[ Ella is a busy woman this week. The NV turns on this time to the interior of a store - one that sells a myriad amount of knick knacks, from decorative glasses to vases of all kinds, clocks, candles, etc. Ella is standing in front of a shelf with a crate of roughly 2 dozen apples balanced carefully against her hip, her arm grasping the handle of

Neither.

[of_frell]

Neither?

[ She considers the two vases, pointing at the garish one. ]

Not even the one with gobs and gobs of what are probably fake gems?

[debtfinanced]

Especially not that one.

[ pause. ]

Did you have a particular reason for you inquiry?

I'm looking into inexpensive shiny things. Or ... rather something that looks fancy but doesn't cost a lot, so I don't go broke.

I may be looking in the wrong place - some of the more expensive vases here look more like art pieces than flower vases. Ugly art pieces at that.

[ She pauses, apparently getting a dirty look from someone, because she holds up her hand. ]

I mean ugly to someone without a refined sense of taste, of course.

[ Eheh. ]

[Get ready to damn his perceptiveness. He wasn't going to make this private at first, but then decides it's a good idea.] If the vase was really yours, why would you care which one looks more expensive?

[ He brings up a good question. She'd hoped he'd honestly forgotten about that little detail. ]

[ Quick, think of a lie. Say something - anything. Though it's actually kind of pointless since he sees through your lies really easily. ]

First one, huh?

[ She picks up the vase, tilting it curiously. Personally she liked this one the best - it had a simple quality to it, but still had that shine at the bottom. ]

It's pretty, isn't it? It's the stars on the bottom that give it the look of expense, right?

You've got good taste. I don't think everyone would agree with you though. This vase here is at least twenty dollars cheaper than that other one.

I suppose for here at least, it boils down to how many extras go into making the vase. But these more expensive ones look like they belong in a museum.

Personally I like simple and pretty. Something like... oh... [ She pauses, moving to the other side of the room and lifting down a vase that appeared to be pure crystal. ]

Something like this I'd be afraid to breathe around it. Not even my father would let me anywhere near something this delicate. [ Speaking of - she carefully puts it back before she drops it. ]

[He doesn't sigh, but the overtone is there.]

The one on the left will suit her tastes far more.

[ The ugly one Ella hated. That figured. But she smiles. ]

Her who? These are for me.

[Oh... no. That's the patented (ask Hitsugaya) Kuchiki look of 'how stupid do you think I am?' and 'I not only know more than you, I've been there, done that, burned the t-shirt and then bought the place'.]

Ella-san, you are not a woman who cannot decide which vase to buy.

[So don't treat him like he's idiot.]

[ Ella quirks an eyebrow slightly. ]

You'd be surprised. I'm also not a woman who will walk into a store and grab the first thing she sees, buy it and go.

[ She waffles over lots of things! ]

Neither looks expensive. The one on the right is in better taste. The one on the left will have cost more to make.

[of_frell]

I'll agree there, it definitely is in better taste.

[ She'll find something else for Hattie. Not the other vase. ]

I don't think those are real gemstones though.

[frosty_mind]

I certainly hope not. The resolution isn't good, but I believe they're colored glass in gemstone cuts.

You can tell that even with the poor resowhatsit from the NV?
