[Sophie is in the Town Square again, though this time with a very large shopping bag set on the ground at her feet. while she is standing calmly enough, there are some subtle signs of the anxiety and exhaustion that she's been feeling lately. her hair isn't quite as neat as usual, and her dress looks a tad wrinkled. in fact, it's a new dress--forest green, edged in lace, but a very simple design overall. the skirt of it is very loose, clearly designed with plenty of leeway, for a reason that those looking closely at her might notice. at this point in her pregnancy, Sophie has started to show a small baby bump]

Hello again, everyone. [she clasps her hands in front of her as she talks, that calm expression becoming a bit more nervous. she glances around, as though concerned about being overheard, before she continues] Many of you asked me for charms before, and I've finished them all. If you'd like to meet me in the Town Square, I have them here.

This would also be a good opportunity to discuss other recent...events, as well. In person is best, I think. [she smiles somewhat grimly]

I look forward to talking to all of you. [reaching out to the CAT, she ends the transmission]

[ooc: Feel free to use this post as a mingling post! You can interact with Sophie, or you can interact with each other in the Town Square so that information can freely be shared. Also, feel free to notice the baby bump or not as you prefer~]

[Sophie cringes at the bonnet suggestion, relieved that it's not Jamie's only idea. she seizes quickly on the other suggestions] Yes, I could make stockings. Or a belt, if you'd prefer. [thoughtfully] Stockings would be simpler, though--and easy to sew the charm into. Would you like them to look like the ones you have?

[bonnypiperlad]

[The stockings are quite utilitarian, actually, having been knit out of a beigeish-coloured yarn and lacking any noticeable decoration.]

Aye, well, as long as they'll stand up to a wee bit of dirt I suppose it doesn't matter much if they look different. Mind ye, I'd prefer they not be too fancy.

[Or pink, but he thinks that goes without saying.]

Do ye need me to give ye one for a pattern?

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie definitely catches his meaning. really, it's refreshing to be making something for someone who doesn't want it to be overly fancy] If you want them to look the same, yes. Otherwise, I'd just have to guess at the sort of yarn--and the pattern. But they aren't your only pair, are they?

[bonnypiperlad]

No. There's the ones from the shop, but they're not quite the same.

[fortune_sought]

Well, that would give you some to wear in the meantime. I suppose it depends on how similar you want these to be.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, well. I'd not mind having another pair like these, so...

[Abruptly, Jamie sits down on the edge of the fountain and starts to remove his boot. Shortly after, he thrusts out a sock at Sophie. Luckily, he's just washed them, so it's relatively clean.]

I suppose the others will do until ye can get this back to me.

[fortune_sought]

[she takes the sock gingerly, sniffing discreetly just to be sure it's clean as she does so. she nods] I'll have that charm for you soon, then. And please do remember to keep the other with you. [because she's sure Jamie's exploring isn't done yet--not to mention there's no telling what might be coming in this town]

[bonnypiperlad]

I already do. [He reaches into his shirt and pulls out a bit of the kerchief Sophie charmed for him so she can see, then tucks it away and starts to put his boot back on. It won't hurt him to go a little while without one stocking.]

I should get back, but you're sure you'll be all right until the others get here?

[fortune_sought]

[well, that's a relief, at least. but at that question, she's sighing inwardly. really, Jamie, you worry too much] I'm perfectly fine, yes. Thank you, Jamie.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Somebody has to.] Good. I'll be in touch with ye if I find out more information.

[fortune_sought]

And I will do the same.
