Robin thanks the blacksmith, handed Matilda and Cybil their new blades, and pocketed his money. "Ready to go, or want something else?" he asked his teammates.

Anik did not try to break free, instead she said, silently, so no one else could hear it:
"I think I owe you an apology. You were not really part of my plan, but well, it worked.
And since I already told you I did not tell you everything, I think I can answer you a question or two."
She did not look very scared anymore, rather somehow amused.

Cybil accepted the sword happily, strapping the scabbard to her person however it would conveniently go. [color=9f2089]"Thanks!"[/color]
[color=9f2089]"Big Guy is taking care of all the essentials, and I can't really think of anything else. Then again I've never even gone camping, so maybe someone else can think of something we'd need."[/color]

Timea let out a bemused "hmm", then, began moving up the stairs, moving out of the temple. She still held on to Anik's shoulder, pushing her along in front of herself, though not very forcefully. "Let's go for a walk. I'm sure you can talk on the way", she commented, speaking at normal level.
"Do tell why you thought it was necessary to slander me. I'm dying to hear."

[color=66CCFF]"I need nothing in the way of weaponry or supplies."[/color] Aquamarine said smugly.
"Well, the guards would not let me meet Califorth otherwise. And since you were there ...
well, I can hold grudges. You're too ignorant for your own good.
... also it could not harm to have more eyes watching you. You did not tell me the truth, saying you would not meddle in human affairs and then coming right here, to Calibeth City."

Robin nodded to Cybil, and was about to head out when he spotted Shara wandering through the marketplace. He waved.
Matilda simply held the scabbard in her free hand, lacking anywhere to attach it. [color=006d5b]"I don't need anything else."[/color] she said.
You raise your hand in greeting, then head over. After saying hello, you tell them that you asked around at the inn, and apparently you'll have to go through a desert of unknown length. Seeing as there probably wont be much food, and even less water, you should bring a lot of that. You then add that you'll probably need a few more articles of clothing, and probably a hat to shield from the sun. You feel your cheeks turning slightly red in embarrassment at adding that, and you silently curse your lack of money.
OoC: Actually, @TrilbyWill: I've realised a very vital question about this world: How's the underwear situation?

"Thanks. Perhaps some shelter too. A few light tents maybe." He gestured to the blacksmith. "Anything you want from here?" He started examining her.
"Don't be presumptuous, girl. You don't know a thing about me", Timea was quick to respond with a tone that was largely dismissive, but carried some venom.
"... This turn of events, it's almost amusing. Since this morning, I was starting to doubt myself. "Have I been to harsh?", I wondered. Maybe I should have been more patient. I try and set a good example that someone might follow, and I almost believed I failed." Pausing momentarily, Timea let out a soft scoff, then continued. "And then you did this. Do forgive me if I won't change my opinion on you in the slightest. If I was "ignorant" before, I have just been enlightened."
Pushing Anik along, Timea moved out of the stairwell, and began heading out of the temple. "As for your unfounded concerns; I'll have you know I came here for the farmlands. I wanted to know about the lands, and how to start fire with tools. Farms would be a good place to ask. When I asked about the lands, I was told to go into the city. A conversation later, and I decided to learn of the local gods, so here I am."

OOC: Well, it exists. Primarily in the form of loincloths.
[color=006d5b]"That might help."[/color] Matilda replied.

"I would not have done this if I wanted to change your perception of me. But my perception of you, well, it won't change as well. How can a person so old and so full of hatred be any good?" Anik said, while stumbling and hurting her legs a few times, not being able to use her hearing to "see" in time.
"You are not interested in meeting a person with a heart of pure justice, but you want to leech of the land like some animal. Why do gods interest you, anyways? I thought you believed them to be mere phantasms, made out of powerful beings and misguided followers?"
She tried to push Timeas hand off her shoulder.

OoC: @Trilby: Right-o.
As Robin looks at you, you get the feeling of a more thorough search than merely visually. It is only vague, pressing in the back of your mind but it stumbles you up slightly, and you reply; [color=0066cc]"Right, yes. And no, I'm indebted enough as is."[/color]
Robin would find that Shara's main skills in combat were not on the ground, but in the skies, as an excellent pilot. And on the ground, she was most skilled with a blaster, not that he'd know what that was. She had some skill in hand-to-hand, and could apply those techniques to most light weapons, though not with fantastic results. It seemed like unifying part of her skill was gone, lowering her effectiveness in general, and in melee more significantly as she had less inherent skill of that.

When ever Anik stumbled, Timea stopped pushing her along for a moment, so to not let her tumble down the stairs, but continued pushing her along the moment Anik regained her balance.
At Anik's response, Timea stopped walking, and laughed. "Oh, girl. If I'm a leech for simply eating, do never have another meal again, yourself. The cycle of life sustains of all, whether one chooses to treat it with respect or not."
Anik would fail to push Timea's hand off her shoulder, the grip staying firm. Anik would feel she was pushing against something incredibly dense, as the flesh of the hand didn't give way at all. Timea's response to trying to shove her hand away was to pull Anik in closer to herself. "Now, how can I be good, you ask? Do consider this, on my world, I was done great grief. At the hands of people like yourself. I could have responded by pre-emptively killing every human I came across. I did not. Even as they spread out over the years, raping the land for selfish gain, I never lashed out and spread ruin as they did to others. Because I understand the gravity that comes with taking a life." After saying this, Timea pushed Anik back to an arms length, and headed out of the temple. "But that doesn't matter to you, does it? "Good" is simply saying "things I like". And I differ to much for you to ever meet that criteria."
Once outside of the temple, Timea looked around while sniffing the air. "As for the gods, you're right on that. But even if I don't believe in divinity, the effect these beings have on the land can't be dismissed. So, it would do me well to learn about them."

"I insist. And I won't ask for any money back. We're a team, we need to support each other. As for your weapon, perhaps a crossbow complimented by a cestus or knife..." Robin suggested, resolving to ask about piloting and blasters later.
"Oh, right. That's sorted then. And a crossbow is a bow that can be fired with one hand. It takes time to reload, but I figure it would be a good fit for someone so proficient with ranged weaponry." Robin explained.
