There was an easy smile on Lydia's lips as a faint breeze tousled green locks. She leaned back, enjoying her 'ride' for the moment, taking in the sights of the market. Sitting atop Eddie's cart while he pushed it along was a much better and more preferred idea to sitting in Carley's magical little wheelbarrow as she and Heath pushed it along.

The whole group was in high spirits, just coming back from a friendly luncheon gathering at Mille's. Eddie provided drinks, Carley and Mille cooked, and Lydia was able to finally meet this Heath Carley had been gushing about lately. Not that the little blonde would be admitting such things... Lydia and Eddie had been chatting during the walk, to nowhere in particular, while poor Heath was designated as Carley's pack mule. She was perched upon his shoulders, occasionally digging heels into his sides to make him run faster. Oddly enough, he never seemed to mind.

Another sharp laughter from Carley quite a few feet ahead pulled Lydia from her thoughts, and brought a brighter smile to her as she watched Carley and Heath a moment. "We really should do this more often." Pale blues shifted aside to him. "It's nice when all of us can get together like this. We don't do it nearly enough."

Eddie narrowed his spectacled gaze on Heath before looking to Lydia, smile forming. "We sure don't doll. Mille did say we should- Hey!" Calling out to the couple ahead of them. "Yer gonna drop her if yer not careful Heath!" Eddie huffed faintly. Everyone seemed to really like Heath. Everyone but Eddie. He seemed.. suspicious almost. Overprotective of the little blonde terror, who, just sent Eddie a raspberry. He rolled his eyes in response then turned to face Lydia once more, expression a bit apologetic. "Saturday. She mentioned we should all show up again on Saturday for dinner."

Lydia suppressed a chuckle at the antics of the other three, then thought over Eddie's words. "Saturday.. I should be free then. Can't exactly go dancing with a bum knee." A brief pause, and a faint falter in expression, but it was soon gone. "Hopefully I'll be able to get Grem to come with me too. Mille mentioned me dragging him by again sometime soon." She grinned at the thought of another group gathering. Her and Grem, Carley and Heath, Eddie and Mille. Who needed dancing when she could spend a day with her favorite people?

The sound of many footsteps interrupted her from her thoughts, and pale blues drifted to all the children suddenly gathered around Eddie's cart.

"I want a drink!"

"Strawberry for me please!"

"Me first!"

Lydia grinned at the children before turning to Eddie. "Looks like you have customers so I'll let you tend to them. Thanks for carting me around." She snorted faintly to her own word choice, then carefully shifted and lowered herself to her feet, sidestepping the child mob.

Eddie smiled and nodded to Lydia before turning to the children. "Alright, everyone's going to get a drink. On the house even! Just form a line right there and take turns orderin'!" Like that worked. He sighed good naturedly as the children shoved and fought over the first position in line. This would be a while...

Meanwhile, the green haired elf meander/limped her way on over towards Heath and Carley. The latter without her usual beret, which was now on Heath's head. Lydia blinked at the sight. Heath gave her a dramatic look of utter suffering before grinning. "Looks much more snazzy on me than it does Little Bit here doesn't it?" He chuckled, wincing faintly as Carley's heels dug into his side. "Hey, cut that out."

"Don't call me Little Bit!" Carley scowled at him before snatching up her beret to set it back on her own head. "And it looks much better on me, so nyeh." Raspberry.

Lydia tilted her head to the side thoughtfully, then nodded. "I'm afraid she's right Heath. It does look a lot better on her than you." She held up her finger, a one moment gesture. "But? Eddie pulls off the beret look better than the both of you combined." She grinned cheekily at the duo.

Heath considered Lydia's words before sighing heavily. "I guess she's right sweet cheeks." Heath nodded to Carley. "He definitely pulls it off better than us." He glanced towards the drink vendor and children, frowning somewhat. "Oh man, those kids are going to get all the best flavors."

Carley looked that way as well, bright blues widening. "Then we better skip ahead and get what we want first!" A light kick was given to Heath, as if to say 'mush'. "Hurry up and get over there!"

"You're the boss Little Bit! ...ow! That really does hurt with your big ole' clunky feet! ..gah! I'm just kidding!"

Grinning, Lydia watched the duo move away towards Eddie and the gathered children. It was a little crowded over there, so she opted to not go back that way just yet. Leg was feeling a little stiff so she could stand to walk a little anyways. Steps were slow on the cobbles, gaze moving as she walked to take in the environment. This particular street wasn't too far from Mille's, just a small distance off the main market streets. The neighborhood was safe, beautiful... one of her favorite places to walk around, or through when she was going to the woods, cemetery, inn.

Kneeling down, she plucked a small pink wildflower growing out from a crack in the cobbles, then toyed with the stem, weaving and wrapping. The end result of her flower weaving? A small flower 'ring', slipped onto her pinkie. She moved further down the street, looking past her shoulder towards the group on occasion, making sure to keep them in seeing distance so she was in seeing distance for them as well. No need for anyone to be made to worry. Head turned when she heard a door open nearby, brows lifting to the one exiting. A man juggling with keys, signs, and briefcase.

A very familiar looking man.
