If you are to adjust to your new life, then building yourself a new wardrobe is a must.

A simplistic robe of spun wool colored by an expensive purple dye, ideal for relaxing in should you feel inclined to stay indoors someday.

The other is Night Spice, a piquant aroma that the merchant assures you will make the person of your choice eager to 'gobble you up.' While understandably leery of inviting surface-dwellers to commit cannibalism, you ultimately dismiss it as some odd vernacular and decide to take both of them.
