Izzy held her outfit up, Gwydion loked at it then commented "Good choice, that will work well. You might aswell find another outfit aswell, you can't were that all the time your here."
"Thanks." Isabell said happily before wandering back to find something else, a knee-lengthed white and dark blue/purple striped skirt caught her eye. It was quite puffy and Izzy thought it was rather pretty. She found a long-sleeved white top to go with it and some purple 'tights' to go under it. One of the sales people who worked at the shop had pointed them out. When she got back Seri had found a new outfit aswell. Gwydion led them to a calm queue where they waited until a little counter was free. There was a person at each little counter with a wierd box machine. They held each item against a little beeping device until it made a little beep noise. Gwydion then took out a small plastic card after he was told the price in a type of money called 'pounds'. He placed the card in a little machine and typed in some numbers. Then that was it, all he was handed was a bag with the stuff in, he had given nothing to trade the clothes for which was a lot different to what Izzy was used to. "What is that?" She questioned pointing to the card as they walked away. "Its a credit card" Gwydion explained, "It is connected to my bank account where I store my money, and when I type in my pin number which only I know them I can buy stuff anf the money is taken out of my bank account. I made some money from a book I wrote and some articles I have written in science magazines."
"Oh I see." Said Izzy, it was different to her village where they mostly used trading or tokens to get stuff but it made sense.
"Now we can go down to food. Or we could pick up some basic supplies first. We need some tooth paste and stuff like that."
