Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shamari paused when the stall owner started to talk to Rumple, making sure the moogle didnt get herself into anything they would have to fight to get out of... or that would drain her gil. But it seemed that Rumple knew how to deal with venders, which was a good thing.

Thinking abouther weapon when Rumple mentioned it, she took the bladed half from her sheath and looked over the blade a shaft. It needed repairs if nothing else. Maybe an upgrade if she could find a good Al Bhed to do it.
"Look for weapon displays. They will know how to fix Shamari's weapon."
She told Rumple, putting the weapon away once again so they wouldnt get in trouble on her part. After she said it she wondered if she should have mentioned that she would prefer an Al Bhed, but she didnt bother to correct herself after wards.

Walking along the street slowly she looked between al lthe stalls which seemed to sell mostly items and Machina things of all different kinds. Not many weapon stalls around the city it seemed.

Hearing the man talk Shamari stopped to listen, letting Rumple do most of the talking to this one. He didnt seem to be like the rest indeed, rather he was, or used to be, someone more and he knew what he was talking about. She could tell.

Putting a hand under her chin in thought, Shamari looked down to Rumple before lowering her hand away to speak.
"If you think we are ready for the challenge, then Shamari will go."
She said, looking back up to the man. She hoped he knew what he was talking about, otherwise they were about to get themselves into a lot of trouble.

Pulling out both halves of her weapon she set them on the table and looked then shady man up and down. Maybe a test to see.
"Veq Shamari's faybuhc, yht fa femm ku."*
She said in Al Behd, wondering if he would understand.

*Fix Shamari's weapons, and we will go.

Shamari smiled lightly as he responded and followed him into the secret room that held his shop. She had to duck slightly to get inside, but it was nothing new to her. There was many a time when she smacked her head on a door frame because she wasnt paying attention.

When he told them they could look around while he worked, Shamari took to looking at the different weapons, impressed by the selection, though they seemed a bit rusty. She didnt bother with armor. If they wanted in, it was probably better that they not look like they were battle ready.

Picking up one of the blades with a gun crafted in it, Shamari took an intrest in the blade and its design. A normal looking sword with a revolver looking bit used as the hilt. Testing the weight in her hand she looked behind her to make sure Rumple wasnt too close before she twirled the blade to test it. Sure it was a bit rusted, but what wasnt here?

Turning to look at Rumple the Ronso smiled.
"The armor is a bit big for Rumple."
She commented, seeing that it didnt fit as well as one would have hoped.

The Ronso looked over to the man as he spoke of the blade. Holding it up to examine its edge she gave a glance past it to him.
"Shamari takes this blade too. In return for information, you make another for Shamari."
She said, lowering the blade away from her face so she could watch the man work on her most prized possesion.

Looking over to Rumple she gave a nod.
"Always careful. Keep your wits about you."
She replied, turning away to look for a sheath for th blade. Finding one she tied it around her waist and slide the gunblade into its scabbard so it hung on her left hip.

Stepping back to the merchant fixing her Spear she crossed her arms and waited for him to finish.

Shamari seemed a bit unsure of the request, whcih became apparent when her eyes danced around the room for a moment after he spoke of her leaving it there. Taking in a breath she resolved it was worth it, and reaching up she undid the Spear scabbar from around her and set it on the table next to his work space.

She shot him a threatening look before lifting her hand away from the scabbar and turning to walk out the door, picking up some bullets as she left. It would be a little hard for her to get used to working without her spear, but she easily adapted. Stepping out through the cloth she took a quick look around before heading off toward the tower.

The whole way she thought about ways to get in, figureing that brute forced wouldnt get them far, and she had a feeling that sneaking in was out of the question. Perhaps they could trick them into letting them in? She was sure a place like that was always looking for guards and people to protect. They could get away with that since thats what she did for a living anyway.

Shamari hadnt said a word since they left the weapons master, head deep in thought seemed to keep her out of conversation. Seeing the tower get closer wasnt really helping her either. Stopping as they reached the gate, Shamari looked over to Rumple and gave her a wink.
"Time for Shamari to earn her pay."
She said, not remembering if she had ever told the moogle she work as a guardian for hire.

Stepping up to one of the gaurds she tried to see to it they didnt point their guns at her, though she wasnt suprised when they did anyway. Holding up her hands slightly she looked between the closest ones and chose her words carfully.
"Shamari comes in peace. Looking for job as guard, Rumple and Shamari both. Maybe an opening somewhere for us?"
She said cautiously, lowering her hands to her sides after she got finished talking.

Shamari looked at the gaurds as they basically checked to see if she would be strong enough to handle the job. She knew she could, but Rumple, that would take some convincing.
"Shamari fought a whole pack of Bandersnatch."
She said, giving herself some credit. But with Rumple, it was time to lie. That was something so easy for her since she didnt seem to have a whole lot of different facial expressions.
"Rumple took down a Zuu."
She lied, crossing her arms in a authoritive manner.

Eyeing the guards she wondered if they would take her word for it with Rumple. They already seemed to be willing to let them both in so long as she stayed with Rumple, which was fine by her.
