"Alice says not to worry about it, she would prefer to talk to you in her own way. She feels bad that I would have to work to translate. But miss. Alice I do not mind at all. But I will respect what you want.

" Onyx went silent at this, it seemed like he had gotten a small talking to from Alice in their minds. It was only fair that Alice had always wanted to speak with her own voice and did not want anyone else speaking for here.

This made Walker a bit sad knowing that she would not be letting Onyx talk for her so that they could have longer conversations but he understood.

"I won't push you, but if you ever want to say something I won't be upset if you ask Onyx to help.

"

Alice just shook her head with a smile,

"But since you won't let Onyx say anything I guess I can't tell that you don't want to go look at that bracelet.

" Walker hooked her arm and started to pull her to the corner of the room. She had no way to protest and let herself be dragged off leaving the rest of the party eating and looking around themselves. Midnight was a bit annoyed that her friend was being pulled off but chose to get Remey to give her more food. This was not as easy though since Remey had built up an immunity to the pleading look Midnight used. Her siblings had used it so often that she developed the immunity almost instantly.

The bracelet that Alice had been looking at was a simple one, it was inlaid with ten different colored gems. The metal that these gems were set in to shined with the reflection of the light within the room. It had been made from silver and polished so well that the two could see their reflections within it.

"The paper here says its called the rainbow bracelet. It was crafted by a jewel smith that wandered throughout the kingdom and sold it to the auction house. I wonder what else it does, it's not written in the paper.

" Walker decided this was the perfect chance to use his all around appraisal skill.

The gems used to create this bracelet were taken from a high altitude mountain peak. They sat in the first rays of sunrise for many years allowing them to gain the ability to absorb light in many different frequencies. The silver metal used to craft this naturally repels poisons.'

"Oh, this would be perfect for you, it absorbs different kinds of light elements so it can store some mana. It also says it resists poisons, if you are healing anyone who has been poisoned maybe it will help. I will bid on it.

" Alice tried to shake her head more but Walker was conveniently looking away. Alice reached out to grab and turn his head toward her so he could see her shaking her head.

Walker closed his eyes refusing to see it making Alice just hold his face defeated.

" Ehm, I do have to remind you, you're at an event.

" The high priest was standing there a mischievous smirk on his face, he had seen the whole thing unfold but still wanted to raise the two a little. It was his job as a father after all.

"I do agree with Walker though, since you always run out of mana when you sing I would feel much more at ease knowing you have a little put away for safety. It also matches the colors you make with your skills. If he does not win it I will be winning it for you.

" Alice wanted to argue back with him but knew that once the decision was made she was outnumbered.

"Sounds like a plan to me!

" Walker gave a big thumbs up with the high priest pretending that his face was not very very red from how Alice had grabbed his face just a moment ago.

"It looks like chairs are being brought out in front of the stage and the armors and other things are being put away, should we find out seats?

"

Looking about the high priest saw the attendants starting to make the change in the hall.

"Yes it looks to be about time, let us collect you other members and ask an attendant to show us up the stairs.

"

While Walker beckoned for the others to join them the high priest flagged down an attendant who was more than happy to leave the chairs to another and show them the way. They had definitely given the attendant an easier job then to lug around chairs.

"You will have one of our five balcony seats tonight. The auctioneer on the stage will have an eye on you at all times for a bid so do not worry about missing anyone. We heard that the high priest would also be bidding and placed an extra chair to the front so that it can be easier for you. Your number will be seven and his shall be eight. Today there are only thirty bidders.

"

The group was shown up a set of marble stairs and through a smaller hallway. The door that was opened for them was a very beautiful gold and brown color most likely hand crafted. The balcony seating they now laid eyes on was showing quite the scene. There were two larger chairs right next to the railing of the balcony that faced the stage directly, they would have a very good view of any items on display, much better than if they were on the main floor. The other chairs were set behind the two others close enough to see and relay a message to the one that was bidding.

Small tables were against the walls with some refreshments and more appetizers, this seemed to be a benefit of the upgraded seating. There were also a set of curtains that could be closed at their own discretion if they wanted more privacy. In addition there was also a pamphlet of item names and the order they would be auctioned, this was yet another bonus for them in the upgraded seating. Walker skimmed the pamphlet finding it was only the items that were already displayed on the floor. This was not very helpful since he wanted to bid on materials or new additions to the auction that night. However he saw that the rainbow silver bracelet was being sold at a starting price of three hundred gold. It was a little high of a price but Walker was not afraid of this. He would pay much more to buy a gift for Alice, especially one that could be so useful to her.

Walker and the high priest took the seats near the railing and surveyed the first floor, it was already full of chairs and free from auction items now. The switch over was extremely efficient even with their group asking one of the attendants away to lead them to their seating.

"This is your first time in the balcony seating right? What do you think? Everything you thought it would be?

"

"This is really the best seating here. I can see the stage much better, plus if the auctioneer is looking at us more closely I know my bid will get seen. They really outdo themselves setting this room up too, there are so many extra details.

" Walker did not hold back his praise when he spoke on how impressed he was.

"Most people like the pamphlets they put out. It really helps them strategize, not that I will be bidding on any of the things on display, the good stuff comes after them.

" The high priest was going to leave the bracelet to Walker in the worst case he would step in.

"Hello and Welcome top this month's VIP auction. I congratulate those of you who have procured tickets and welcome those who are new. We will begin with the previously viewed items from the floor and then move in to some other products. Tonight our first item will be…

" Walker saw that the armor being brought out was nothing that they were after and decided to make small talk while they waited for the bracelet to make its way on stage. No one in the party had let him know they wanted anything either so he assumed that they were waiting for the better items that they could use for forging.

Some items later the auctioneer finally brought the bracelet on stage,

"Here we have a very beautifully crafted rainbow silver bracelet. This can store mana and also increase the magical attack of the wearer. It would make an exceptional and practical gift for any young woman. The starting bid will open at three hundred gold!

" The auctioneer on stage showed off the bracelet on a small pedestal. The lights focusing on it were reflecting off of it making it seem even more brilliant.
