"Well, he certainly looks like he knows what he's talking about," Kechara replied.  "And you only have to get something for me if you want to, Yifa," she replied in a tone just as soft.  "I'm not going to force you."  Soon enough, the Solar, the Dragon-Blood, and the small retinue of Icewalkers had left the Gateway hall and were heading over to the District of Artisans to see if they could find a store that would sell them what Yifa was seeking this day.<br/><br/>"Yifa?"  Kechara asked her quietly, keeping her voice low.  "Are you sure that...that you want just a total stranger for tonight?  I don't know about you, but when I was your age...it was important enough to me that I wanted to share that experience with someone I knew, someone I trusted."  She had to talk Yifa out of this idea...and not spoil the surprise that was coming for her tonight.<br/><br/>Soon enough, they arrived in the District of Artisans.  Signs hung outside stores and galleries and other establishments visually proclaimed the goods being sold inside.
