> "Let's make this quick."
> Float outside, close the door behind us after Mystia gets through, then zip our way over to Shou's Clothes.
>You float outside, close the door, and make a beeline for the clothing store next door. The rain is soft, but persistent. You're able to move quickly enough to avoid being soaked, with Mystia hot on your heels.
>The store is a two-story wooden building, home of many memories you would call fond in hindsight. The lower floor is dedicated to clothes, as many as Shou could get her hands on, and make for herself, while the upper floor serves as living quarters. For one or two people, it is probably quite comfortable. However, until the temple was finished; and while people were using the ship to store grain, it was home the entire group, and sometimes yourself while visiting. To call things cramped was an understatement. But it was a good time, once one got over having little space and scrambling to find privacy. You're certainly happy you didn't have to live there; you suspect it played a nontrivial role in Ichirin's forays into the Forest of Magic to try to understand the faeries better.
>The front door is a simple thing, and while you've not picked it's lock before, you have examined it out of idle curiosity, and found it to be pretty simple. Thankfully, the roof hangs past the walls a bit, proving some shelter from the rain.
