[Gift] Shiny...Fluffy new toy.

Hela strolled along with a few other buns through Burrowgatory, something she often did. She didn't ever really have a set destination, just enjoyed looking around and having some relaxing time while she wasn't fighting or 'working'. Which in reality was just preparing for more fights. She and her group eventually made their way to the center of Burrowgatory where a huge fair of some sort was going on, nothing she'd heard of which wasn't too surprising since she didn't pay much attention to current events. She slips away from the others, seeing as they all were focusing on their own toys and stuffies around. 

She looks at each booth, several buns selling their own items, and it seemed any toy was allowed in here, toy figurines, cars, plushed imps, and even sex toys. She skimmed over each and everything, seemingly disinterested in plenty of the toys before she ran into a familiar face, Chloe. Hela greets her with a small kiss once her surprise is finished.

"I didn't know you'd be here, I would've invited you if I knew you liked any toy other than punching bags." Chloe teases, placing a hand on Hela's shoulder.

"Eh, I didn't plan on being here honestly, was jus' walkin' by." Hela hums out lazily, the mornings resembling her true vice much more and easily. She takes Chloes hand from her own shoulder to hold it, lacing their fingers as she followed Chloe along wherever she walked.

 "What drew you in here then?" Chloe giggles softly as she looks around at the toys she was looking at previously, a few... favorable ones to use later on some of her other buns. Well... 'her' buns. 

"Dunno honestly, more curious as to why some buns were lining up and gathered 'round here." Hela turns to Chloe for a moment before looking back at the tables of dildos, eyeing the table Chloe was looking at. A small spark in her eye, "Having some ideas?" She teases, squeezing their hands together tighter before softening again.

"Always." Chloe hums, a small smile on her face as she picks some out, looking at the price, "Think I could have some fun with this?" She wiggles it around in jest for a moment, Hela laughing at the action."I think you could have fun with anything, creative little-" She's cut off as Chloe drags her to another stand filled with the most adorable, fluffy, soft plush toys. Loafki's, Furdins, and even some fantastical creatures that didn't exist.

"Hela! Look at these! Oh my god they're perfect, I need them!" Chloe picked one up, squishing it with her hands and showing it off to Hela, the last person you'd think to ever fawn over such a bright pale pink plush. Yet here she was, her mind racing with yes, what a perfect little plush what a great soft pink... but she refused to say it outloud. She didn't want any future opponents to hear and potentially think she was soft. She couldn't be soft. At least that's what she believed.

"Mmh. Could be better." Hela shrugged which was met with a sharp but soft slap to her arm. "No! It's perfect!" Chloe argued, shaking the plush in front of Hela as if that's what would cure her from this cute blindness.

"Wh-! No! Look at it, it's such a soft pink, so fluffy, I think you should get it as a reminder to be nice!" Chloe teases some, mainly about being nice, Hela was a dear to her... she just wanted to see Hela with the pink plush.

"Uhg. Fine." Hela gives in, almost immediately, but not a single ounce of suspiscion was growing in Chloe's mind, too focused on the fact that Hela had said yes to it. Quickly handing it to her and forking the carats over to the vendor, who happily took them. 

"Perfect! I want to see it right in the middle of your bed when I come over next time." Chloe laughs quietly, her teasing clearly getting to Hela, well, that's what she thought. In reality, Hela was excited for it, happy to have another of her guilty pleasure plushes that she could stash in her little collection. Maybe she'd grab an extra or two... she could tell Jude she needed an extra week on her payment to him... or just do another fight or two. It made enough sense in her mind. Hela reluctantly tucks the plush into her arm, taking Chloes hand into hers and walking from the booth now.

"Yeah yeah, it'll be there." Hela huffs, "But that means I get to have my fun with you when you see it." Hela smirks slightly but has little to no threat behind it since both women wouold enjoy whatever fun anyways. More like a threatening her with a good time.

"Oh no, whatever will I do... I'm going to suffer." Chloe teases, squeezing their hands together lightly for a moment. Hela laughs, the two walking along towards the other booths and exploring as they did, enjoying their small moment together. After a bit, Chloe announced her leave, placing a gentle kiss on her lips before she walks off to wherever she was needed. Normally Hela payed attention but as soon as Chloe said she had to go... only one thing has been on her mind since, getting another soft plush. Most of the vendors were beginning to pack so she needed to act quick, she couldn't wait for another day cause she might run into someone again. It had to be now.

