"Thank you."

*Manon grabbed Terrel's hand and held on rather tightly. She assumed the worst would happen if she got lost in this crowd. She feared that she would get lost for so long that she got hungry and attacked.*

*Manon gripped onto her umbrella tightly, afraid that she might lose it. Manon stared out into the busy street while taking deep breaths in. This was about as ready as she'd ever be.*

"Let's try again."
Curtis
*Terrel would face the crowd as Manon clung onto him, soon walking in with his wolves following just behind them. Being as tall as he was, it was at least easy to overlook most of the crowds in order to find where they were heading, suddenly turning to the annoyance of those walking in pace with the others.

As they neared the marketplace, the main crowd would begin to thin out a bit as people separated off to the different shops, some food stalls, some clothing, some other treasures of sorts. Only when they could finally take a breather from the other people, would Terrel finally come to a stop to scan the stores.*"Reckon I can get away with buying just one of the two items?"*He'd suddenly ask the Vampiress as if the whole walk was just another day of traveling.*
Walter
*While following Terrel through the crowd she kept her eyes down at the ground. Not only did she have three beautiful wolves to worry about. Having to tiptoe around their tails as they kept close. She also had to worry about Terrel's cloak which threatened to trip her occasionally.*

*Manon's attention pulled to a food-stand once on the other side. The aroma made the Vampire aware of how hungry she felt for city food. It was enough for her to turn her head towards the vendor, trying to catch a peek at what exactly they were offering. The only thing she followed was Terrel's hand until she walked right into him, nearly tripping them both.*

"Ouch!" 

*She peeked her head past Terrel to see why he had stopped in the first place, expecting to see a fight or event but saw neither. She then looked up at him with a confused look upon her face.*

"What? What are we even here for again."

*This was the third time she asked now, the last time she asked she couldn't hear from all the people bumping into her.*
Curtis
*Terrel would turn to look back at her as she bumped into him, slowly bringing his free hand to his head in a light facepalm. Part of him was starting to think the wolves listened better.*

"We're getting a bracelet."*He'd eventually say. With Manon having not heard his initial question, the Elf would have to simply go with the idea of calling it a draw and trading with one another. He'd angle his head in the direction of one of the stores. Bracelet shopping wasn't really his specialty, but he could probably just grab one easily and call it a day.*

"Might be able to find one there, hopefully at a relatively cheap price."*The Elf didn't really feel like having spend a lot of money, especially with having to go to a bunch of other stores already. His gaze would shift back to her, saying:*"Maybe you can help me find one."
Walter
*She looked down at Terrel's gesture of disapproval. She wasn't used to how busy a city could be. So far all she felt was anxiety over being found out.*

"I don't know anything about bracelets but I'll help where I can. And I'm sorry. I'm. It's. This is overwhelming." 

*She wasn't a very prideful person but admittinf that she felt overwhelmed. Needing to hold onto him to travel. She felt vulnerable to say the least. Manon turned her head towards the shops he pointed at. Truth be told she couldn't see nearly that far due to the lingering sunlight.* 

"This was for your friend right."
Curtis
*The Elf would gaze at her for a while, thinking something over a bit. It seemed she didn't like much of the big city either. He supposed he should have suspected such after finding her randomly in the forest with questionable people skills, but surely she's been to some city around the area, right?*

"Friend is a strong word, more like an acquaintance of sorts. Only ever spoke to them once anyways. Maybe I'll find them in the forest again by accident. That or walk away with a bracelet that I'll have to find something to do with."

*He would turn away, heading off in the direction he had originally gestured in.*"Don't need to know anything about bracelets so long as you know what they look like and can read a price. Pick something that looks decent just try not to find one that'll bankrupt me."*He'd explain upon nearing the door and opening it slightly before tilting his head to the side.*"Come on, let's head inside."
Walter
"Do you know what colour she likes?" 

*She followed along side Terrel as he began walking towards the shop. The last time she went shopping for jewelry was with her parents. It was something she wanted for her birthday, a bracelet or necklace. The one she picked was nice purple bracelet that broke within a week.* 

*As Terrel opened the door she released his hand, nodding her head in appreciation as she entered inside. Once inside she head over to the largest case that housed multiple well crafted and expensive jewelry. She took one look at the price and turned around, walking straight back Terrel. Given from her actions it was clear the display baited her towards the expensive section, and she fell for it immediately.*

*Now she looked into the other cases that contained birthstones or other eye catching jewlery. The one that caught her eye was almost a replica of the one she once owned. Staring at it for minutes and then moved on.*

"This one looks nice." *She said with a finger pointing at a blue and red bracelet made out of crude stones.*
Curtis
"Not one bit."*He'd say to answer her question.*"Not like she really gave me a detailed list of what she's looking for before we parted ways."

*Terrel would enter the store after her, coming to stand idly inside it as he gazed around at the different jewelry lining the cases with mild interest. He'd occasionally glance back at Manon with her wandering about, trying to pick out a nice enough bracelet, giving a light shake of his head as she briefly returned from exploring the expensive section.

