Ora's caution after her second near-death-experience of the day has slowed her down a bit and she arrives just as Lyra and Evelyn are leaving. In fact, the foreign girl from the failed merchant caravan nearly bumps right in to them. "Excuse me!" she calls out apologetically before approaching the blacksmith and greeting her. It doesn't take long for her to find what she's after.<br/><br/>"Do you mind if I pick these up? Feel how they are weighted?"<br/><br/>If she gets a yes she carefully handles one of the weapons, getting a sense of its quality. This may happen a few times before she finds one she likes and hands over the shells for it. What she'll do next is anyone's guess (most of all hers) but at least she will be armed... the two girls she just encountered don't occur to her as possible companions, but the reverse may not be true.
