Welcome to Gaia! ::

Miyuki gave Shoneah a look, "You have one set of clothing, there is no way it'll survive several years of traveling, and we'll be going further north eventually. You'll freeze without proper gear. Mom wants you to have either a sword or proper fighting knives, she says in a large fight you won't have time to reload a gun and bullets run out."

The kitsune then looked over at Eron and gave him a sort of pitying look.

"And... mom said that while you're learning Earth magic, she would prefer you at least use a staff. So you're going to be stuck with staff lessons from either her, ada, my uncle or myself. Sorry about that, but some of these places can get unfriendly. We're going to see about a metal staff because it'll give you a better connection to the earth."

"Oh..." Eron blinked and wondered if he should be worried.

"As for the bag, if you want to keep your bag fine, but let me rune it so it can carry all you need," Miyuki insisted, "Otherwise there's no way you'll be able to carry all of that without being bogged down. As for the hobby item, while we will be traveling, there will also be periods we'll be in place like this. Though not as long as we're staying here, this is a different case because Kyrie hasn't seen her husband in years so that's why we've been here so long. Still, you both need something to do when we settle, to keep busy, otherwise you'll get restless."

"Nope, just yourself," Miyuki replied, "And good, then we can just focus on Eron's staff."

Slowly getting up and brushing himself off, Eron thought Miyuki looked a bit too happy for all of this. Then again, he had always heard shopping was a girl thing (not that he would know).

"Let's go," Miyuki motioned, "It's going to take a while."

Turning, she then called out asking if anyone wanted to join them.

Miyuki also had her Pokemon stay behind, simply because it was easier that way. She didn't foresee any trouble while they shopped and having Suki there to play with Kaede generally kept the both of them out of trouble.

Heading into town, Miyuki explained the plan.

"We're going to head to the tailor's first, simply because I don't know if they have the furs we need for your winter gear, if they don't we'll have to go hunting to supply those furs. That's what Kyrie did for us before we left Caras Galadhon."

Miyuki blinked and then hit her forehead with her palm. She had completely forgot, thank goodness Andarien was there to reminder.

"You're right..." she groaned, "And they probably don't, I grew another inch or two didn't I? I'm much taller than mom now..."

Still, she didn't want to waste such clothing and they hadn't been used.

"I'll ask the tailor while we're there to see if the clothes can be salvageable with an inch or two of extra height. No one would buy them, they all have openings in the behind for my tails...."

So she couldn't just resell them to other people.

Miyuki thought about it, on one hand she didn't want to but Andarien was being logical about it.

"Do either of you mind if we head back of a quick check?" Miyuki asked.

Eron, who was use to stage growing children (he had heard of the complaints of them growing too quickly out of their clothes), shook his head.

"I don't mind at all," he told her.

"Good," Miyuki nodded, "So it works out then."

She didn't like to make other people wait, but it was good to check as Andarien had said. If they were lucky, maybe they would run into Iorlas and Miyuki could ask her about the clothing.

They hadn't made it too far away from camp, so it wasn't a long trip back.

"Hmmm..." Miyuki paused and thought about, "You're right, we should go to the weapon shop first. Just because people tend to be a bit of suspicious of newcomers."

And she was sure that this was their first time in the town. So a lot of people will be wary at first.
