This is part 2 of "The Invitation."
Tallak smiles, holding onto Aka as they go through the darkness and land on the plaza. The streets are bustling, a mix of locals selling hand made goods, a fruit market, and some tourists, looking to get a flavor of Mexican culture.

"Fruit!" she exclaims and rushes over.

I imagine that she was still holding onto Tall, as they had just stepped out, so he gets dragged along with her as they end up in the fruit stand.
The vendor sees the woman's excited face, and begins to hold up some fruit to her.
tall looks down at some of the fruits and asks, "¿Cuánto cuesta? "

Aka looks expectantly and excitedly at Tall.

Tall continues to speak to the man in Spanish and he nods, bending down to pull out a bag. Tall, in the meantime, pulls out his wallet, producing pezos. The man stuffs a large bag with various tropical fruits (a couple that the regular American supermaket wouldn't have, like guevos), and of course, pomegrates."
They exchange a smile along with goods, "Gracias senior!"
"Y buenos dias!" Tall finishes off.
The shopkeeper then looks over at Aka, then looks back at Tall with a grin, "Usted tiene a una novia bonita. la cuida de, " he grins. Tall bites his lip a little, giving a little stiff grin and a nod as he leads Aka away.

"Pomegranates," she says, grbabing one. "Thank you Tall!" she says before digging in.

Tall smiles, glad to see her happy. "You're very welcome, Aka."

Tall reaches into the bag, pulling out a fruit that looks lime-like. But he bites into it, 'peel' and all (though it isn't a real peel).

He was lost in a 3 second thought, (distracted a little by what the shop keep said) but he looks down at her, "Oh--hm? We could just look around or something..."
he pauses, and then laughs, "You won't believe what the stand keeper told me."

He grins, "He told me I have a very cute girlfriend and that I should take good care of her," he laughs a little.

She laughs too. "Even strangers think we're dating..." she mutters.

He shakes his head a little, "well, we are practically linked in arms," he points out that she never let go of him from the trip through the darkness. "And it's just what people assume when they see two people together, I suppose..."
