Well, experience was the best teacher.<br/><br/>Delphine had to wonder, again, how long she'd been in this world. A few weeks? A month? It couldn't be more than that, certainly...She really should ask Master about that. Her perfect lips curled in a thoughtful pout, at his words...<br/><br/>Oh, right.<em>Gold</em>. She didn't have enough on hand! The lovely Eidolon hadn't quite seen the value of gold before...It was heavy, mostly, and it weighed her down when she carried it with her - But she had to admit, she really wished she had some on hand now!<br/><br/>"Hmmmm..."<br/><br/>Her slim fingers slid along the large stone of the ring she was wearing - She was sure it was worth more than thirty gold, but it was a keepsake! Then again, she wasn't sure how happy the noble would be to see her again-<br/><br/>Decisions, decisions. And here she'd thought that freedom would be, well,<em>freeing</em>instead of bewildering!<br/><br/>"-I don't have *that* much gold on hand, at the moment," she said...Surprised at her own reluctance to surrender the token! "But if you'll be here in a week or two, I can pay you then..."<br/><br/>She reached out to retrieve the box - Her expression thoughtful, now. Thirty gold probably wasn't *that* much to Master, though she'd have trouble explaining why she wanted it - But in their adventures, they tended to come across *some* treasure, at least!<br/><br/>It was an important lesson - Next time, she'll hold onto some!
