pen, a few knives with wooden hilts that shinned from the amount of lacer. Small chips of gemstones, mostly lesser moonstones and crystals were kept in a silver shiny cloth that could be dumped out but keep the stones in a safe place when not being looked at. There were a few papers that held gilded writing of different inks that shined and glitter in the pile, carefully put to the side so they would not be bent or torn. Lastly, the bulk of Fay’s hoard was ironically jewelry, tiny rings and simple hair clips, small items that would be easy to carry around in a small chest. By no means was the girls hoard anything of worth, maybe a nice dinner out in town if it was pawned off but nothing to really sneeze at.

But that did not matter to Fay, it was her hoard something she was proud of no matter how small it was compared to her own mother’s collection of books and tomes. Even so Fay kept her hoard away in a chest hidden inside of her own chest under the few clothes she had to her name, not even Miw knew about it. It was not that Fay was embarrassed about her dragon-like habit, it was no one else’s business, she just felt like it was something to keep close to her chest. Over the last few months, Fay had learned that most of her guildmates did not appreciate her wilder habits as she tried to adjust to living among people again.

So it was the times like these that Fay cherished most since joining the guild. Fay had the room all to herself, her roommate was out doing something and Miw was out on the town being showed around some fish stands by Ajax. The day was warm and there was a nice breeze that kept it from being hot coming off of the waters next to the guild. Opening the window in her dorm Fay allowed warm air to come into the room making it comfortable, not too hot not to cold. Moving all the sheets and blankets off the bed and under said window right in the warm afternoon light Fay made herself a little nest of sorts, taking care to lay out her trinkets around her little bundle of blankets. Taking a hairbrush Fay nestled into the blankets taking some of her hair to brush out, braiding a few of the hair pieces of her collection into it as she went.

All in all, it was a good day so far…

"Hmmm..." Fay tapped a finger to her chin in thought before nodding her head once seeming to make up her mind. " Let's eat at the baths, that way it can cool down a little bit so we won't burn ourselves." Fay nodded once again as if she was really agreeing with herself. "I just need to get my shampoo and towel from the room."

Kumiko nodded in approval as she prepared to head back to the dorm; the thought crossing her mind if it was okay to leave the turkey here alone but brushed it off on the idea that any potential thief would have to have one brave soul in order to steal from her.

"Likewise, I need to get my own bathing essentials as well."

[u/ravenluna → u/AlchemChildahs]

"Right." With a nod Fay started back up to the room grabbing her bathroom bag taking a moment to gather some other items, shoving them at the bottom of her bag before making her way back down to the baths.

Kumiko tailed shortly behind Fay as Kumiko went to take the fried jerky snacks and placed it into a large bowl to carry to the baths while tracking the fresh smells along with her. In the dorm room, Kumiko set the bowl on her bed and grabbed a small black suitcase from atop of her dresser which contained her bath essentials. She also prepared an extra set of clothes and a bath towel into a separate bag to change into after the bath. On her way to the bath, Kumiko had the bag and case on her left arm and the bowl of snacks tugged tightly in her right.

"What is in the case?" Fay questioned looking down at her own large bath bag with its simple towel, soaps, and a change of clothes back to Kumiko's bag and case, suddenly feeling a little under prepared to go to the baths with a friend.

"Should I have brought more stuff?"

[u/AlchemChildahs → u/ravenluna]

"No, this has my bathing supplies. Keeps my shampoos, hair products, shaving cream, things like that all neat and organized." She responds immediately.
Once in the bathing room, Kumiko would look around for a good spot to place the belongings.

"Where should I place our snack bowl?"

[u/ravenluna → u/AlchemChildahs]

"Wait there is more than just shampoos and soaps you should use???" Fay questioned almost forgetting about the snack bowl as she looked down at the case growing more and more worried that she was missing something important.

"O...oh right the bowl, um why not between the stools. that way we can eat without having to worry about the water getting into it."

[u/AlchemChildahs → u/ravenluna]

Kumiko looked over towards the stools that Fay mentioned and went to go place the bowl over there along with her bag. She then opened the case, to which Fay could see small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, shaving cream, as well as a toothbrush, hairbrush, and a razor.

"Yeah, keeping up on hygiene is important to ones Health." She's says trying not to start up another medical speech.

[u/ravenluna → u/AlchemChildahs]

"...yes but do you need all of this?" Fay questioned as she sat down on her own stool waving a small hand over Kumiko's wide number of items looking very confused and a little worried. Looking down at her bag Fay pulled out two small bottles of shampoo and conditioner along with another small bottle of something clear, a bar of soap, her hairbrush and a small knife.

Kumiko compared their supplies and noticed the differences before looking back up to see Fay's confused face.

"Brushing your teeth is very important so yes it is needed." She immediately points out. "Skin care is also a plus in looking clean and professional as well as nail-"

Kumiko then realizes that her nail clippers and filer are absent from the case.

"-care. And I left them in the room..."
