It's been a bit of a long day, but rather relievingly, a long day of the boring kind. Boring means nobody got shot at by a Neuroi today, so she'll take it and maybe even call it a good day.
There's card games every day at six, with whoever's not too busy to attend. She changes out of her itchy uniform into more ordinary clothes and makes her way to the breakroom.
...This is not the breakroom. This is a bar.

She goes back to reading books from the future loaned from Bar, asking to purchase a few more strange tools once in a while. And asks for 'some kind of tea, not sweet'.
After a while, "I'd feel better if I bought something for you other than 'be a good deeds target'. Even if it's just buying something."

"If you really want to, there are some ingredients for spells that are inconvenient to get for reasons other than expense? I don't want to cut into your useful souvenir budget too much."

"I'm cutting very deep into my bank account on the assumption that I'll be able to make most of it back through clever useful-souvenir-exploitation. Another two hundred Svalten won't make that much of a difference. I'm spending at least ten thousand. Saving up several years of combat pay pays off if you need money suddenly."

Gren relaxes some now that the helpful magician has been hired and isn't just being helpful because.
"Bar, I think I'm good on stuff for now. Reading about tech I don't particularly understand yet is only interesting for so long. What have you got in interesting otherworldly fiction? Something lighthearted, an adventure story."

When Bella is done, Gren collects the protection amulets. She tests the door again, and it stays put this time!
She heaves up a large sled holding far too much stuff for an ordinary human to comfortably lift and walks toward the door. "Perhaps we'll both find this place again some day. Good fortune to you!"
