A giant man with shoulders as wide as the valley comes walking down the aisle of vendors carrying a large crate. He has the same foreign features as Joseph and his viper but he has a kind look to him despite his size. He almost passes my cart when I calls out "You must be Georg, right?" The poor man is startled and fumbles to keep his grip on the crate. "Oh sorry to scare you. I didn't mean to. My name is Mary." I flash him a little smile and he blushes. "Put the crate down for a little while and talk with me for while." Georg walks closer to me, but doesn't put down the crate as he just stands there looking at me. He looks uncomfortable but he doesn't say anything. "Are you alright Georg?"
He clears his throat. "You are a very pretty lady," he admits before trying to hide his face behind his box. Such a sweet man. "Why thank you Georg. You are sweet. That Valeria really shouldn't have talked to you so rudely."
"She didn't mean it. She's tired because of the baby."
"Baby or no baby, that was uncalled for. I would never treat someone that way. Especially not someone as special as you." I blow the bulky giant a kiss and he blushes again, hiding his red face behind the crate. It's endearing.
"Mary! Mary my love, I've found you!" Georg and I turn around to see Peter running down the market to us carrying a large bundle in his arms. He takes my hand and kisses up it as he talks. "Beautiful Mary. I thought I lost you before finishing our conversation on my wagon. But I knew that when I saw you again, I would need to bring gifts to properly woo you. Here open this." I open the bundle and pull out an incredible velvet blue dress covered in intricate beading and of a quality fit for a lady. It is the most gorgeous piece of fabric I have ever seen. "Peter this is amazing! How ever did you manage to get this?"
"To hear that you love it makes the fifty pelts I traded for it worth it." I peck Peter on the cheek and giggle. His face gets red and he proudly puffs up his chest. But out of the corner of my eye, I can see gentle Georg's face slowly get darker as he gets jealous.
