*It had been so long since Manon had been to a Capitol city. The other other Capitol she had seen was home, in Ulnoor. If anything she just felt homesick more now than ever. She was relieved to know that they were going to go shopping later in the day, thankful that they weren't going during peak hours. Even now it was difficult to prevent her umbrella from bumping into someone every couple of minutes and she contemplated just closing it and taking the sunlight directly. The only reason why she didn't follow through with that plan was because the sunlight drained her energy. Sparing Terrel from fatigue and cranky Manon seemed like the better option so far.* 

"What kind of things are we looking for again?" 

*She asked once more, the first time Terrel gave her the list of items she was enthralled by the large buildings and abundance of people. If asked directly, she would openly admit to being terrified. Scared of being found out, chased out. Scared of falling into another frenzy like she had a week or two previous.*

*Terrel would allow his cloak to shroud itself around him, covering his arms so that he walked more passively. It felt comfortable this way, though beneath the folds of clothing, his hand would idly tap at the hilt of his sword. Getting attacked or mugged in broad daylight was typically more rare, but Terrel wouldn't take his chances. He'd glance back at Manon as she asked what they were looking for again, soon turning his head away as he would move to once again step aside from large crowd and find a space to stand more idly without constantly watching where he stepped.*

"First, I'm going to get that cloth or bracelet thing so that I won't have to worry about getting it some later time and second, we are getting something for your condition."*He'd say the last part rather casually out in the public, figuring no one would care much for those words lest he said what he meant directly.*"It's one thing in the forest, it's a lot harder to explain when in the big capitols for all to see."*The Elf didn't care much for Okami's plan, allowing him to do as he wished to help Manon. However, reaching the bigger Capitols like Salvania, it made it much harder to cover for. The Elf would lean against the wall of a building, gazing at the road while his wolves would huddle themselves around his feet. It had been so long since they've come back to Salvania, and last time the pups were so young to have remembered what the place was like.*

"We'll go pick up their new packmate around dawn. Less people and distractions by then."
Walter
*Manon found traveling through the crowded streets rather difficult. She could hardly take a step without getting knocked from side to side. Her umbrella was the only beacon she had for Terrel. It was only bright purple object that was slightly higher than the rest. Sometimes she felt like she was intentionally getting elbowed into her stomach or side.* 

*All she heard from the elf was 'First' before she tripped on something, in this case someone. She didn't even see the young child.* 

"I'm so sorry little one." 

*She said to the young Macen before standing upright once more. If she didn't catch up she would lose sight of him entirely. She struggled to move past the crowd until she was standing directly in front of Terrel.*

"This is horrible."
Curtis
"Welcome to Salvania."*He'd say with a light chuckle, finding some amusement in the Elf shifting about just to be able to move with the crowds that went about the area.*"Most people are pretty active during this time of day, so we'll just have to put up with it until sundown."

*He'd idly reach into the folds of his cloak, tossing down a few small bits of jerky to his wolves to distract them a bit from the overwhelming environment.*"Marketplace should be open though, so we'll just have to survive long enough to find a store that has what we're looking for."
Walter
"Are they always just pushy?" *She placed a hand over her shoulder. Her hand lit up with that familiar purple light as she began healing herself. She lost count so she assumed 5 different people decided her left shoulder was a threat. She agreed to finding Sorrel, not getting mauled by strangers.* 

*She looked over her shoulder towards the sea of people before letting out a groan. She didn't want to go back in.* 

"I think someone touched me too, do people often get harassed in crowds like this? I know I'm cute but hopefully not *That* Cute."
Curtis
"Only when you let them be. Usually a well aimed punch to the jaw is enough to warrant them off or start a fight I suppose."*He'd say staring out into the crowd before shifting his gaze back down to Manon as she would heal herself. The color was at least one thing he could recollect from her healing, though he was no sorcerer.

Being asked if people here usually harassed others, he would answer with:*"Yes."*Terrel would say it in a blunt matter, deciding to rid whatever naivety she may have about the large city.*"They'll harass, mug, steal, kidnap, and probably do much worst if you aren't careful. They'll do it to the rich, the charming, the naive and the ugly. No one's really safe when someone is committed enough."*It was odd he seemed calm about it, simply shrugging it off as if it were just any other day.*"But shouldn't be as bad in the middle of the day. Worst case you'll lose whatever you're carrying on you without realizing."
Walter
" I don't have anything other than my Umbrella." 

*She dreamed of moving to a place like this. Now that she was here, she wanted to leave.*

"Why did we come here again? The other city was far more peaceful and less... Feely."

*She couldn't possibly see an opening back into the crowd. A person seemed to move directly where she wanted to go every time. She closed her umbrella, it was likely it would get damaged and it was the first gift she received in so long. Truth is, she had sentimental value stored with the umbrella.* 

"I'm ready when you are, I think. Can I hold onto your arm.. Maybe?"
Curtis
"Not all cities are the same. And since this one's larger, we're more likely to find what we're looking for."*He'd point out before standing back upright as he'd shift from moving off the wall.*"We should be close to the marketplace and once we head inside, we'll be fine from there until sundown."

*He'd get ready to head back out into the crowd, only turning his head back as Manon would ask to hold onto his arm. There was a moments' pause as he'd stare back at her before he'd eventually let out a quiet sigh, figuring it best not to lose the Vampiress in a sea of people after asking her to come out here.*"Alright."*He'd say, holding a hand back to her.*"Wouldn't want to lose you this soon into reaching Salvania."
