She's not going to buy anything she doesn't need but it's kind of a delightful atmosphere anyway. 

Hagan ignores everything and leads her into a shop with a narrow entrance between two other shops. It has a lot of shields. 

"See anything you like?"

She's gonna want to try some on. She is sort of picky about shields, mostly about the weight and how well the shape works with how she uses one. After a little while she is able to find something she likes, yeah.

"Cool." And then he sighs deeply and walks up to the vendor. 

      "She lost hers."

"She -"

      "Yeah."

"Is she any good?"

      "I hope so! Bakasy thinks so."

"He, ah, loves the eccentric, though."

      "Fifteen."

"Forty."

      "Twenty."

"With a woman carrying it? People won't take me seriously."

      "We're leaving town in ten minutes. It's a fair price."

"Forty."

      He turns to Aria. "We can try another place -"

"Thirty."

     He counts out twenty-five coins, holds them out.

"Fine."

She's gonna really enjoy destroying undead for these guys. "Thank you. And that comes out of the money for supplies?"

"Yeah. We also got two week's loan of the carpet, food, and some minor healing potions for if Fazil goes down."

"Cool. ...what's the carpet for?"

" - for flying there."

"Woah. This plane is neat."

"You guys don't have flying carpets?"

"Nope! We've been walking everywhere for months."

"Huh! Well, they're not faster than a ship but they can handle any terrain and you really need one to go adventuring in the desert, otherwise it'd be nearly impossible to carry anything back if you find it."

"Huh, that makes sense. - I think when the language spell wears off you should give me your word for 'stop', I don't have any words yet and that seems like a really important word to have if we're gonna be going out and fighting things. Don't wanna kill anything that doesn't need to be killed. I'm not sure what others it'd be good to have, but I ought to at least have that one."

"Yeah, can do. Uh, mostly we're going to be engaging monsters because it's safer and legal-er than engaging people but you should probably know the word anyway."

"Good, not a fan of killing people if we don't have to. Just don't want to end up making any mistakes that could have been avoided with about two seconds of preparation."

"Technically with people you're supposed to offer them the chance to surrender and bring them back if you can, but people are heavy and prisoners eat the whole carrying capacity of a carpet so mostly people just try to avoid getting into that situation."

"Mmm. Makes sense."

And they make their way back. 

The carpet is unrolled. It's shimmery and brightly dyed and about the height of a person and the length of two.

She's never boarded a flying carpet before, so she'll just - check to see if and how the others do that. And then ask whether they want the dog on it and whether he'll be able to keep up if he's not.

"There's room for the dog, and he probably wouldn't be able to keep up. What's his name -" 

"North. He's a good dog. Special breed that mages bred for combat and understanding speech."

"Hello," says Hagan to North. "I have an animal companion too - this is Fy -" he lifts his sleeve to reveal a snake. "And Mahdi has a familiar, but she can keep up with the carpet, she's a bird."

He barks happily and rests his head on Aria's lap.

And they can fly off. 

Outside Sothis, Osirion is desert. Endless rolling desert. The flying carpet moves fast enough to create a stiff breeze, and the adventurers mostly don't talk. Hagan watches North. Mahdi reads a book.

She watches the desert. It's not complicated, but it's very different from anything else she's seen before, and everyone'll want to hear about it back home, if she makes it home.
