Home Sweet Home|Procellamens, Maelstrom

[Northen Light36]

Acqua nods in agreement. "Come on Taurus, I still need to replace what the Storms took," she reminds him. "The sooner we do that the sooner we can go help Thelon."

[Kender Bard]

Taurus bows to each of the Masters. "Master Thelon will be returned to our people in good time, council."
"Be careful, Taurus," one of the women cautions. "We cannot afford to lose more of our kind." With a grave look, Taurus simply nods and leaves, motioning for Acqua to follow. ~Where would you like to go first?~

[Northen Light36]

Acqua frowns thoughtfully. "Is there somewhere here I can replace my knives?" she asks quietly. "I don't like having only my Water abilities to defend myself with." Smiling, she adds, "Not that I expect any trouble here, but... it's just habit I guess."

[Kender Bard]

Nodding in understanding, Taurus walks through the city towards a weaponry shop. The entire city seems rather deserted. They only see another Mind type once or twice while walking the main road. "I apologize if the selection is meager. We're not a weapon reliant people." He holds open the door to the weaponry shop for her.

[Northen Light36]

Acqua nods quietly and walks in, glancing around.

[Kender Bard]

The place is dimly lit, and weapons hang from various racks on the walls, on stands, and the most expensive and ornate lay in glass cases. A young girl, barely twelve, sits on the floor with some marbles, playing. She glances up at Taurus and Acqua in confusion before it dawns on her that these are customers. Perking up, she calls out, "Papa, some people want to buy something I think!" An older man walks out holding a bowl with some flour and dough in it. Even as he talks, he continues to work on the concotion. "Welcome!"

[Northen Light36]

Acqua smiles at the young girl and man. "Good morning. I hope you don't mind if I look around a little?" she askes politely.

[Kender Bard]

The man shrugs and smiles. "It's fine by me. Let Aadi know if you need me for anything. I'm making dinner, so I'll just be in the back." He smiles and walks off to continue his cooking. Aadi giggles and sits back down on the floor to continue her game.

[Northen Light36]

Acqua smiles then turns to the small collection of knives, looking over them carefully. A couple of times she picks up a knife to test the weight and balance of it then frowns and puts it back. At last she picks out a very plain silver knife with a black leather grip. "Not perfect but it'll do," she mutters to herself.

[Kender Bard]

Taurus glances at it and smiles. "It's nice, but why not something prettier?" It's painfully obvious he knows nothing of weapons.

[Northen Light36]

Acqua looks at him and sighes. "Because Taurus, it's not what it looks like that's important," she explains. "The weight and balance of the knife will effect how much control I have over it and in a fight that makes all the difference. Prettier knifes are usually just for show, if you tried to use them in a fight you'd probably find they'd fall apart or you wouldn't be able to get the proper grip."

[Kender Bard]

Taurus scratches his head. "Well that makes sense, I guess." He grins good naturedly. "This is why you're my protection and not vice versa."

[Northen Light36]

Acqua nods then turns to the little girl. "Aadi, can you get your father for me please?" she asks.

[Kender Bard]

Aadi smiles and nods, getting up and scampering into the back room. The man walks out, considerably cleaner than before, and with his hands free. "So you found something you like?"

[Northen Light36]

Acqua nods. "Yes sir," she replies. "How much are you charging for this knife?"
