Alisea led the way out of the inn and toward the market.  She set a strong pace that would give them time to do all the shopping they needed, but left enough leisure in it to speak comfortably.  It was comfortable for her, at least, and she suspected she would have the lowest agility between the three.

[color=ec008c]"What do you need to buy this morning, Reylan?"[/color] she asked as they strolled down the street.  [color=ec008c]"The first place I want to stop is a blacksmith's shop; I have some items I need to sell off.  After that we can go anywhere, as long as we visit the Action and Spell teachers at the market."[/color]

Alisea noted, not without some displeasure, that as they drew nearer to the market, they found more and more players slumped against walls or crouched in doorways.  It seemed many had still not found their resolve to press forward; indeed, some appeared to have had so little will they stayed on the street all night.  But, and Alisea could declare this definitively because she had walked this path barely twelve hours earlier, there were far fewer players than there were yesterday floating listlessly about.  Today the game would begin in earnest.
