Keefe glittered to the human city that the facet had taken him to. He peered around him.
This was really happening. He was in the Forbidden Cities. All on his own. He shuttered at the thought.

But now that he was really here, he realized how badly his clothes were standing out.

His cape and jerkin was extremely overdressed compared to what the humans around him were milling about in.

A few of them had stopped to stare at him. The humans were dressed in just plain shirts and denim pants.

He felt extremely self conscious now. Where were places that sold clothes?

He walked down the streets, trying do find some sort of clue of what hus plan was supposed to be now.

He finally saw through one of the windows some clothes. He wandered in through the door.

He gazed at the different options. He picked up a plain burnt orange shirt. He saw the denim pants the humans were wearing.

He went into the back room to try it on. The pants were stiff and so unlike the ones back home. They restricted movement in a way he didn't like.

Keefe wandered back out to find something more comfortable. He read the tag on the pants. 'Low rise skinny jeans.'

Yeah screw that.

He browsed the aisles until he got, to what the tag read, as 'leggings'.

He tried them on in the back. Much more comfortable.

He went to the register to pay. When the worker asked for money he pulled a gemstone from his mom's jewelry out from his pocket.

The cashier tilted her head. "Um... sir, is that real?"

Keefe nodded, not trusting hus voice.

"We... can't accept that as currency."

Keefe made a face as to say,'Why not?'

"I can't tell if this is real," the cashier insisted. "I can't accept this."

Someone wasn't very trusting. How come?

He waved it away when she tried to give in back. He shook his head and gave it back.

Keefe started to walk out the door. The cashier kept trying to figure out what was happening.

"Sir. Sir! Where are you going? You can't pay with this."

Keefe kept walking.
