Together, Two, Four and I roam the local area. The two sisters were overwhelmed by the sights. After all, they had never seen a world like this before. Often, they'd ask questions about a lot of things like how the roads work or how the cars function without horses to pull them and more. I did my best to answer all of their questions, but there was only so much I could say. 

After some time, we finally arrived at the market. And their jaws dropped even lower. 

Two + Four: Whoa...! 

Mutasim: Cmon. Once we buy food to replace everything Five ate, we can have a browse for anything else. Clothes, jewellery, anything you might wanna get. 

Four: Really?! 

I nod. 

Mutasim: Yes, really. And I'm trusting you ladies to be okay in this kind of public space. 

Two: Won't let you down! 

She says with a little giggle. I chuckle lightly and lead them to a food store and we have a browse of all the food. 

Four: Wow... There's so much here! 

Two: And all this food I've not even heard of! I mean, what are "pizzas"? 

Four: I was wondering what "burgers" are. 

Mutasim: Tonight, I'll order some pizza for dinner. That is, if Five doesn't end up hogging it all to herself. 

Four: What do you mean "order pizza"? 

Mutasim: I'll explain it at home. For now, let's just focus on refilling my kitchen's cupboards. 

I head over to the bakery section and pick up a few packs of bread. I check the expiration date and see its fine, putting them in the cart. 

Two: What is this cart thing for? 

Mutasim: You don't expect me to carry all the shopping with my bare hands, do you? 

Two: Well we can help if you'd like. It'd feel wrong to tag along and let you do all the lifting. 

Four: Yeah! Same here! 

I smile at the duo. 

Mutasim: Well, I appreciate the offer, but you can help me once I pay for this. It'll be easier to carry once this stuff is all in bags. 

They smile and nod in agreement. We make a few laps around the store to double check if we needed anything else. By the end of our exploration of this store, the cart was packed with various food items. We approach the till and have the worker scan all the food. Once it was all scanned, I paid the full amount and asked for bags. Two and Four helped me bag the items and we left the store. 

Two: That much for food? That's horrible! 

Mutasim: Yeah. Economy's not doing too well in this day and age. And prices only get higher and higher. 

Four: And if Five keeps eating all the food and you need to keep buying more...

Two: It's going to run you into the ground. 

Mutasim: I'll manage. Somehow. Anyway, you girls want anything else? Wanna look at clothes or something else? 

Two: I mean... I'd like to look at clothes, but if it means it costs you more than what you've had to pay for today, I'd rather not. 

Mutasim: Thanks for the consideration Two, but it's fine. Really. Do you wanna go or not? 

Two and Four share a quick glance and turn back to me.
