[She takes it from him as he gets the money, quick to hold it up to herself already and admire it in a nearby reflective surface. And the shopkeeper is left to ecstatically pick up the money and compliment its look, thanking them for their time and purchase and eagerly inviting them to come again.
Smiling at the nod of her brother, Seles moves to step out, arms reaching already to put on the necklace. Why shouldn't she wear it? And to display such an expensive thing openly is good, surely! This was about the fifth shop today, and that's not mentioning the citizens they passed who stopped them for curious questions or offers.
So it probably shouldn't be too surprising for Seles to step out just a few paces and nearly run into a couple of men while putting on her necklace. ...But it is, and she jolts a little in surprise and steps back. They look friendly, about like any other person they'd passed today-- and from the looks of it, they had been intending to enter the shop a bit behind them, themselves.
But rather than a simple excuse me and a passing, one of them reaches to take the necklace in hand as if admiring it, smiling friendly all the while. "Well, doesn't that suit a fine lady well! Is there a special occasion?"
How is she supposed to react to this sort of thing, anyway? It might hit her as odd, yes, but she's more naive than paranoid, and so thoughts of a couple of overly nice men being the con-men hasn't really entered her mind just yet. She just blinks, glancing down a bit at it in his hand as she clutches her handbag.]
Um-- No. There's no occasion at all. I thought it went well with a dress I have back at home. [Yeah she's still pretty good at this.]
