Coral

(working title)

"Coral!" I looked up from the gray dishwater as I heard my name being called by my master from his study. I dried my chapped, dripping hands on the hem of my ragged dress as I ran towards the study.
"Yes Draken?" I asked cautiously as I peered into the study.
"Come in." I entered and closed the door quietly behind me. "I need you to go to the City Centre and pick up a few items for dinner as I am having guests this evening." I nodded as he handed me a list. "Take Shaymin with you." He said to me as I was turning to leave. I nodded again and exited the room.
I whistled once through my teeth and immediately Shaymin was at my side. I scratched the watch dragon between the ears. He fluttered his clipped wings happily and we set off.
(Where are we going this time?) Shaymin asked me telepathically.
(City Centre. He's got some guests tonight and we have to pick up some things.)
(Oh.)
Shaymin bobbed his head.
We headed outside, through the yard, and into the city. I looked at the first item on the list.
"Mangoes?! How does he expect us to get mangoes?! They only grown on earth and are hardly ever imported here."
(In that case, I suggest we look at the Space Port first to see if there are any new or delayed shipments.) Shaymin told me calmly. I nodded.
(Good idea.)
We turned and headed off towards the Space Port.
The Space Port is one of the busiest places in Terran.
