Velu nodded in agreement with Astrid's remark as he looked over the weapons.  He still had the sword he had been wielding when he had suddenly vanished from his story, but it seemed that there might be some better weapons here that might serve him in this new quest.  He finally found a medium length sword with a blade that seemed to be made of mythril.  He was familiar with this valuable substance from his own world and knew that it was far superior to the iron blade he currently carried.  He took the new sword and slipped it into his belt in the place of his old sword, which he now placed in his pack to sell when he next had the opportunity.

With his new sword equipped, he turned to Dr. Mog.  "Do you have any idea of what sort of perils we might be facing where we're going?" he asked the moogle.  "And do you happen to have any other miscellaneous items we might need?  Potions and the like?"
