[b]NEMESIS & CEPHEUS[/b]
Before they all left, Nemesis noticed an annoyed looking Cepheus approaching them, and concerningly pale. But clutched in his hands was an empty bag and Nemesis thought it was perfect for stashing their stolen goods! "Ooooh, just what I needed, thanks!" she gleefully snatched the bag from Cepheus's hand, earning an exasperated look from the man. "And weren't you supposed to be with Jecht? We just saw him run off the ship."

Cepheus rolled his eyes at her question. "What could you possibly want that bag for? That was supposed to be for collecting trash off the floor," he drawled, but all he received was a laugh and 'just throw the debris in the ocean!' from her. "But whatever. And you will not believe how much Jecht was whining back at his room, I had to listen to that while fixing his bandages. Then he insisted he was healed enough now and yelled at me when I insisted he stay, then he ran off." he complained, but Nemesis nodded in understanding. She wouldn't be able to stop angry Jecht from leaving either.

"We're going to steal little Tori some new clothes! We're getting supplies for the ship too. So this bag is perfect to stash the loot in. Wanna come with us?" she asked, and Cepheus shrugged before looking at Tori who was hidden behind Nemesis for some reason, making him wonder if Jecht had scared him again. He gave the child a reassuring smile. 

"Alright, I'll come along." he agreed, worried about Protettore getting caught up in all of this but if he was going to be a long time guest on the ship then he needed multiple sets of clothes. "And besides, Jecht didn't bring any money with him...we'll have to bring him some so he doesn't cause a scene at whatever bar he runs off to. The last thing that needs to happen is him getting into a fight and aggravating his injuries." he pointed out, cringing at the thought of his friend getting into worse trouble. "What is the currency, anyways?" he asked, puzzled. When they actually purchased things legally instead of stealing them Jecht usually took care of the finances, so Cepheus barely had any idea of the different currencies of all the places the crew travelled to.

"I don't know, but who cares we can just steal some money, no big deal!" said Nemesis.

[b]CHARLIE[/b]
Their encouragement did not completely lift his spirits, or terror of Jecht's threat, but it was enough to at least make Charlie feel more at ease. "Right..." he mumbled, praying that they were right. As he stepped off the ship with them, Charlie looked towards the others to lead the way.

"Hmm, let's go...that way! There's bound to be plenty of pants for little Tori there." he heard Nemesis as she pointed in a seemingly random direction, until Charlie noticed a few large buildings. Hopefully, one of them would be a carpenter they could steal from otherwise Charlie might as well prepare for his journey to the underworld. 

"Okay, listen up little Tori, here are some tips to keep in mind." he heard Nemesis enthusiastically explain to the child, who Cepheus was currently holding by the hand, causing Charlie to feel pity for the innocent child the crew would no doubt end up corrupting, "Be aware of your surroundings! Keep track of any noises and move carefully so you don't make sound bumping into something, we wouldn't want you from getting caught. But don't worry, Cepheus here can smell and listen to everything in the house when he goes dog. And normally, we'd scout out the area beforehand, but we don't really have time for that right now so...Oh well! And walk carefully, breathe slowly through your nose...hm...what else?"

Charlie sighed at her advice, which Nemesis seemed to be thinking and blurting out at random in no particular order. "Um...Nemesis...you're telling him to do all of those things, but you haven't explained how to do it..." he pointed out hesitantly, not wanting to offend her or anything. Thankfully, Nemesis didn't seemed bothered by his intrusion to the conversation.

"Oh, right! Sorry Tori, I'm not the best at this. Jecht is the one who explained this all to me, he's a pretty good teacher haha! How did he say it...?" she wondered to herself, pausing a moment to recall the captain's wisdom. "Keep your arms close to your side so you don't accidently knock anything down when you move through the house. And if you need to jump, when you land try to be crouched in a balanced position. If you want to move quietly, walking in a slightly crouched position engages all of your muscles. That lightens the amount of force that hits the ground when you make contact with the ground. And you have to distribute your weight evenly when you walk. Walking heel to toe helps, too! He was a very harsh teacher though and expected me to learn to walk silently...I had to walk across the floor, and every time he heard me take a step, he would send a bolt of lightning at me! It's funny now, but I was terrified at the time!" she continued explaining to the child, but at this point Charlie was tuning her out. He shivered as he remembered his own torturous training with Jecht.