With that in mind, she rushes back to the table of the vendor her original plush was at, though they'd already packed up, preparing to leave as she got there. "Wait! Please, can I get another plush?" Hela slams her hands down on the table, startling the merchant.

"Ah... I'm really sorry ma'am but I need these for my other selling days. Tomorrow is supposed to be the busiest!" The seller apologizes, slinging their bag of plushes over their shoulder. Since tomorrow was a weekend, it would very much be busy, it made sense why they wanted extras for just in case... but Hela wanted the plush very badly... she almost pleaded with them before just nodding solemnly. "Right yeah, makes sense. Good luck then." She looks around again.

Hela leaves them with a huff, practically marching around to different booths, startling each merchant, most were packed up, some just didn't have the plush she wanted and others were already gone, either seeing her approach them and deciding to leave seeing how she'd startled the others or having already left.

Finally, after what felt like forever there was a merchant with more soft pink plushes, one of a Remil which, though she wouldn't be the happiest with this comparison, reminded Hela of Chloe.

She quickly rushes to them, they look at her kind of expecting her from the commotion she'd been causing.

"Can I please have that remil plush. The soft pink one?" She practically begged, just wanting a damn plush at this point, any one.

"Oh? Of course!" The merchant practically sensed her desperation and maybe it was the greed horns, or maybe they were always priced like that, but hearing the price shocked her to her core.

"120 carats please!" They smile brightly, unaffected by whatever look Hela just shot at them.

"120!?" She shouts, "There must be some sort of deal or something yeah? I mean, 120 carats, I might as well just buy my own *actual* remil at that point." She tries to reason, to no avail though. They shook their head with a calm look.

"You could, but do you have the time or the carats to even take care of one? If you can't afford 120 carats.. I mean..." They shrug, a smug look coming onto their face.

Hela's resolve was starting to crumble, she wanted the plush.. but that was a lot of money to make up and even give Jude, she'd have to pull some from the other people she owed, might get her into a bit of trouble but she could handle it.

"Fine. 120." She scrambles for her little pouch filled with such a pitiful amount of carats, pulling some out of her pockets and wherever she could. "Can I pay half and half? Half card?" She pleaded, looking at the greed bun with big ol' eyes.

"Yeah of course! I take all forms of payment." They smile, holding out a little card reader.

She sighs, placing a card on top of it, waiting for the little beep to signify that it was successful before smiling as she pulls it away. It was a problem for another day, she'd figure it out later and she'd have time to tell her loaners before she had a real issue on her hands. She tucks her card away, sliding the rest of the physical ones over on their table, and with that her purchase was secured. One soft little remil now in her hands as she holds it gently.

"Thank you so much, I really appreciate this!" Hela hums softly, stepping away from the table, extremely happy and proud of her purchase, while she did love that Chloe bought her one earlier, she almost felt bad that she didn't know she was indulging her. She couldn't pay her back though then it'd be too obvious. Maybe she'd claim she sold it or gave it away. But that'd make Chloe upset.

Hela ruminated on the situation as she headed back to her little apartment, making her way to a closet. She could always claim that she felt bad Chloe paid for something that Hela didn't like and therefore wanted to pay her back. That could work though Hela was sure Chloe would deny it. She could try, no harm in it.

With that solved in her mind, she opens the closet up, a ton of soft plushies falling to the floor as she does, all different shapes and sizes, some there just so she could claim she was still tough, as if this changed anything about how tough she was, in her mind it did though. She carefully picked them back up, setting them down carefully on the shelves that were in her closet, hardly any clothes were placed inside, both becfause she didn't own many and because she just wanted more room for the different items she collected in there. They all needed to be in there, both because she didn't want anyone to see, and who would look in her closet, and also because she wanted them together.

They got lonely, damnit. She was adamant about it, they needed friends just like any other bun, even if they weren't alive they felt softer after they'd been near each other for a while. She'd know since she occasionally cuddled them, and she could swear they felt softer each and every time. She was content with her placement of the fallen plushes, softly setting the little remil next to her collection of the other imps, the corvats, bearly, matching her own which was softly curled on her bed, cuddling a brown bearly plush. Seems it'd stolen from her stash... not that she minded too much with the adorable sight. Maybe she would go see the event again, she could always wait til everyone was gone again and find the left over folk who still sold to her. It seemed worth it enough, and she could claim she was looking for other toys to use. Like a dildo or something to use on Chloe.

Made enough sense to her.
