[Solymr]

Ketsuki couldn't find so much a weapon shop but more like a junk shop. Amongst disorganized heaps of metal lied some usable-looking stuff but nothing really looked like it was for sale. The young man in charge of the place was trying to play along.

Eehhh? Well if you want I can sell you these pieces of cr- I mean these fine weapons!

It was pretty obvious that in a city of mages conventional weapons weren't much appreciated. The man scribbled some prices in a piece of paper and presented it to the myrmidon.

Iron Lance: 450 g
Steel Lance (1): 700 g

[Ochita]

Albert managed to catch up to her shortly after, huffing and leaning against the closest wall to Laura.
  "I... I'm sorry! I was just worried! Just, you've had to drop everything at the prison to join us and now.. Now there's a war and Lamden's leaving to help Aberal and.. We've both lost what we called home.. I didn't mean to overhear whatever you were talking to Tomik about.. I only.. Heard.." Albert paused, and blushed a little.
  "W..Well. Just, I.. I don't mind it, you know.. Being like a brother to you, if that means I can help support you though times like these.." Albert hadn't really considered himself to be like a brother to anyone before, being an orphan.. Not even in the church did he feel like an actual brother to anyone..

[Haspen]

Laura blinked at Albert.

"As... as younger brother? You mean... oh, oh! And... and I was giving myself a chance here." She sat down at nearby bench, covered her face, and let out a sad 'waaaaaah' noise.

[Ochita]

Albert took a step back,looking guiltily from side to side.. What had he said... Did Laura hate her Family? Did he remind her about her being away from home? Oh god, he was just mangling this wasn't he? Awkwardly sitting down next to her, he lightly patted her pauldron
  "Aaah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I.. I... I don't want to make you cry.. I'm sorry if I reminded you of being so far away from home.."

[Haspen]

"No, it's not that! Uhhh! I meant, I thought, I hoped, you would, ummm..." Come onnnn, try talking, not punching or running away. TALKING!!

"Uhhh..."

"W-Well... something... someone... _c-closer."

[Ochita]

  "S...Someone.. Closer? Mm.... Like..." Albert paused. The only thing he could think of being closer than a brother is being like a father.. But... He was way too young for that! Plus, even he knew that Laura didn't mean that.
  "I... I'm not sure I understand... Like... What exactly?"

[Haspen]

"_{Albert you're murdering me worse than those spiders and eyes in the tomb.}"

"Uhhh... Albert, so, I, like, like you, very much! I like you so much that I- uhh, I- ummmm... I-I _{love you a whole b-b-b-b-bit.}" Laura waited a second and let out a sigh.

"T-There, I said it... I said it." She didn't believe herself, but HO BOY SHE DID!

[Ochita]

  "O-oh.."
  "W...Well, thank you! I mean, that's what love is! Liking a person so much that you can't help but want to be close to them, that's it, right!" Albert seemed as though he was trying to reaffirm what love meant, since the way that Laura was speaking this sort of implied that it... Was actually a lot more.....

[Haspen]

"Yes! Exactly! I heard my mother saying she loves my dad and they like each other for years now and live happily, it must be it! Even if I know you for about..."

"Has it been even a month?"

[Ochita]

Albert froze. While he was willing to be like a brother to Laura... He.......... He couldn't see himself being.. Like... That with her. Slowly, redness started to creep into his face. His entire face.
  "L...Laura... I would be like a brother to you to support you but.. Are we.. Are we really that close?" He paused, looking away.
  "I.. I like you, and I'd help protect you but.. I dont... know.." He looked down at the floor, and fidgeted.

[Haspen]

"Sorry... I... I just screwed up badly with Lily and Lamden and... and I'm just afraid you will stop being a friend, too... I mean, I like you and that's a fact but... but I just don't wanna be all alone in this whole group."

[Sirus]

Harlan addressed the junk weapon shop owner.

: "Want one more for your pile? I'm selling this Slim Sword of mind. It's seen better days but I figure you could at least melt it down for scrap."

: "And Ketsuki, too. You're not still sticking with this lost cause, are you?"

[Powder Miner]

Meanwhile, an abnormally non-perky Senija quietly wandered the city much as she had last time she was here, except this time they wanted to kick her out, the group was probably going to split her up, and not only had Tomik used her as a threat in a gambit she wasn't the most comfortable with, he INVITED the pirate to attack him while making her watch.

In other words, Senija was not a happy camper as she passed by Lilly... but of all the group Lilly was one of those who she had the least reason to be mad at. She sat down next to Lillian.
:"...hey Lillian."

[Ochita]

Albert sighed, and gave Laura a little hug
  "We're not gonna stop being friends, Laura. I don't know if we can be like.. Exactly what you want, but I do still want to be friends."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Lilly looked up.

"...Hey, Senija. There's room for one more."

She slid a little way across the bench to make room and returned her chin to resting on her hands.

"What's on your mind?"
