Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm not worried about that when it comes to you." Nic said simply with a small smile on his face. Some might call him a fool for behaving this way but he felt he knew Reina as well as he knew himself, especially as they have reconnected away from home. There's less pressure when it was away from all the politics and requirements of nobility.

"Lets do that then. Better safe than sorry. Who knows what we might find out in the desert anyway. Some poor Juaharan thinking they could make a trek on their own while completely overestimating their own ability and underestimating the dangers of the Oban desert." It wouldn't be the first time he had heard reports of someone striking off alone thinking they had the skills and falling up so incredibly short. "Go ahead and grab whatever you think might be useful, we'll worry about the cost later."

Nicias smiled, more to himself than anything with her reaction to his comment. He gently bumped her shoulder with his own before looking down the other side of the aisle they were walking down. It was when she suggested the scarf that he knew he was in trouble. "I probably trust your fashion sense more than my own. We'll get it, especially if you've taken a liking to it." He grabbed it from where it was draped over his shoulder and gently folded it up before placing it in the basket that Reina was gathering supplies in. "I'm not necessarily hoping for a rescue mission, but I'd rather be prepared just in case. I've heard so many stories at home of foreigners getting lost in the desert."

"You don't say..." Nicias said with a quiet laugh as he looked from the scarf in the basket to the vibrant shade of her hair. He had come to love the color on her, it suited her so well. "Our deserts are not forgiving terrain to travel upon. I would surely be lost at sea should I try to take that sort of venture on my own." As they made their way to the back of the store, Nic grabbed a few things off the shelves and threw them into the basket. Extra medical supplies here....a food delicacy there...all in all he was satisfied with their haul. "Looks like we should be good for a few days of travel. Lets go pay and we'll take care of the travel plans and packing." Now that she was done shopping, he took the basket from her and took it to the store clerk to settle the bill. He added a little extra for a tip as the store's selection had everything they needed and it was greatly appreciated in Nicias' opinion. "Lets get ready." He said with a warm smile as he adjusted their purchases and lead Reina out of the store. This would be quite the adventure, he thought.
