"Thank you." Lyla replied, even as Niarra's eyes narrowed a touch. But she didn't say anything until they stepped away.<br/><br/>"Lyla, I'm fairly certain from the way the man was looking at us, that any 'work' will be like what we had to do to get this clothing." Niarra hissed, frowning at her friend. "Do you really want to go through that<em>again?</em>"<br/><br/>"What? I didn't see any sign of that!" Lyla protested. "Are you sure?"<br/><br/>"Are you alright? It was pretty damned obvious. I think you might've hit your head or something." Niarra looked even more worried. "Or is that gem making you oblivious?"<br/><br/>"Of course not! I just...okay, maybe I was distracted. But what choice do we have? We can try to approach one of the stores and see what we can trade, but unless we go hunting outside of town, we can't do<em>anything</em>, Niarra. We're barely clothed, if you can call these clothes, and we've only got a few days of food. You need a bow at a minimum, and we need to figure out where we are so we can go home." Lyla retorted, frowning at Niarra, who hesitated, then sighed in defeat.<br/><br/>"I...I suppose you're right. But let's check a store first? See if they know any way of earning money that isn't going to involve us having sex?" Niarra pleaded.<br/><br/>"Totally agreed. So let's find a shop with a bow, or clothing. Though I think the latter isn't going to be available to us at all." Lyla added sourly, then headed out to try to find an open bowyer.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Lyla Sense Motive: 2-1=1<br/>Niarra Sense Motive: 9+1=10
