She laughs. "Hoarded money doesn't turn a profit and all that."

She's out of her suit now except the boots. "I don't have normal shoes on me."

build-yourself

"What size are you? Figuring your people used the same sizing at least..."

thinkering

"Makes sense."

build-yourself

"I can give you directions to the town hall tomorrow if you'd like."
