Cassius whispered back from beyond his veil. "The most insane poets have a point. Others just need the insight to understand... He will be fine. No one's seen his true form except me... and..." Cassius brushed his knuckles on Ritsu's abs. "Yeah... He will be fine. Just be careful, and he will too. He reacts to everything... Kinda like you. If anything, I'd argue he is more sane than most." Cassius nodded.
For the time being, the others should try to avoid causing trouble, Cassius however decided to make himself scarce with the Princess.
The City of Treno was quite layered and had a massive structure that divided the city into what could only be described as tiers. The nobles lived in the upper city, where the most unfortunate lived in the slums -- that, and unsavory types... yet in the center, off in the distance, there was two areas that made Treno distinct aside from it's perpetual night-line, aside from the crime rate... and the strange amalgamation of beauty, and depravity. It was it's Tetra Master stadium. But highest above the city was the auction house... There was a gaze that everyone could seem to feel there, yet, no one wanted to dare match it's gaze. To the right in the upper tier was a merchant that sold gear, supplies, as well cage fights with monsters -- it was also a trap for thieves.
Yet, distinctively to the upmost left, was Dr.Tot's tower. A well known scholar and physician. What he could be up to is for others to find out, that is if they wished it.
Monica sighed as she looked to Hitori, Ritsu, and Wylde. "Maybe we could go shopping while the others do their own th- what the hell?" She blinked as she saw a swarm of doves pass by -- probably to the old Bird woman's estate...
"Right... Shopping... It would be practical to be timely as we can, seeing as... Our friends are off to heaven knows where in the high town... But, alchemist supplies would be nice to have... Maybe a new Scythe for others. Or a fancy set of sabers for the beautiful stage performers? But, we can also see about the gate passes." Monica raised a point that the others should follow on.
Meanwhile, at the Auction house, Cassius swayed in, others saw him as a nice fitting dancer... even if the race was questionable.
What was on display was a few boring set of rings... The Faerie rings. They were going once... twice...
"2200 Gil." Garnet raised her hand. The Snobbish looking participants wondered why a Maiden of Tapestra was bidding... But she went uncontested, and received her rings after a small transaction.
Cassius then saw a very... strange vintage spear... It had quite the price, but it was something he could easily acquire. It had a regality about it, while also looking occult with it's markings, an Amethyst type gem, a large one was imbued with it. There were wraps around the spear made of silver to the black rod that acted as a body; the curves around it... It was so foreign, but he could feel it's power emanating. He must have it.
The starting bid was 4000 gil... Cassius walked away with it, spending 7000 gil.
As the duo walked out, Garnet looked at the spear... What made Cassius want it so badly?
"Quite the eye you have there. But might I ask what made you inclined for such a weapon?" The Princess asked her escort.
"Simple. I don't think others understand who... or what this spear belonged to... rather.... whom... They."
Garnet blinked. She tilted her head taking a look, it was like a few were keeping an eye on her... Yet there was nothing to see.
She finally broke the silence. "Who could it belong to?"
Cassius answered. "The Morrigan."
It was just then a Raven manifested, the spear seeming to break into a strand of feathers that the wind seemed to blow away, yet on his shoulder, the raven sat.
"Hulllooo there." It said in a thick accent not native to their land, the presence however seemed not threatening. Cassius Acquired a new Familiar as it seemed.
