Flora Bloom walked up to Rita. A sarcastic smile suddenly bloomed on her lips as she reached out and snatched the denim outfit from Rita's hands.
She casually held it, pinching the fabric and looking it over repeatedly.
"The material is good, and the workmanship is decent, too. What a shame!"
"What are you doing? That's stealing! It's mine!"
Flora Bloom shot Rita a mocking glance, then tipped her chin toward Caleb. Taking the hint, Caleb handed the bag of food meant for the trade to Sepherdine.
"Captain Sepherdine, my sister wants you to have this! The outfit is ours now!"
Sepherdine wouldn't dare take something from Flora Bloom. Staring at the bag in his hands, the whole situation felt wrong. "No, no, no. If Captain Bloom likes it, please, just take the outfit as a gift. It's not worth trading all this food for."
