"Another day, another adventure!" Nora exclaimed as she jumped in front of Pyrrha's bed. She had just taken probably the quickest shower Pyrrha had ever seen and, if it was possible, had even more energy than usual. "What's on the agenda?" Nora asked excitedly.

"Relaxing."

"With a side of?" Nora asked again, putting her hands on the bed and leaning in toward Pyrrha.

"Relaxing." Pyrrha answered again, taking a sip from the glass of water that was at her bed was still laying on her bed in her bathrobe, her legs crossed over each other and resting on a pillow. Nora lost balance and fell face first into the soft comforter on the bed. Pyrrha smiled as her rambunctious teammate scrambled onto the bed and sat crossed legged in front of her.

"That's all?" Nora questioned, disappointment tinting her voice.

"Nora, we're on a vacation." Pyrrha began, swinging her legs over the side of the bed. "What a better time and place to rest?"

"But we can rest at Beacon!" Nora disagreed, throwing her arms up. "But here we are at a new place with things to see, people to meet, and stuff to get!" Nora's head followed Pyrrha as she walked over to the sink where she had laid her brush the night before.

"Stuff to get?" The warrior repeated, beginning to take out her loose overnight braid. "Like souvenirs and knickknacks?

"Yeah!" Nora exclaimed, making the bed bounce with her enthusiasm. "Every little town like this has shops and cute places to look around." Pyrrha looked over at her teammate, who had a wide smile on her face.

"Even with everything you did yesterday, you still want to go explore?" Pyrrha asked, beginning to brush out her hair, still a little wet from her evening shower.

"Of course!" Nora affirmed. "All we did was play at the beach. If it hadn't gotten dark out I would have stayed there all night!" Pyrrha smiled at the small lapse in logic but listened as Nora continued. "Everyone was having so much fun too! I can't believe how tall Ruby and my sandcastle got and Weiss even joined in in protecting it from Yang and Sun after he got back from the water. But come on, Pyrrha, let's check out the town! Are you really just going to spend your entire time here cooped up in the room?" Pyrrha paused at Nora's statement. She did have a point. With the beautiful weather and foliage, it would be a shame not to appreciate some of its beauty and benefits.

"Alright, we can go take a walk down town. But only after breakfast." Pyrrha finished sternly, pointing the brush at Nora. A low gurgle sounded and Nora giggled, placing her hand over her belly.

"No argument there. Maybe they'll have pancakes!" She said excited as she flopped backwards, beginning to ramble about what they might see when they get to town.

After a hearty breakfast and catching up with the rest of their friends, Pyrrha and Nora began their walk to the town center.

"So any place you have in mind?" Pyrrha asked, glancing around at the mix of shops lining the main road.

"Not really. I don't really know what's around here." Nora responded, looking around as well.

"You were just here yesterday." Pyrrha commented, remembering distinctly her roommate's face covered in pink ice cream as she told her all about her adventure plundering their friends and then finding the ice cream shop.

"That didn't count." Nora said, dismissing the comment with a swat of her hand. "Ruby and I were just looking for ice cream. Today, we're looking at shops." Pyrrha shook her head slightly at her friend as she began skipping in the direction of a small shop. Though Pyrrha wasn't sure why she had picked this shop. Nothing appeared special about the shop other than the small feline sitting inside the window. Probably why she picked it though.

The small shop door chimed as Pyrrha walked in and was welcomed with a pleasant, sweet aroma.

"Kilowa and welcome to my store." A small woman greeted Pyrrha. She had dark skin, wrinkled from both time and exposure to the sun. Her hair was course and wavy, braided into a crown around her head. She wore a simple dress, dyed mango orange with a braided halter top.

"Pyrrha!" Nora softly called from inside the store. Pyrrha continued walking and found a small, had woven grimm on a display shelf. "Isn't this the cutest thing?" Nora squeaked as she held it in her hands. It wasn't like any of the grimm they had fought while at Beacon. It appeared to have the long body of a fish, but its tail was horizontal rather than vertical. And protruding from the tip of the creatures head was a white twisted shell that slightly resembled a screw.

