Day 42: Wicker Street
As soon as Anise hopped off the bus, she was handed a bundle of coupons, as was routine for these trips, though her nurse stopped her before she could run off and do her own thing. Telling the girl she would surely catch a cold in just a t-shirt, the woman handed Anise a pale purple jacket. It was pretty chilly, so Anise slipped it on without any complaints. Naturally, Tokunaga went over top of it, hanging from its usual spot on her back.
Once she was free to wander around, Anise headed over to Wicker Street. Though she had walked down it once before while searching for a post office, she never really took the time to see what shops were there.
Immediately, a shop window caught her eye - one displaying a row of elegant-looking porcelain dolls. They sort of reminded her of the kinds she used to see the daughters of rich tourists carrying with them... the kinds that were way too expensive for a girl like Anise to have.
Tokunaga was much better than any of them, of course.
Still, the girl couldn't help but gravitate over to the window to get a closer look. The styles of dresses they wore were different from what she usually saw on Auldrant, and the quality and detail were way beyond that of anything Anise considered affordable. It was a little depressing, in a way.
