A little after Shiro finished his breakfast, Suijin had finished hers. "It was pretty good." she said, relaxing a bit. "Ah, we still need to find you a staff, right?" she asked after a moment. She then got up and paid for their breakfast and motioned for Shiro to follow. They had a long day ahead of them.

"Yes, I beleive so. A nice cool looking one." He said with a light chuckle as he stood up to follow Suijin. It was a good thing that they got up early, Shiro wanted to spend the whole day with Suijin and get as much done as possible. "There's bound to be lots of shops in the area right? A big city like this is bound to have what we need." Looking around the lobby for John Shiro sighed when his friend was nowhere in sight. "Oh well. We can thank him later I guess. I'm sure he's busy too."

'Crap!' Nezrain thought to herself, pivoting around and running after the taller girl. She had completely forgotten about Aki's genetic advantage, and in all honesty was struggling to keep catch up with her. Nearly half-way to the beach, she had been trailing the other girl with a gap the size of two T-Rexaurs, before finally beginning to close in on her. Unfortunately, she had to jump back abruptly, pausing to cut down a blue-ish variation on a floating sting-ray, before resuming her chase, hoping Aki would lose some steam soon, as there was still a distance of one T-Rexaur between them.

The couple headed out of the hotel and into the streets of Deling City. Cars and people were already crowding the streets and sidewalks. As they searched, Suijin couldn't help but do a little window shopping, seeing some cute clothes or other neat things. Eventually they were able to find a weapons shop where they were greeted by the clerk.

Even in the day time this city was busy, which really wasn't that surprising. Shiro was to lost in his own thoughts to window shop or even notice that they had found a weapons store. But once they were in Shiro was able to snap back to reality, scanning the store and taken aback by all the cool weapons. "Good morning. Do you have any sta- knuckles!" Mid sentence, Shiro spotted a display of various knuckle type weapons. There were brass ones and stainless steel ones, spiked ones and knuckles with cool runic looking designs etched into them. The more impressive and expensive ones seemed to be made not of metal but of other more uncommon ores and and minerals and were more like gauntlets rather than knuckles. Almost forgetting why he was here or even that he was with Suijin, Shiro was lost now, practically drooling over the collection.

Kaede 'Crap!' Nezrain thought to herself, pivoting around and running after the taller girl. She had completely forgotten about Aki's genetic advantage, and in all honesty was struggling to keep catch up with her. Nearly half-way to the beach, she had been trailing the other girl with a gap the size of two T-Rexaurs, before finally beginning to close in on her. Unfortunately, she had to jump back abruptly, pausing to cut down a blue-ish variation on a floating sting-ray, before resuming her chase, hoping Aki would lose some steam soon, as there was still a distance of one T-Rexaur between them. Aki runs along with a grin. She loved to run, and she hadn't really gotten the chance to do it for fun in a while. She glances back and sees quite a distance between her and Nezrain and her grin widens. She may just win! However as she gets closer to the beach, Aki begins to feel the burn in her legs indicating her stamina was running out. She pushes herself to keep going, but her speed drastically slows and the red-head begins to pant with the effort of continuing to run.

Seeing the goal within reach, Nezrain pushed up her speed for the last four hundred meters, saving her energy for an all out push in the last hundred meters. The sight of Aki slowing, only forced her optimism to swell marginally, despite her efforts to suppress it. She waited til she had something of a lead on Aki, before glancing back, stick her tongue out in a taunt, then promptly turning and breaking into a sprint, the sand close at hand. However, somewhat spent from the effort, and in a playfully gloating moment, she floundered for a moment, loosing footing as she stumbled along in the sand, the momentum of her healthy lead carrying her weight before her feet in the loose, dry granules. Turning the loss of balance into a dive roll, mostly to avoid a mouthful of sand, she found herself amidst the tide, rising from a wave, and half-drenched. Looking back to Aki, she shook her hair out before running back and attempting to give her a soggy hug.

Aki tries her hardest to catch up to Nezrain as she passes, but her stamina was rapidly fading. When she trips and rolls into the waves, Aki bursts out laughing and falls to her knees, unable to run anymore. She clutches her stomach, winded from both the run and her laughing fit. As Nezrain comes back toward her Aki gets back to her feet, still slightly winded and breathing hard. She hugs her friend with a giggle, then says, "I guess you won then!"

Suijin had gone straight towards the section with the staffs just as they entered the shop. "Which ones do you li- hey!" she started but then realized that Shiro wasn't next to her. She turned around to find him ogling the knuckle weapons. Walking to his side, she had to wonder why they turned Shiro into a kid in a candy shop. "Um...Shiro.." Suijin muttered.

"Look, Cat Claws!" Shiro said with a big grin as he pointed to a set of gloves with three blades coming out of them. Clawed knuckles weren't somethign he was use to using, but maybe he should invest in something with a little more oomph than his standard knuckles. But then again blades weren't really his style, he was a puncher not a scratcher or a stabber. Oh well, what did Suijin think? But as he was about to ask her, the look on her face made him change his mind. "Oops. We're not here for knuckles, are we?"

"Yeah, well a little shorter and you would have destroyed me," she panted with a grin, still having difficulty believing the taller girl had fallen behind. A small, mischievous glint in her eyes, Nezrain suddenly grabbed Aki's arm and tried to drag her towards the ocean. "Come on, lets hit the waves!"

Aki laughs and replies, "Probably. I'm a mean sprinter!"
When Nezrain begins to pull her toward the waves, Aki laughs again.
"Alrighty, but I should warn you... I'm not a very good swimmer," she says, bending momentarily to pull off her boots and knee socks.
She drops her sword and glasses with her boots and socks, piling everything on the sand.

Shiro's sudden realization made Suijin laugh. "No we aren't. Unless you want to buy a pair of those, too?" She took a glance at the knuckles. Maybe if he liked them so much, she could buy them for him. "Which ones do you like?"

"I don't know. All of them?" He said with a laugh, looking at the case again. They were all so cool in their own way, to choose would be insulting to the others. Still, the Cat Claws were really intimidating. "Maybe some other time, we're here for a staff after all. I'm not a greedy man, one weapon is enough for a trip. Ah, but we should get you something too while we're here, yeah? Get you a new staff too, or maybe a second weapon. Diversity on the battle field is never a bad thing." His attention on Suijin once more he gave her a light kiss and smiled as he winked at her. "Maybe I can teach you a little boxing or something."

"I guess it would be a good idea but I'm not really interested in starting up another weapon." Suijin shrugged but smiled, "I'll stick with the staff... speaking of which.." she said, jumping to the staff section. "What kind do you want?"
