The boy's face lights up with obvious delight as the other man accepts his idea. The server takes one look at the bright smile and rolls his eyes before walking off to get Amano his usual without being asked for it. [i]'I can't believe it! He actually accepted the idea, this is great! He even almost looks a bit pleased I think'[/i] His smile only grows wider at the prospect of travel. He's always wanted to see more of the world, and this seems to be his chance. [i]'Find something no one else has. That sounds hard, but it also sounds like a lot of fun. I know that's prolly not on his mind for this at the moment, but I hope we can have fun together. It's almost like I have a friend. . .'[/i] His thoughts trail off and he gets a thoughtful look on his face as he goes over funding options.

His father has always provided his children with an allowance once a month, and Amano's wish to travel extended to saving a little bit from each one so that he may be able to afford it if and when he decides to leave. [i]'I get my allowance in two days, and if I add all of it tot he travel fund we should have more and enough to get started. I guess I could take some stuff with to sell as we travel. I have some small expensive items I have received as gifts over the years and some are local specialties, so they would fetch higher prices in other towns. . . .'[/i] His smile returns and he looks up at his new companion. He flushes ever so slightly as he recalls thinking of him as a friend but shakes it off quickly. 

[i]'To him I am a job, and friendship should go both ways. I know it's naïve, but. . .'[/i] With a cough he nods. “Yes, I have enough for some traveling, and some items that will fetch a decent amount of cash in other towns. They are small so I can carry them easily.” He looks down at his arms as the server comes back and drops off a rather fragrant spiced tea. When he leaves Amano scoops up the cup and takes a long sip before setting it down on the saucer again. “Something nobody else has, huh? I wonder where we should start looking. . .” He ducks his head a bit and gives Illiendi a sheepish look. “But I suppose that's where you come in. I can't start looking without some idea what to look for, and you're the one with more experience here, heh. . .”
