The man looks at her for a moment, as Volantene is a bit different than High Valyrian, but he understands. "Off left street is Walk of silks. Finest clothing in world." Clearly, something is being lost in the translation.

Arania nodded, and thanked him thoroughly. "I should perhaps practice Volantene," she said to Amelia, "but he says its over there, not too far."

"How wonderful!" Ami said, grinning. "Maybe I too should begin practicing the language here. It would perhaps come in use!" She lead the way over to where Arania had indicated, her purse at the ready.

She's going to need it, if the massive market they see is any indication. Guards are actually required to enter, as proof that you have the funds to even look at the merchandise. Silks, lizard lion skin boots and corsets, leather made from Qartheen cows of reddish skin, Basilisk Isle jewelry, one-breasted dresses from Qarth, and even strange dresses from the Jade sea colored emerald and sapphire are seen. Even Arania, growing up in a tower so large it dwarfs small mountains, feels poor here.

"There is... so much here..." Amelia said, looking at all the things for sale. "I don't even know where to start!!"

Arania had no words, just released the breath she suddenly realized she had been holding. She looked from one thing to the next, clearly overwhelmed, and she had grown up seeing imports from around the world in the markets of Oldtown. "Well," she finally managed to say, "this is certainly more than I had expected!"

Amelia nodded her head. "How about... we both put outfits together for each other! For the feast tonight?" She grinned. "I find things for you and you for me!"

She regarded Amelia carefully. "What if we commit some terrible faux pas, wearing clothing too garish or too revealing for their polite company?" She laughed. "Well, I'm sure we wouldn't have to worry about garish. The wealthy in this city look like peacocks!"

"Exactly!" Ami exclaimed. "Any colour any size any fit! Like we will actually stand out among all the others." She laughed. "That includes jewellery and make up too!"

Arania sighed. "Very well then. I'm trusting you not to make me look too ridiculous! That is, if you trust me..." She winked.

"Of course not, deary," Amelia said, before heading off with half of the guards.
She first picked out a red leather corset that would help out with Arania's small bust, as well a gold and silver checkered dress of velvet, which had a wide slit down the front and clung to the body.
For her feet she found some lizard lion skin shoes that had delicate and dangerous heels, two small red bows decorating them.
She finally found a strange ruby necklace shaped like a dragon, some silver hoop earrings and powder to darken the skin.
With these things bought she waited for Arania to find her.

Arania walked among the stalls, feeling the finest fabrics, stroking the richest furs. Eventually she came upon something that she felt would suit Amelia perfectly; a pale mint green gown that covered from neck to wrist to ankle...all made of the sheerest silk Arania had ever seen, and embroidered with golden leaves, thick in the most strategic places. She found golden slippers with pointed toes and bells, a collar made of jade and lapis, and an an elaborate contraption for Amelia's hair, like a wire cage studded with pearls. With her purchases clutched in her arms, she made her way back to where they had agreed to meet, finding Amelia there waiting for her.

"Ohh, there you are!" Amelia said when she spotted Arania. "And what have you there? That looks very interesting!" She giggled again. "Now, shall we try on our outfits or find something else to do in the city? There seem to be so many places to visit..."

She looked over the things Amelia had brought somewhat nervously. "Now is not the time for these things," she said with a small smile. "Let's see what there is to see in the city!"

"Good idea!" She said, linking arms with Arania, while Danya rolled her eyes at the two girly girls, walking behind them. "I heard that they have great pools here where people can bathe."
