Click click click click.

Oma heard a peculiar sound, faintly drowned by thunder in the distance. The sky would flicker. There's a woman, wearing expensive and frilly clothes, who was far too regal to be out near the slums.

She was dressed fully in black. A fur, plush cloak covering her shoulders, and draping down her back. Oma watched as her heels clicked to a stop under the same dim lamp light.

Her breathing was ragged, leaving puffs of clouds in the cold. She rubbed her hands together.

 "Far different than home, is it?" He glimmered; Oma stared up at the woman.

 She jumped sharply and looked down at him... Her expression softened, "Very different" she agreed as her gaze snapped back upward toward the street.

"Be careful wearing all of that stuff dolly. It's worth a pretty penny, people would kill for that."

The woman froze, and the puffs in the cold ceased for a moment. A long puff of air floated into the atmosphere before she spoke. "It's... The best I could do."

"That's the cheapest thing you own?" Oma asked seriously, before laughing. "No need to rub it all in" Oma leered. 

The woman clutched at her coat with unease. "You said people would kill for this, right?" The woman asked, changing the subject. Oma cocked a brow, it wasn't the response he was expecting.

 "In cold blood," he confirmed, overly chipper, which served to discomfort her further.

 The woman stared at her hand before sliding off a ring and handing it to Oma. "Do you know where the nearest pawn shop would be"

Oma shot up, and he smiled as friendly as he could muster.

"I do now" he hummed. The woman appeared relieved. "I can help with the bags if you need" She'd suggest. Oma shook his head. "I'll be fine. Follow me doll." He snipped and started walking, luckily the pawn shop lay close to his quarters.

(A/N: You've probably noticed some chapter changes recently, I'm trying to fix some of my grammar, remove things that are mostly unimportant to the story, and muddle the pacing, specifically in chapter one. I know it's messy! I said this was my first story for a reason!)
