*Livio nods, looking over the axe several times over before picking it up, feeling its weight. Taking a couple of steps back and making sure no one's around him, he swings it close and tight, wielding it with both grace and power. A couple of flips gives Livio the impression that this weapon will suit him well; basic, simple, yet effective. How he liked to work.*

"I like it. It'll work. What's basic is what's reliable."

*Livio sets the axe back onto the table, along with the dagger, patting the kid on the head and ruffling her hair.*

"Hope you don't mind a bit of change then, I've only got 1 gold. I'd like both weapons, thanks."

"So. When do you get off work? I don't know the place, so would you mind showing me around?"
David
"Good mentality." She said back with a nod, giving thought into it herself for a moment. Everything she had ever used was relatively basic. Her spear, her buckler, her light armor — it was nothing special at all. Basic was basically the best, right?

The kid seemed pleased with her duty and walked off back towards the shop's stock area, and within moments she was right back to work. Carlyn watched her walk off with a quiet grin. She cared a lot about her sister, it was easy to tell in her expression.

"Thank you for the purchase. That's, what, 35 silver total? We can change you back the other... 65?" Carlyn replied, kneeling down and pulling her spear and a nice steel buckler out from under the counter. The Buckler was slid over her arm and the spear was slung over her back using a strap on tied to either end of the spear. It was much more *High profile* Than the small equipment of Livio, but she didn't seem to care. She was known well enough around Kadho to travel around with weapons unbothered.

"I can go right now. I'm not obligated to stay here, and my parents understand my desire to explore. They don't mind it as long as I let them know first, so... If you want to take a walk around Kadho right now, I wouldn't mind."
Thomas
"I believe it is. Though you can just charge me 50 to make it easier to track."

*Livio places the gold coin on the counter, taking the knife and dagger and slipping them into his belt; dagger on the left, axe on the right. He meticulously made sure that the attachments were just right, angled at just the right orientation to make it quick to draw yet secure.*

"Ah, the buckler. A cute little shield, yet highly effective when used right. Are you going with a theme?"

*The macen would tease the smaller kemonomimi, noticing that everything about her seemed to be small, unassuming, yet incredibly effective.*

"Anyway, that'd be perfect. Any suggestions on where we should go?"
David
"You're too kind." She said with a grin, although stuck to his word and took the gold pence and returned to him a small bag of 50 silver after fumbling around for a bit trying to get it all into a little coinpurse. And then, the dagger and axe were his for good. A nice pair of weapons, really.

Afterward, Carlyn walked around from the counter and said, "There's quite a few important shops and such here in Kadho, as well as the porting docks where you can catch boats across the country. A few captains will let you on for a price, and I can point out which ones those are. There's also a tavern, and two inns near here, but I'm sure there's more across Kadho."

The dog gave half a thought to his suggestion of a theme, not really... Understanding completely, but assumed he knew what he was talking about. It didn't occur to her that Livio had compared her to the small buckler. In her eyes, she really wasn't that small, although of course anybody who was taller than her could easily think otherwise. It took her a few seconds to really get a grasp on what he had said, and gave a slight eye in return. It wasn't an angry glance, but a slightly flustered one.
Thomas
"Oh, not at all."

*A port city. Livio remembered that much when he entered. What was important was the content of the boats. Many vessels tended to stink, from his experience, which he hated. Hopefully these were clean. Tavern and inns... Standard for a town. Travel and trade was likely to be common here then, due to the ships around.*

*From the corner of his eye, he good see Carlyn giving him a flustered look in response to his comment. Livio simply gives her a small wink, and continues to walk with the kemonomimi as if nothing had ever happened.*

"I imagine there's a lot of things coming in from all the ships?"
David
She gave a quiet scoff when he winked at her, shaking her head as if to ignore the smugness of her new friend. Carlyn was pretty used to putting up with people being incredibly smug from working at the store, so it didn't take her long to get over it.

As they went along, Carlyn pointed out certain things that might be important later on. Certain shops with good prices or inns that served breakfast in the morning. Conveniences that weren't particularly necessary, but were nice to know. A nod was given to his question, and she answered, "We have a majority of our goods come in from ships. We aren't major producers of agriculture or other important items, at least, not that I know of. Most everything we get for our daily lives in imported here."
Thomas
*The dog looked cute when she scoffed, like a, well, dog being annoyed by its owner. Not that he saw her that way; she was the one leading him around town. Breakfast, shops... Livio took mental note of all the town features. It seemed to be a trading hub, not producing many, if any essentials. Of course, with all this, Livio was trying to figure out how to find 'work' here.*

"If this is such a large trade hub, I imagine pirates might be a problem, no? People are moving in and out with goods all the time. Even if there weren't any, with this many people, it's likely that different groups would conflict with each other, right?"

*Livio began to think about possible crime. Carlyn herself carried a spear and buckler with her for self protection. Was there a reason to do so? Was perhaps there bandits or robbers that could strike out from the streets?*
