Soon enough, they were in the correct district for their mission.  "Princess, do not go far.  If anyone speaks to you, do not speak back.  It will take me only a short while to gather everything that I need in this area.<em>Do not wander off</em>.  Your father would be displeased if he heard that I had allowed such a thing."  Irony at its best.  In reality, Yifa's father probably knew that while her having a bodyguard would be a welcome addition for protection of his daughter, she really didn't<em>need</em>such a thing against most mortals and certainly your average young Dragonblood.  Stepping away, Mera went to purchase the supplies.
