The woman gleefully hobbled away with Robin's costume hung over her arms.
"Well, that was odd...." Robin blatantly stated. "It worked out for us, though," Faye chuckled. The tenant strolled back to them, the costume replaced by a sack of shining gold coins. "Here you are. It was a pleasure doing business with you" Faye took the bag of coins and pulled the top open "there is only 800 gold in here," Faye accused. The tenant crossed her arms and tsked snobbily, "You spent 200 gold on those new clothes. I just subtracted it from the sale." she waved one of her hands in the air as she spoke. Robin glared at the tenant. "Alright...!" she huffed. "Thank you for your help," Robin said as she led Faye out of the store. Behind them, the tenant grinned. "Anytime..." she mumbled.
As Robin and Faye stepped out of the store and onto the busy sidewalk, Robin quickly shoved the bag of coins into her satchel. "Citys mean pickpockets. We'll have to be cautious," Robin whispered to Faye, who nodded sharply in response. They strolled down the sidewalk through crowds of people. Robin kept her hand resting on the front of her satchel to protect it. "What do we do now?" Faye questioned as they walked along. "Find someone who can't tell me how I got here and how to get back home," Robin stated. Faye glanced around at signs and storefronts to see if there was any mention of humans when she suddenly noticed a poster taped to a lone-standing poster board. "Look!" Faye called to Robin as she grabbed Robin's arm and dragged her to the board. "What is it?"
Robin asked as she stumbled behind Faye. "This!" Faye announced excitedly as she pointed to her discovery on the board. "Human specialty club... share your knowledge about humans with other researchers," Robin read the poster, and her face lit up. "Faye! This could be it!" she announced excitedly as she grabbed Faye's hands. Robin quickly pulled the poster off the board and scanned over the address. "I think we'll need to ask for directions," Robin stated. "Or we can call a taxi," Faye suggested. Robin quickly smacked the palm of her hand to her forehead. "Of course! Why didnt I think about that" Robin chuckled "you are full of good ideas today," she grinned, and Faye smiled back.
