Shen looked back at Kaoru. "The Crested Valley, huh?" He looked in front of him with a smirk. "Never heard of it." "So," he said, turning around and walking backwards so he could see Kaoru. "Where would you like to see first?"

Kaoru just barely looked at him as he said he'd never heard of the Crested. "It's a nice place," she said. "Far from here, but it's nice. The villagers are kind." She smiled for a second and then let it fade. "I guess I'd like to see some of the Vallies Stores." She would need a place to buy stuff from, for living convience while she was in the village.

Shen looked at Kaoru with a smile, still walking backwards. "The stores, huh? Alright then, just follow me," he said, spinning on his heel so that he wasn't facing her anymore. After a few minutes, they were right in the middle of the shopping district of the Stealth. "Alright," he said, waving his hand towards a line-up of shops. "Mostly these here are for food and other necessities. Down the lane over here," he said motioning to more shops down the street from them. "You'll find some weapon shops in case you ever run low on supplies. The next street over, you'll find things like clothes, jewelry, pottery, plates, stuff like that." He turned to look at her. "Is there anything you needed to get while we're here? Or anything you'd like to get?"

Kaoru followed with a spark of curiosity. She was finally getting to see the village with her own tour guide. Following quietly she looked at all the stores. She'd come back and visit each one without Shen though, she didn't want to hold him up. As he asked her if she needed or wanted anything from here, she shook her head no. "Not yet," she said. "Can you show me to the hotels please," she asked. She was gonna stay a few nights.

Shen looked at Kaoru and nodded as she asked him about the hotels. "Absolutely," he said as he started walking. "You know," he said, looking over his shoulder at her. "You really don't have to be so polite." He looked down the street and pointed to a building. "Here's one, this one's about a three and a half star, its a nice place, decent prices. Then there's the one next to it. That ones really nice, but a bit pricey. They built these right next to the shopping district as some kind of deal with the store owners," he said with a small laugh.
