[The speaker might look familiar- a little more disheveled than usual, but it's definitely Sabriel, peering through the screen like she's never seen one before- and then trying to compose herself.]

Greetings- I am Abhorsen, and I fear I am a stranger in this land. [Her tone is formal, but there's an undercurrent of urgency.]

I understand that this country is not troubled by the Dead- People I spoke to were very clear that the recent festivities didn't involve any real monsters. [Although she still doesn't understand how the candy is related.] I'm sure it was all very charming, but I'd like to know if anyone knows where I can purchase a sword- a real sword, not a toy. [She wavers, her expression softening a little before she presses on.] If anyone's seen a white cat with a red collar- He calls himself Mogget, and he's probably said something incredibly rude by now- or a man called Touchstone- he's a little older than me, with curly brown hair and two swords, and he doesn't really understand technology.

I have read the pamphlet, and I've been given no reason to distrust our well-informed hosts. [But there's an unspoken question in her tone- 'is there any reason TO trust them?'] Still, this is all- quite a story. [And one she's not sure what to make of- technology has never fascinated her, and this is all far beyond anything the devices in Ancelstierre are capable of.]

Sure. [ To be honest, he can't recall what she wore last time he hung out with her -- other than her surcoat. ] What kind of things are you looking for, clothing wise?

[bindsthedead]

Warm things, for winter. And nothing too bright. [Pastels had never been flattering on her.] Or impractical.

[ambasciatore]

Fair. There's a great shop up the street that has some pretty decent winter coats. [ And it's not Thot Topic, he swears. ]

[bindsthedead]

Lead the way then- winter coats are just the sort of thing I'm looking for.

[ambasciatore]

[ He motions for her to follow, tucking his hands into his coat pockets. ]

There's actually a shopping plaza not too far away from the shop. They have a small grocery store that sells locally grown crops and meats. It's pretty nice, though not as big as some of the other places around.

[bindsthedead]

That's fine. I should probably bring home some of my own food, instead of expecting my housemates to do the shopping. [Sabriel follows easily.]
