Once she hears Nilia's response to her half-joking musings, Brelia shrugs her shoulders and flicks her ears a few times. "I suppose you have a point there. Better to play it safe on our first night out while we wait for the hype to die down, right?" she asks her while patting her on the shoulder. Despite the fact that Irice had offered to make weapons and armor for the party, the feline is impatient, and isn't up for gathering raw metal for what she's looking for anyway; she'd rather get her hands on the finished product right away. As such, though Nilia seems ready to go to the inn straight away, Brelia tells her "I'll catch up later after my shopping trip," and then scampers her way over to the shopping district.<br/><br/>The first things she does once she enters the shopping district is browse the weapons and armor... though at this point, her hide armor she got from the arena should fare well enough for the time being, so she can spend her hard-earned gold on other things. Once she has her more combat-oriented equipment sorted out, she buys some standard adventuring gear before she moving on to acquiring more suitable clothing for the future. More specifically, a form-fitting button-down shirt colored a soft beige color-- though she intentionally keeps the bottom half of the buttons unbuttoned, not that it's particularly visible under her armor. For her lower body she puts on a grey, mono-colored skirt that goes down to just above her knees. To finish up the outfit, she buys a pair of eyeclasses, meant to be purely cosmetic in order to have it compliment (and amplify) her natural charm.<br/><br/>(Shopping!  Morningstar - 8 gp, Heavy Wooden Shield - 7 gp, Oracle's Kit - 9 gp, 10 days rations - 5 gp, Light Crossbow- 35 gp, 30 crossbow bolts- 3gp, Courtesan's outfit- 8gp, Eyeglasses- 5g.   Gp remaining: 47 gp )<br/><br/>With shopping done and over with, Brelia moves on to other things, namely listening in on conversations people are having in the city. Mostly she does this while she's going back to the Tipsy Unicorn, and also when she's inside i. Though she is interested in the rowdiness in the Unicorn, she's not particularly rowdy herself, so she's not about to get herself involved in it. If there are any conversations about the recent fights in the arena, or if there are talks about potential jobs for adventurers, then Brelia is ever willing to insert herself into those conversations in order to steer them in a useful direction: namely how to get extra pocket change. And also flirting to potentially make a meal of someone, if there's an opportunity for that.<br/><br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/651749">http://orokos.com/roll/651749</a>mDiplomacy: 20+11-5 = 26
