The markets have their own allure, it's true, but finding somewhere neither of them have been in the shopping district also would work nicely for convincing Hilda to spend longer with him. A desire that's all too real even if it's something he's only admitting to himself and instead abstracting it within plans like he's somehow her suitor. If only.

His boot gets tugged on the rest of the way quickly before he goes to lean in the doorway to her room. ]
