After spending sometime trying it on, and adjusting the armor, she buys it. The price is a bit high, but with all the money she amassed, it shouldn’t be that much of a problem.
The many metal plates inside the armor will chaff against bare skin. Before she puts it on, she ties her open faced coat together. Looks good enough. The rich blue color and dark clothing is a decent contrast.
After the leaving warehouse, she heads for the ship.
The ship has two large wrinkled sails. Apparently they help with sailing somehow.
As you step into the ship, you notice Makari drying the blades and whetstone after use.
You walk up to him and greets the boy. The boy is a lot older than the last time you met him. He has a large cut across on his cheek and some kind of bite on his neck. He’s probably about 15? 16 years old?
He recognizes you as his caretaker, but forgot your name. You don’t fault him too hard for it, as you could barely remember his last name.
He begins talking about what happened during his childhood.
