Well, doing ballet practice without the right clothes hadn't been easy. The long skirt and apron of her borrowed clothing didn't lend itself very well to dance. The least she could do was to do some stretches before eating breakfast, hoping that'd be enough until she could find some way of doing it more efficiently.

Fakir's plan sounded pretty good, since he needed new things too. Ahiru didn't go shopping very often in Kinkan Town, since she didn't have very much money, so shopping in Paixao with Fakir sounded fun Even if she still felt awkward about spending money. Still, he'd repeatedly assured her that it was okay to spend as much as they needed, since they could just pluck the money off the plants. (Even if the plants weren't "alive," Ahiru still felt bad every time she picked off more leaves.)

Now, all they needed to do was find a store!

At the knock upon her door, Ahiru glanced up from her journal and nodded. "Just a minute!"

She clicked her journal shut and slipped it into her apron (she was not going to lose it!) before scurrying across the room to grab her shoes. Shoes on and journal intact, she rushed to the door with a broad smile on her face. "Ready!"
