"Now where is it... ah, yes."
The woman pulls out of a box, what looks like a collar, with psionic crystals embedded in it. She hands it to Duk.
"Put this on her. It takes about a day for it to resonate properly, but after that, she will definitely consider you her master."

Nan Fa Ra Duk pulled back from the box and looked at the old lady.
"Master? What are you saying? I don't want to enslave her!"

"Wha-.. ..aren't you-"
"Uh, M-Miss?"
Another voice enters the shop. Much to the surprise of both Duk and the woman, there stood a man in a blue robe, long black hair, and a greasy look on his face, not too unlike Duk. if it weren't for the lack of an instrument over his shoulder and slightly different facial hair, they could almost be twins.
"What on earth??" the man looks dumbfounded.
"Uh.. ah.." The old woman laughs nervously. "I don't suppose you're looking for something for a pet?"
"Wh-why yes, how did you know!?"

"Hmmph, I can't belive this. You mistook me for this guy? And I fell for the whole psychic line."

"I am psychic, you clod! But visions come when they come, It's not my fault you look just like that other buffoon!" With a huff, the old lady tosses the collar to the Duk lookalike and shoos him away, before turning back to Duk.
"So... why are you here, then?"

Nan Fa Ra Duk sneered at the shop keeper.
"Some psychic. Whatever, it doesn't matter if you're really a pyschic or not. I'm here looking for a gift for the most beautiful lady in the world. She is a psychic and I figured she might enjoy a gift from this shop to let her know my intentions are true."

"Hmmmm.." The woman looks Duk over, as if reading and identifying things Duk does not see.
"You're free to peruse then, but I wouldn't take too long searching if I were you... the lady you speak of, is in great danger."

Nan Fa Ra Duk narrowed his eyes at the old shopkeep.
"Don't you even joke with me about that!" He shouted, "You can't even tell which customer is who and you're going to try and tell me someone I know is in danger? You've taken it too far!"

Aeon steps into the blacksmith's shop looking more than a little pissed about getting lost on a trip that should have taken at most only a few minutes. He sighs greatly and walks over to peruse the weapons specifically looking for a brace of throwing knives. one that holds a LOT of knives. As well as a crossbow.

Duk:
The woman looks up to Duk, her eyes glowing blue.
"Tsubaki Mifune.. is in danger."
-------
Aeon:
Kunai Brace A simple brace that can hold up to 7 "Kunai", ninja throwing knives. It conveniently comes with 7 kunai attached. Cost score: 5
Twin Kunai Brace The blacksmith can custom make a brace with an additional brace welded in, able to hold 14 kunai in a single brace. He'll even throw in the extra set.
Cost score: 8
Hunter's Crossbow A well-crafted imported crossbow with Qadarian design engraved in the handle. Cost score: 7
[As a medium-class ranged weapon, the attack score bonus for a ranged attack with it is higher than most small weapons like daggers and throwing stars are. It obviously has greater range as well. Usually the greater the weapon, the higher the bonus. However, weapon proficiency goes into play here, and the less physical combat training a character has, the less of a bonus they receive from these larger weapons, though you will rarely attain a penalty to attack unless the wielder to weapon proficiency gap is extreme, such as a wizard wielding an enormous kanabo. Some classes are automatically proficient with certain weapons, such as Samurai with katana and other two-handed weapons. The Fighter class is proficient with all weapons. All classes are proficient with light-class weapons like daggers.]

As Akane waits for promising customers she takes out some of the flowers she picked the other day and started making some floral crowns, just to spice some of her rituals for the water spirits.

For the next few hours, Akane is able to make some good coin with some wise and sound fortune-telling to those brave enough to approach her. Some, she even need not use magic, simply being an ear to lend and giving advice seemed enough.
[Akane has now has a coin purse with enough money to have a Wealth Score of 4 for up to three items.]

Aeon takes a moment to peruse the items before heading over to the shop owner.
"Greetings my friend, I was looking at your fine craftsmanship especially the brace of kunai over there and was wondering if it would be possible to custom make a brace that could hold twice as many. I understand it would be slightly more expensive however I would also like you to take into account a few facts. Firstly, as this would be a custom piece and one of a kind I would be a walking advertisement for your work. Also, how would it look if your own work should be used as a preferred weapon by one of the heroes who set out to save the kingdom with Shion Pa's own Jorogumo? Would that be worth a price cut?"

"Tell me everything!" the Geshou shouted!

Aeon: Success
"Hey, that's a great idea! I better paint my signature so folks can see it clearly. Wouldn't it be great if I got business from Rhasmapatra? And the local nobles love the Jorogumo of Shion-Pa! You've got yourself a deal."
[Aeon can now afford the Twin Kunai Brace at the price of the Kunai Brace.]
-----
Duk:
"Seek out her sisters in arms. They will lead you to her." The old woman nodded knowingly, as she walked to the back walls of the shop to tend to her inventory.

Akane smiles as she stuffs her pouch of money in her back pack. As she did so, she went back to the same shop she was in before. As she entered, she went and looked at the food rations and extra clothes.

Akane was able to afford the food rations and an extra pair of clothes, with enough change left for one more purchase should she need it.
As Aeon returns to the inn, he notices Neegüi in the stables, hanging with the horses. He finds their rooms just in time to see Tun Si exiting Nam Il's room, taking a break after a lengthy study session.

Closing the screen door behind her, Tun Si sighed heavily. She still had a lot to catch up on, but for now she was thankful to be given a break. Seeing Aeon, she politely acknowledges him and then left for her room.
Tun Si realized she hadn't washed since the start of the trip, and decided to go and bathe. After dressing in a casual robe, she gathered her clothing (consisting of her default and traditional monk attire) into a bundle, and steps out of the inn to find a bath house.

Tun Si: success
Nam Il's lessons of noble manners seeemed to pay off almost immediately, as people in Shion-Pa seemed to react much more amicably to a young noble woman who spoke with modesty and care.
Not too far from the inn, a high class private bath house was available.

She makes her way towards the bath house, which she identified from the paper lantern on the high post in front of the entrance. On the lantern read the Fa-Reinese character for 'bath'. Aside from baths, this particular house also did laundry work for their wealthy clients.
Upon entering she is greeted by a young servant woman, to whom Tun Si gave a friendly smile and politely asked. "I would like to book a private herbal bath, please." In addition, she hands the woman her clothes bundle.
"Also, I would appreciate it if could you give these a rinse?"
The servant nodded as she took the bundle. "Right this way, Milady."

Nan Fa Ra Duk moved quickly to the lady,
"Her sisters in arms? How am I supposed to find them?!" he shouted then stopped for a moment an idea hit him.
"Tama!" he shouted then ran out of the store and began trying to find the Djinnasa, using all his street guile to find her

Akane just ignored Nergüi but she tried to follow after Tun Si.
Akane walked in and just saw Tun si about follow the servant lady. "Silk!" Akane wanted to shout Tun Si, but this being Shion-Pa, she figured Tun Si didn't want certain people to know she was here.