"The craftsmanship is certainly respectable." Pyrrha commented, taking hold of a larger version of the little creature.

"That's how you can tell this place is good." Nora whispered to Pyrrha. "Any dinky tourist trap wouldn't have something like this." Pyrrha looked over at her friend, impressed with her insight on an out of the ordinary matter such as this.

"Do you think you'll get it? Might be a nice surprise for Ren." Pyrrha suggested. It'd be a lot better than her last present to him.

"No. I don't think Ren would like me becoming an actual pirate." Nora responded calmly, continuing to walk around the store.

"What?"

"It wouldn't be very nice to steal something like that." Nora explained, stooping down to look at more trinkets.

"You didn't bring money?" Pyrrha asked, stopping in her tracks, more confused than before.

"Nope."

"Then why did you want to go shopping?"

"Not shopping, looking." Nora corrected her, putting away the bowl she was holding. "When Ren and I were younger, we got a lot of experience entering new towns." Nora explained, her eyes spacing out. "With every new town came new people, scary people. The only way I was able to think of the each new place as home was to look at things I could get. When you don't have much, anything that you can say is yours makes things a little bit more bearable."

Pyrrha stood quietly, looking at her teammate still kneeling on the floor. How many places did she have to call home before one became permanent? Or does she even have a permanent home…

"Oh, look at this!" Nora shouted, snapping Pyrrha out of her thoughts. "Doesn't this make you think of Weiss?" Nora held up a small necklace. On the simple silver chain was small white shell, encased in pale blue glass. However, rather than gently encasing the shell, the ice was elegantly jagged, as if it were crystals. Or ice.

"That would suit her." Pyrrha admitted as Nora took a picture of it with her scroll.

"I've got to show this to Weiss' date!" Nora said quickly as she typed on her screen. "This would be perfect!"

"Weiss' date?" Pyrrha questioned.

"Yeah! She must have mentioned it to us while you were still getting food but Weiss has a date. Tonight!" Nora said happily.

"Oh, that's wonderful." Pyrrha said smiling, though on the inside she admittedly wasn't sure what to think. Tonight? Where could she be going tonight?

"Yup!" Nora smiled, placing the necklace back where she found it and then carefully skipping to the front of the store. Pyrrha followed, admiring the craftsmanship of the gifts and tokens displayed.

Before leaving though, Nora had to take a moment to great the feline in the window.

"A wonder if Blake likes getting her head scratched." Nora asked out loud, the happy tabby purring.

"I'm not sure. Though, no one has tried as far as I know." Pyrrha admitted as she opened the door, waiting for her teammate to finish.

"We should go see her and find out!" Nora suddenly exclaimed, running past Pyrrha out the door. Or at least she tried. A firm hand latched on to her collar, preventing her from making a very bad decision.

"Nora, you are not going to try and see if Blake likes her ears being scratched."

"Alright." Nora said, slouching slightly in Pyrrha's hold. "It probably wouldn't be very nice to interrupt her time with Sun either."

"Blake and Sun?" Pyrrha asked, letting go of Nora. Does she just keep track of everyone's relationship statuses?

"Yeah. She and he headed to the art fair that was going on this week." She explained turning around.

"An art fair? That actually sounds nice." Pyrrha responded as she started walking.

"Yup! You know, you and Jaune should go!" Nora said, skipping beside her long legged teammate. "It'd be perfect!"

"I don't know about perfect Nora." Pyrrha began, attempting to correct her enthusiastic wing-girl.

"And you can ask him when we go to lunch!" Nora continued talking, purposefully oblivious to her teammate's hesitation. "I just messaged Ren and Jaune to meet us up in the park."

"Why are we going to the park for lunch?" Pyrrha asked. Nora may be a little forceful but she's at least understanding enough not to plan a surprise double date picnic, is she?

"Because I smell street food and nothing tastes more local than something made right in front of you." Nora declared, still skipping along the sidewalk as they past more stores. "Now come on! This adventure's not going to happen on its own!"
