As Kire described the marriages Amria had, Ruli refrained from glancing at her, though a shadow wandered over his face, led by a memory. "We have the same." He answered, grateful that the botanist emerged shortly after and cut off further trip down memory lane. 
She offered them instructions, which Ruli glanced over after recalling Kire couldn't read their text. It seemed to make sense. Anything he didn't grasp could be answered elsewhere. Though certainly not by Bolym. If no one else, Sid. She'd taken up herbology as a past time for medicinal plants. 

"It was a good effort." He offered, trying to be somewhat polite as they slipped back outside. He redirected his feet toward the booths for squid when Kire snuck in another question about royal weddings. He sighed, trying not to visible grumble. "Invited to one." He admitted. "Didn't go. No shoes, no service deal." He lied in jest. "Ysaryn gave me her coin again, if you want. Unless you want this to be a gift from you." Ruli glanced at her again as they approached the merchant stall boasting a wide variety of fish, squid, octopus, and even something round and spiky buried in chunks of ice. 
Completely fascinated by both the shapes of the sea critters and the ice, Ruli watched as Kire, who knew better than he which was best, picked out a selection and paid. 

"Tools, you said." Ruli reminded her. "Maybe if we purchase another ax you won't cut down trees with your bare hands anymore."
