Mulan moved at ease within the market, despite the busy time. her hanfu swayed effortlessly, as she avoided being bumped into as her eyes swept the stalls to see if she could find a gift for her friend that lived overseas. for the most part though, she could not find anything that she liked, especially since she had wanted the birthday present to be something special.
hunger plagued her a little as she smelt some delicious foods, but she had long since pushed such thoughts away for she knew that if she allowed any distractions, she would never find what she was looking for. and so she continued to inspect, stopping only once in a while to look at something before shaking her head and continuing on.
❝ hmm ? ❞ she paused once more at a stall, lifting a piece of fabric to inspect before making a face and placing it back down to continue her search. yet, the sound of her name caught her attention, as she turned quickly to see who had called upon her. her confused expression changed into a smile as she bowed her gave a little waive in greeting. ❝ Mei-Xing ! ❞ she called for her before stepping away from the stall.
upon stepping closer to the cultivator, she lifted her hands to give a quick greeting before lowering them once more to her side. ❝ what a lovely surprise, what are you doing here ? ❞
