Ki walked into the shop with a bit of a spring in her step, shopping was something that she enjoyed when she wasn’t desperate. It was more fun to shop for a sword or a kimono when you could walk away and not feel guilty, be defenseless or having to walk funny to keep slashed up clothing from revealing things it shouldn’t. But this was one of the days when Ki wanted something better but didn’t need it. She wanted a better bow so she didn’t have to get close. The nine tails was a demon up close with her Onitachi and probably would have much need for a new sword, most warriors died before they had a chance to see such a weapon.
But Ki knew better than to charge in and since she was as much Inari as Kit, she had to utilize her inherited archery skills for when charging forward with the black demon blade was stupid. And the oak bow from Inari’s childhood just wasn’t going to cut it anymore.
“Um Hi!” Ki said cheerfully, a good impression on the merchant was something that could mean the difference between getting the best bow she could get. “I really heard this place got the best deals from the fletchers and bowers. And all the best adventurers know to come here.” Her nine tails wagged in hops she could get a good deal. Hopefully the merchant wasn’t one of those ‘flattery will get you no where’ types. That thought that she might be digging her own money grave3 made the vixen a little nervous.
“I um need a hankyu short bow that a girl like me can draw, but has enough punch that I might take down some big monsters before they get their teeth on me.” Ki told what she wanted and thought about some good materials, in hopes to prove that she wasn’t an amateur in picking out bows, if it was swords the vixen could see through any trick, but bows were a bit different.
“I heard Ulder is really good for short bows and bone works pretty well too. I really need it to last as well. I can’t have it breaking in an adventure.”
