Sasha took a sip of her ale, absently listening to the conversation. A bath sounded wonderful! She thought that maybe the law had something to do with humans not wanting to bathe in furry water, or maybe there was a stigma that all beastmen were dirtier than humans.<br/><br/>One of the other women in their group asked what she was wondering about the law outloud, and seemed embarrassed about doing so. "Most likely a race thing," she whispered, even though the woman had said to ignore her.<br/><br/>Sasha took another sip of the ale and made a face from the bitter alcohol taste. She wasn't much of a drinker, especially when the drink wasn't 1 part rum and 9 parts orange juice.<br/><br/>What appeared to be a large sum of money was handed to their group by the beastman. Sasha's eyes widened for a moment, then she realized she had no idea how much 2000 Kell would be able to buy them here.<br/><br/>At the bath house, one of the women jumped into a shower almost immediately. Sasha decided to stay close to the woman with the katana, just in case.<br/><br/>When she mentioned that this was the best thing that could happen under their circumstances, Sasha nodded her agreement. "Yes, we were met with a lot of hospitality, mostly thanks to you and your sword."<br/><br/>Sasha placed her laptop well away from the bath, hoping it wouldn't get splashed, before undressing and sinking joyessly into the warm water.<br/><br/>All too soon the bath was over. Sasha got dressed, grabbed her laptop, and met the others outside. She almost laughed out loud at finding the woman sleeping on the grass on the sun. It would have been quite the unusual site back home, but Sasha supposed it could be a regular occurrence for where they were. Sasha followed the others to the clothing shop. She was a little disappointed that they didn't have cotton or polyester. Everything seemed to be made of wool. Sasha hoped that these clothes were thin enough to not be too hot. Everything also seemed to be equipped with sleeves. She picked up a white long-sleeved shirt that seemed somewhat light, and then headed over to the pants. "Would a skirt help me blend in better?" Sasha wondered aloud. She decided on a pair of tan slacks anyways and quickly joined the others outside.<br/><br/>At the question of learning magic or getting weapons, Sasha was quick to answer, "Weapons, please!" One of the others voted magic, so she decided to explain herself, "Magic gifts might take time to learn, leaving the majority of us vulnerable. I feel a physical weapon would be the safer route. Hopefully if we're all visibly armed, no one will think to bother us."
