She prefers the decorations in their house she thinks (although she eyes the little ceramic figurines thoughtfully). She stays close to Daisy and sits down beside her, shuffling the chair slightly closer.

"After breakfast we'll go to the hardware store, and you can pick out furnishings while they're loading up the building supplies. We'll have some time afterward before it's cool enough to go home; we can spend it at the library or come back here, whichever you'd like."

"I'd like to see the library," she says, visibly brightening at the idea.

"All right," she grins. "I'm sure you'll like it. And we won't have very much room, but you can bring a few things home."

Breakfast is served: a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with a side of hash browns, mildly spiced, and peach juice; Daisy asks RB for a glass of milk, too, in case the juice is too sweet for her.

"Thank you," Rhoda says quietly as her food is given to her.

The juice does prove too sweet, but Rhoda also likes the actual taste. She can't finish it all, and appreciates having the milk as well. She does finish all the food though. She repeats her thanks, and glances to Daisy for a cue - should she help do the dishes, or something else?

"RB will clean up. Are you ready to go?"

She nods, back to being eager to see the town.

Out they can go, then, back onto the speeder and through the back roads to the main street. There are people around - not many, but some, in the residential part of town - and a few of them stare, but Daisy doesn't seem bothered, and anyway soon enough the houses give way to shops, and while there are more people, they seem to find the pair less interesting.

Daisy pulls up behind the hardware store, where the loading docks are, and waits. After a minute, someone comes out, and she goes over her shopping list with him; he has a few questions, and then goes back inside to get started filling her order.

She shrinks a little against Daisy when she feels people's eyes on them. But once they leave the residential area and it gets busier, she feels, strangely, a little less obvious. She scans the streets, watching for threats, but doesn't seem hyperalert for them.

She watches and listens to Daisy's interaction with the hardware store worker, seeing what she track of in the conversation. She's a little on edge, but doesn't seem too overwhelmed.

"Do you want to go in and look around? We can go to the library first and come back later, if you want; it's just up the street."

She frowns thoughtfully. The library is appealing but...

"Go in and look around first?" she says. "Prefer to- get it out of the way?"

"Of course."

The hardware store is a good size, but most of it is taken up by basic building supplies, stone and brick and lumber. Daisy leads Rhoda away from those and toward the things that will give her space its finishing touches - tile and fixtures for the bathroom, clothes racks for the closet, paint for the walls, decorative glass for the windows. There are only a few options in each category, except for the paint that can be mixed in any color she likes, but there are also computerized catalogs available showing the much wider variety of things that can be ordered in from the city.

She looks around curiously. She's still having trouble with making decisions, but she's getting better at showing preferences. While she likes bright colours, she wouldn't want as much of it. She also doesn't immediately consider the catalogs - what's here will be fine, and it's less inconvenient.

Daisy collects one of each of the plainer options for the bathroom fixtures and clothes racks, and flags down an employee to load them on the carts with the rest of the things.

There are a couple of bright options available among the tiles: there's a lime green hexagon set that Daisy judges as enough to cover half the space, or a glittery sky blue, similar to Pradnakt's bathroom, that could cover the whole thing, or a small collection of sunny yellow tiles that could accent one of the other options, along with more sedate black and white and brown and navy tiles, and a fancy copper set. For window glass, they have small quantities of all the primary colors, plus larger amounts of clear and frosted glass.

Daisy points out that they can also get some cloth, from the general store, to upholster the sitting nook in or make curtains for the windows, if she'd like either of those; seeing the options there might help her decide what she wants among her choices here.

The copper set have caught her attention. (They remind her a little of some of the piping of the engines of Ma'am's ship, although cleaner.)

"Oh- that's a good idea?" she agrees to the suggestion of looking at the things in the general store.

The general store is a bit larger, and similarly divided into sections - racks of clothes, mens' and womens' and childrens', aisles of kitchenware and writing supplies and electronics and discs of books and music and programs for datapads; again, there's not too much of any one thing, in favor of a wider variety of types of things.

The cloth is near the back, and Daisy points out which section is suitable for upholstery and which would make good curtains, and that there's a computer terminal nearby where she can look at more options that can be ordered in. For upholstery, her choices are navy blue with a subtle diamond pattern, gold with red swirls and an interesting texture, plain off-white, and a cheery yellow with regularly-spaced black dots; there are more options for curtains, but Daisy picks out a bolt of navy blue and white striped fabric before she has much chance to look at them. "I think the copper tiles you were looking at would go well with the navy and white, what do you think? We could use those colors in the whole room, if you want."

She thinks for a moment, and then nods. "That sounds good," she agrees. "The navy upholstery material as well?"

"Mmhmm. And we can see if they have any copper embroidery thread or fabric to order in, I expect Pradnakt will be want to give it a personal touch."

Rhoda's still for a moment and then smiles. "I- I'd like that," she agrees with a nod.

"All right. Do you want to look at anything else while we're here?"

She thinks for a second, glances around, and then slowly shakes her head. (She would, a little, like to find something for Pradnakt, but isn't sure enough she could find something Pradnakt would like.)

"No, thank you," she decides quietly.

"All right. Thread is just in the next aisle over, we can check there before we put our order in." She leads the way: they don't have copper thread, but they do have some metallic blue, which she takes. Next she goes to one of the consoles, where she walks Rhoda through searching for what they want; it's possible, though not easy, with her limited grasp of the language, and soon they have the fabric and thread ordered.

She's attentive as Daisy walks her through it, trying to follow and use the context to try and pick up more of the words.

And then once they're done, they can pick up the fabric and head up front to check out. Daisy takes a different path this time, past baby supplies, toys, cleaning supplies, and a large selection of food. (She keeps an eye on Rhoda; if it seems like she wants to stop and look at anything, she will.)

Her attention does get drawn to the toys, although she does attempt to hide it.
