So they left the bag section and continued exploring the rest of the market, now with a new goal—finding something that Karl and Adrian would like.
As they passed another stall, Ruby slowed down, her eyes catching on a strange but interesting object.
It was a hand-carved wooden comb set with initials burned onto the back—a place to customize it. "Karl might like this," she said thoughtfully, picking it up.
Julian looked at it, then smiled. "Yeah… he keeps groaning about his hair lately. He'll probably say this comb makes his hair shinier."
"And yell at Milo for touching it," Ruby added with a laugh.
They kept walking, now more relaxed, their conversation filled with small jokes and ideas. For Adrian, they stopped at a stone-carving stall where polished black stones with calming energy were crafted into keychains and paperweights.
