Gale's ears twitched and perked up when he heard a familiar voice calling his name. It snapped him out of his thoughts as he'd been mulling over his fortune, peeking his head from around the other side of the gate. Ting and Fio seemed to be strutting along, having finished their shopping. Gale gave them a wave and moved towards the duo to meet them halfway.

[color=6CB0FF]"How did the shopping go, you two?"[/color] he'd ask them, confirming their spoils. Four oran berries for the three of them should be sufficient for the road ahead, given Fio didn't seem to eat at all. Gale wondered if they could get the juice out of one of them, though; that way Fio could enjoy one too. He'd make sure to keep a note of that in the back of his mind.

One of Gale's ears twitched as he remembered something. [color=6CB0FF]"Oh... you two would want to know about the fortune, right?"[/color] he'd ask, then assumed his usual pondering stance. [color=6CB0FF]"If I remember... she said we'd face some kind of roadblock. Something without a straightforward answer. We have to focus on the... right thing?"[/color] he rattled off. Was that actually what the fortune was? Gale had been so preoccupied by the idea of an obstacle that he'd already forgotten Pandora's advice, but... they should be fine, right?

[color=6CB0FF]"Either way, I think we should get going. I think I passed by the orchards on my way to Mandalay, but my memory is a bit fuzzy. Do either of you know the right direction? I think I can take you two there if I'm put on the right track."[/color]
