 Books were neat, but he couldn't stay in the bookstore much longer. Omori had grabbed one and quietly took a seat in one corner, paying little mind to his surroundings. The shopkeeper did ask about him buying a book, but he waved him off, explaning that he was just looking around. When he eventually got bored of staying in one spot, the monochrome boy put the book back in it's place and went back to walking around. Luckily too, the nopon would probably get irritated at him loitering or something.

 He initally passed by the Smithy when he first entered the place, stopping to see if they had any knives he could get. Nothing really stuck out to him though, and the prices for some of them were just plain ridiculous. Collector's item or not, he's not that desperate to shell out an arm's worth of cash. And he could swear the one with the bent blade was a scam. Not a total loss though, he wouldn't want to part with his trusty knife any time soon. 

 He did pass by the sweets shop next. Omori did need some healing items, under the assumption that things like chocolate or snow cones still functioned the same to him. But then there was figuring out how many of what he should get, cheap or not.

 ...Admittedly, he took a bit too long to figure out the math of it. Like if he got a small box of donuts, would he be able to afford some chocolate bars? Or could he get a small cake? Maybe just a bag of candy?? He lightly shook his head. He'd worry about it later. Didn't have to fight any prominent enemies for how long he's been in Limsa. 

 That left getting a charm. Something to give him a better edge in battles. Aaand nothing popped out at him in the intended shop. Omori did take a moment to try on a thing or two, but they were either normal accessories, or didn't do much for him. Well, he was looking out for the prices too, obviously. So that left the cosmetics shop. 

 He was...a bit hesitant to go in. Just a little. It felt more like a shop Aubrey and Mari would check out, and he could be there to help pick stuff out for them and whatnot. Maybe here he could get them some gifts? The boy looked around for anything either of them would like. Mainly, he kept an eye out for anything in their favorite colors. Aubrey did like pink. Then something else caught his eye.

 A hairstick, made to look like a white tulip. He walked over to it and gently picked it up. He had been compared to a tulip. Omori searched his short pockets for whatever he earned through odd jobs around town, mostly spend on necessities with Headspace being gone. After flagging down the price from the shopkeeper there, turns out, he had just enough. Nothing wrong with spending a bit on yourself.

 He bought the charm and prepared to head out. But once again his curiosity drew him to something else. There was that witch again he passed by at the bookstore, along with alot of other colorful characters. Some a mishmash of something or another that while a tad confusing, it interested the young boy. ...Looks like they're splitting up, once they reached the harbor again. A portal? Maybe he could take the chance and slip by? Would have to part with Limsa for now, but he had people to look for.

 Quiet as a mouse, Omori snuck through the warp portal into Alcamoth.

 ...

 Maybe he should've thought twice about his decision.

 That's what went through Omori's head when he was dragged into a fight by the guards on the other side of the warp portal. With his rather unique color scheme, it was hard not to ignore the red eyes of galeem's influence in the poor kid. No matter how hard he'd fight back, he didn't have his friends with him. He got overwhelmed too easily. It was by stubborn luck that he didn't succumb to any wounds, letting the guards heal him with a friend heart.

 ...

 Wait what.

 Omori was given an explanation, to their actions, and the reason why what he concidered his home was lost. This thing. In the sky. Galeem. It separated him from his friends, family, himself. And if him being controled by this [i]thing[/i] was anything to go by...

 He only felt anger towards it. Whatever it was. Something was one thing, but this was a new breed of despicable.

 After a bit of talking with the guards, he was welcome to settle in and find a place to stay. With whatever money he had left, Omori ended up staying at whatever inn he could afford for the night.

 The next morning his worries weren't quelled. Again he found himself wandering through a new location, trying to keep his mind off things. But mostly to keep an eye out on any familiar faces he can prevent from getting hurt. 

 Or worse.
