Hearing the compliment, the Druid beamed with happiness as she held onto his arm and started walking. They had stopped by a stand that made staves, Nepta loved her staff, she really did, but she could feel that it was ready to settle down into a tree. The small Druid turned in her old staff, and became connected to a simple shepherd's staff, though the larger hook curved back in making a smaller hook to hang things. The couple also found things for Marvin as well. One was a book on Alchemy, at the insistence of his wife due to it being one of the thing she was proficient in, another item was new clothes, he went for simple and got clothes similar to what he was already wearing but more vibrant and came with a larger satchel, he was slightly surprised to find paper, but his wife just explained that the paper was made from dead trees, the last item he got was a small knife.

The knife was about eleven inches over all, with a small cross guard. The handle was wrapped in a black leather as metal rings helped to keep it together, it's pommel was a hexagonal like shape with two metal strips making a small, flat point. The blade itself was wide, as a small fuller ran about two thirds the blade, starting from the guard, and it's scabbard was all black with silver metal at the point and opening. A small chain was located at the opening to help carry the blade when not needed. Nepta understood why he wanted the blade, if something happened, and she either was unconscious or too busy with something else, the gypsy needed someway to protect himself.

She helped him secure his new blade to under his shirt, making sure that it both wasn't going to fall and that it could be easily reached in a time of need. When they returned to the dining hall they shared a large platter of nuts and had a glass of wine, it was around ten when they returned to the old healers place, who insisted as the small Druid was still recovering. Marvin started on his letter to his family, as Nepta helped him recall some events, out right refusing to have him describe others, like the warrior women. As he finished, the young healer had slipped out of her clothes into a simple nightgown she took when her husband wasn't looking.

It was a simple gown, only reaching a bit past her knees, though unlike her dress, it was an earth brown color and had thin straps. The gypsy only thought in made her more beautiful as it put more attention to her face, while the dress pulled his attention to her hair, "Come Darlin', I need...my Oak's warmth." yup, she was teasing him again. So in turn he took off both of his new shirts as he climbed into the bed, pulling her lightly into his chest. Nepta's red face and dazed look of content was all he needed to know he won this round of teasing, so he pulled the blankets back up and blew out the candle. Marvin two, Nepta zero.
