Hikari was... possibly a little lost. But that fact did not deter her from dashing in and out of shops of a wide range of varieties. Sometimes she left empty handed; other times she added something to her growing collection of what could only be described as... trinkets. Or junk. Certainly none of it seemed particularly practical; but for some reason she seemed happy with it.

Ringo roams around the marketplace picking up some things as well for his new lodgings. He spots one of the new Imperial princesses he met before and greets here with a bow. "Konnichiwa Seppun-sama. Have you had your rice today?" He eyes the purchases that she made with some interest.

"Oh..."

She had to move some of the stuff around in order to be able to carry it more comfortably while holding a conversation.

"...Hida-san. Hello. It has been a while."

Ringo nods. "It has been. I hope the trip has been good to you." He looks back at her stuff. "Do you wish for some assistance with that Seppun-sama?" He offers.

"No no," she said, "thank you. I'll manage."

The stuff didn't exactly weigh a lot... it was just a bit awkward to hold on to it all at once.

"Are you shopping as well?"

Ringo nods at that. "I am just picking up supplies since it seems like we are going to be here for a while."

"Have you found a place to stay then?"

Something that looked like a flimsy bowl of earthenware almost dropped to the ground before she could shift some weight around to prevent the fall.

Ringo nods. "Yes, I have."

He moves closer to her to offer a hand. "Please Seppun-sama. I insist that I offer you some assistance."

He still waits for permission before he goes to lighten her load a little.

"You will need your hands for your own purchases," she returned.

"I can manage. Plus my hands are much bigger." Ringo replies back.

"Very well, if you insist then I am grateful for the assistance."

Ringo nods and gives her a hand by taking the bigger bulkier stuff. "If I may ask Seppun-sama but is all this for a residence?"

"Oh yes, I am moving into... the place with all the flowers. I believe it's where the local governor lives, yes?"

Ringo nods. "Ah... I believe that is the Floral Estates that you are speaking of. Yes, that is a rather lovely place and one fitting for someone like yourself Seppun-sama."

"I found a place as well but it is pretty shabby. I just took it because the rent is low and my projects are probably going to drain my finances."

"Projects?"

She couldn't quite picture a Hida, even one like Ringo, engaging in 'projects'.

Ringo nods. "Well there is my primary one into researching the gaijin canon technology. Aside from that I have a couple of personal ones."

"Indeed, the former could be a great boon to the empire. The personal ones I won't inquire after if they are of a private nature."

Ringo thinks about that for a moment. "Well one of them is not really that personal. I am working to try to understand the compass that the gaijin develop. I wish to make it more portable and improve upon the design. Oh... I should explain what a compass is. It is an instrument that points North."

"I know what a compass is, Hida-san."

She seemed amused by the assumption that she needed the concept explained to her. Hikari was well-read and far from lacking in the intelligence department after all, references to such a device would not have eluded her, especially not in their current environment.

"Question is, how would you improve upon it beyond simply making it smaller and lighter?"

Ringo nods. "That is a good question. Maybe someway to make it more accurate. Also make it unaffected by outside influences."