His gaze would follow after her for a while, only refocusing his attention as she finally pointed out one of the bracelets.*"How much is it?"*He'd ask over to her from where he stood.*
Walter
"It's a small handful of copper coins. Maybe half a silver? It has pretty red and blue stones. The rope seems good enough quality. I hope it doesn't snap though."

*She felt like the bracelets that had a chain running through were the most likely to survive any sort of task. In fact, the rope would probably break the second someone walked in the crowd of people.*

*She continued to point at it as she turned her head upwards. For some some reason she expected him to be leaning over her by then. She thought he would care to take a glance at the bracelet.*

*Standing upright once more, turning to face Terrel who didn't seem compelled to move.*

"Not one your things, I guess. I hope your friend. Er. I hope 'she' likes it."
Curtis
*Terrel would give a dip of his head, eventually walking over to where Manon was and glancing down at the bracelet. He suppose it'll have to do for a reasonable price like that.*

"You know Manon, for what it's worth. I hope she does too."*He'd say. What a waste it would be otherwise. The Elf would glance over to the store clerk, calling them over so that they could get the bracelet out for them.

Soon enough he would hand the copper over, taking the bracelet in a small pouch in the simple exchange.*"Not a bad deal, I'd say."*The Elf would point out upon the clerk walking off.*"Ready to go rejoin the crowd?"
Walter
*While Terrel and the Clerk finished the transaction, Manon walked back to the case which held a familiar looking purple bracelet. A feeling of nostalgia brought her back to Ulnoor, a simpler time and place for a much younger healer.*

*The Vampire looked from the case back to the busy crowd outside. She was not ready, maybe she should have wasted more time picking out the bracelet.*

"No, I'm not."

*She said before walking through the door and holding it open for Terrel. She looked from shop to shop, they seemed to be in the clothing section.* 

"What's uh.."

*He was probably tired of repeating the list of items by now, she remember asking at least two times before. Hopefully she wouldn't get caught in the sea of people.*

"Ready when you are."
Curtis
*Terrel would head outside, scanning the area temporarily until he couldn spot the kind of store he was looking for. One with supplies for traveling, basic gear, and other potions and items of the sorts. A kind of convenience store for adventurers even. The Elf could hear her start to ask a question, soon silencing herself once more in what he figured she had decided against saying.

The Elf would pocket the pouch with the bracelet in it, figuring it best to keep it safe in there for now until he could reunite with his horse later. With Manon saying she was ready, he'd glance back at her and would ask:*"You aren't going to suddenly disappear off into the crowd if I take my eyes off you, are you?"

*Either the Vampiress was bad at navigating or just being in crowds in general, either way, if losing a horse in a small town was that difficult, one can only imagine how hard it would be to find a person lost in a sea of other people. Much less one that couldn't get through town without being overwhelmed by everything.

The wolves would keep close to their sides, finding it just as hard to get by without being trampled by other people. Perhaps Terrel should have left them with Carl until they went to grab the pup later. Though that was a whole trip that Terrel didn't want to waste currently.*
Walter
*She took a step closer to Terrel, almost stepping on his heels. Being this crowd felt no different than swimming. Except, Manon wasn't a stong swimming. Pushed and swept by the current in both examples.*

"I'm trying my best." 

*She replied softly, she definitely wasn't going to run on her own. A piece of her found the irony in the situation. It wasn't that long ago where Terrel gave her permission to return back to her forest. Now, it seemed like he cared if she got swept away.*

"Stress promotes gray hairs, Terrel. If you keept this up you'll settle in no time."

*The joke was entirely to calm her own nerves. She hardly made jokes in general, least of all when she was anxious. She didn't know why she told one now but it was enough.*

*She nodded up at him, it was the most she was going to give in terms of signals.*
Curtis
"I put my life on the line every other day. If I don't have gray hairs already, I'm sure I'll be fine here."*The Elf would say back in a lighter tone. He'd turn off suddenly upon Manon's nod, having found the shop he was looking for specifically as he'd lead the way off towards it.

He couldn't blame Manon for trying at least. Maybe one day she'll get used to the city if she hangs around here long enough. Not that they were planning to stay long. He and Okami had a long journey back north still after they drop off the wolves.* 

"Last stop, then we can rest a bit until sundown. This place should have what we need in a city this big."*The Elf would explain as he continued walking with his wolves moving just ahead of him.*
Walter
*She followed Terrel into the crowd. Not even a few seconds in she lost her hold on the umbrella. She stopped and quickly turned around to chase the purple cloth. She manged to grab it after blindly following it, hoping it still worked. Turning around in the middle of the crowd as she hurried forward.*

*She managed to push herself through the crowd and to the side Terrel was. It looked as if she got spat out by the sea of people. She didn't arrive exactly beside Terrel but a little ways away. All that he saw was a girl pushing out through people and landing on all fours. In her left hand was a dirty purple umbrella. Apprently she had a nose bleed as she took a knee to her face when she picked the umbrella up.*

*She turned her head and looked at Terrel with blood dripping from her nose. She pushed herself onto her feet as she walked over, frustration written across her face before yelling.*

"I hate the Capital!"
