The sun rose again, and a new day began brilliantly, illuminating all the busy streets of the Duchy. Strax and Samira walked hand in hand, side by side, enjoying the fresh air as they ventured through the city.
"Why do you think Xenovia canceled her training today?" Samira asked as she looked at the streets filled with merchants, artisans, and adventurers of all kinds.
"I don't know, she's not someone who cancels commitments so easily," Strax said, observing the diversity of people and goods that truly captivated him.
"What exactly are we doing here? And why did I come with you? I thought you'd want to spend time with Beatrice," Samira said, looking at a merchant selling small jade vases. "We need some training tools, and you have more experience than I do in shopping and battles, so it's the perfect task for you, Little Fire," Strax said, smiling. She pouted slightly, "Hmph! Alright. And we need to get some things for the house, it still feels a bit empty," she huffed.
