"Can I help you?" An elderly Kumitsune asked as she walks towards them. She wears an armored vest over her pink robes with the hood covering her head.

"Do you have anything small that wouldn't be too destructive in this little lady's hands here that you could recommend?" Brad asked, motioning to Ashleigh who was nearly bouncing on the spot in excitement.

The Kumitsune taps her nose as she studies Ashleigh, feeling like she was piercing into her soul and rumaging around for signs of knowledge involving the use of spiritual energy.
"Not too destructive...." she mutters as she heads to one of the barrels full of toy-shaped weapons and pulling out a pole dart. One side had a blade crooked to the shape of a lightning bolt while the blade on the other side of the pole is shaped like a tornado.
"How is this?" she asked.

"That's awesome," Ashleigh claimed, checking it out.
"How much is it?" Brad asked.

"From where you came from, I'd say it would be about 1000 of your currency."

Brad just blinked, not having that much himself.
"Silly Brad, this is why you should horde your monies in case there's something you find that you really want," Ashleigh said, pulling out her own wallet which seemed to be stuffed full to pay for the pole dart.
"...Where'd you get all that?" Brad asked, eying her.
"Eh...uhm... like I said, hording monies," Ashleigh said a bit nervously.

The Kumitsune accepts the money with a bow, "Thank you very much."
She hands Ashleigh the dart.

Ashleigh put the wallet away, delightedly taking it.
"Alright, you got what you want, we should probably be heading back now," Brad sighed.
"Nuh-uh, there are more places to check out and we ain't going back until I've seen it all," Ashleigh said, taking off before he could get another word in.
"...Damien really shouldn't have let her get those sweets," Brad grumbled, catching up to her and grabbing her up to sling over his shoulder.
"Hey! Hey, you put me down or else!" Ashleigh complained.
"Don't think so you little nut-job," Brad teased her, "I said we're heading back and that's that."
Ashleigh puffed her cheeks out slightly before narrowing her eyes, "You better put me down or you'll regret it."
"Sure sure," Brad said offhandedly, turning to start back.
Ashleigh maneuvered herself to catch him across the back of the head with a blunt side of the dart, causing him to curse and stumble as he dropped her to rub the back of his head. Ashleigh picked herself up from the ground and dusted herself off, taking off at a full out sprint before he could grab her again.

There are still fortune stands and training dojos within the misty town. Where she goes next is a huge decision.

Ashleigh paused by one of the fortune stands curiously, wondering if they were anything like the one's she'd seen on earth before.

It looks like a generic gypsy tent, with a wooden table holding a crystal ball in the center.
A mysterious Kumitsune sits at the far end of the table, laying down tarot cards. She wears a white robe with light blue trimmings, has a black wig, and appears to be blind. She seems a bit different from the other Kumitsunes in that her fur is white, a rare trait considering most of them are anything but that color.

Ashleigh wandered over, quite intrigued.

"Have a seat," the Kumitsune said. Though she appears to be blind, as her eyes are forever closed, she can somehow tell who is coming in.

Ashleigh seat herself down, feeling quite curious about this Kumitsune.

The Kumitsune begins running her paws over the crystal ball as it glows showing her everything about Ashleigh.
