"Those candles, of course. Probably other things and certainly worth a look." Zee looked the shop over. It seemed to be selling some sort of bath products or perfumes as well. There were critters nesting in the back rooms, but it felt more like rats than anything very dangerous. He strengthened his aura protections and lead the way inside.

It was about what he expected. Some of the perfumes and lotions were dried up and useless, but some had survived. Bars of scented soaps, the candles, loofahs... Zee walked through the shop, gathering things that seemed in good enough shape, holding them in his arms for the moment and keeping an eye out for bags that hadn't decayed too much. "Grab things that still look good. It'll make things more civilized, be useful, and well, we can use them as gifts to the delegates or something. I think women like these sorts of things."

Zee picked up some lipgloss and nail polish near the counter and thought of the times he had crossdressed. "And maybe some men. Who knows."

Richie lifted an eyebrow at the place, eventually letting out a sigh and shaking his head.

"Sorry, count me out. I had an ex who was in to all this crap. That's not a place I'd like to revisit. Want me to leave Pritz with you guys? I can find my way back to the fountain alone."

Sam looked back over his shoulder as he was about to follow Zee into the store. "Hey, I can understand that one. I just don't want to go back empty-handed, eh?" He looked in the store. "And Zee is right. Some of this stuff will make the ladies most happy."

He laughed. "Heck, if it means everyone can get cleaner and smell better, it'll make me happy." His grin lit up his face. "But if you really need to head back, take Pritz with you. I don't want to worry about you being alone. Zee and I can handle just about anything out here."

He reached out and scritched Pritz's ears. "Not that I don't enjoy your company, honey. But you gotta help keep your master safe, eh?"

They were not so far from the fountain and Richard had proven himself capable of defending himself and walking the city in relative safety. It was as if he was used to walking ruined cities with the constant threat of danger, not completely unlikely. Zee hardly knew anything about the man. Or most of the people he was treating as comrades. Funny thing, necessity, to drive together strangers as if they were the best of friends

Pritz whined softly, licking Flicker's hand. She was reluctant to leave them, but it was obvious she understood that she had to take care of Richie. Leaving Flicker, she went to Richie's side, nudging him slightly with her head and waiting for him.

"Yeah, probably. I'll go lend a hand there. Be careful, you two."

A wave and a soft, slightly sad sounding chuckle, and he headed away from the shop, Pritz following closely behind him.
