"Layers are indeed a thing," Rosalyn assured her as she grabbed a casual button-down shirt and t-shirt and put them together for effect. "You can even wear a tank top underneath if you prefer. Most people like to layer, especially in the colder months."

"Are you okay? Seyyal?" Rosalyn asked then when Seyyal was overly quiet for a moment and seemed preoccupied with something.

Seyyal seemed to snap out of it as her name was called. "Hmm? Oh, I guess I forgot what I was saying. But I think layers would be good for me. I like being able to adjust things to fit the situation."

She shook her head a little and whatever hazy cobwebs had manifested in her mind went away. "Alright," she said as she gathered another paired set of shirts. "I think I should try some of this on before we end up with a mountain of clothes. I dont want to be buried in the way too soft and bizarrely well stitched clothes of this world." Her smile and laugh returned like nothing had happened at all.

"Alright, we all have brainfart moments, " Rosalyn said with a smile, accepting Seyyal's explanation for her moment of inattention.

"I'll just wait over there by the changerooms," Rosalyn said pointing to an area near the changerooms. "They have some clearance items, and I'm always a sucker for clothes that are 75% off," she confessed as the two made their way over to wear Seyyal could try some of the clothes on.

Seyyal shrugged and accepted the idea of her just having had a mental lapse without question. Truth be told it was hard for her to focus on thinking about it anyway so it was easier to just move on. "Save some of the cheap clothes for me to look at, too!" She called out after her.

She then slipped into the changing rooms with the items they'd picked out. Which took a lot longer than she realized it would. She couldn't just throw them on and see if they fit or not, though that was a part of it. She had to actually see if she was ok with the look too and that was the harder part. Not to mention she did have to change out of her armor in the first place. Not as bad as wearing full plate armor or something but it still took a hot minute to do properly.

Eventually she made her way out from the changing room without shoes on but wearing the tshirt with purple stars on it underneath a button down shirt, left open, and also wearing a pair of jeans that she looked rather uncomfortable with the tightness of. "Hey, uh Rosalyn... why do people here like their trousers to fit like leather gloves? It's so weird. Definitely need to get looser jeans than these for me." Technically it looked pretty good on her and most of her misgivings were just her own experience with clothing but still.

"Will do," Rosalyn called out as Seyyal slipped into the change room. "I'll look for both of us," she promised as she flipped through the rack of clearance items and started pulling tops, sweaters and a few hoodies for both of them.

When Seyyal came out of the changeroom finally, Rosalyn stopped, did a double-take and smiled widely.

"You look great," she gushed as she came over with her arms loaded with a few sales items.

"And, I dunno, jeans tend to be very fitted this season," she agreed. "Let me get you a size up," she offered as she looked at the tag and quickly returned with two more pairs. "This is a size up, and these were on sale besides the rack," she said handing her the two different pairs in a size larger than what she had originally taken.

"I'm pretty sure I would have gotten lost in here without your help," she laughed as she spun around a little and glanced in a mirror nearby. "Just uh, I dont want to go overboard here. I'm just on my stipend- I guess maybe I should get a job. Just... we felt weird trying to get settled here if we make it back home again permanently"

It was a very candid admission but she avoided really getting too far into it by slipping back into the changing room with the alternate jeans.

"I totally understand," Rosalyn said as she looked for a few pieces that Seyyal might be able to switch out, sale instead of regular priced since with t-shirts it was often just a seasonal colour scheme or sizing was low.

"We are supposed to move out to the farmlands in a bit, but at the same time, I feel I should get a job to help out. Although, I also think, but what happens if I get a job and we move out two weeks later?" she said as she put some t-shirts back on the rack.

After again slipping back out of the changing room Seyyal waved to catch Rosalyn's attention and turned around slowly to show off the replacement jeans. They still looked good but now they felt a little more comfortable for her.

"I guess you could take a job and then leave it later if you needed to. Traveling back and forth probably isnt too bad," she reasoned as she stepped over to take a look at the substitute items Rosalun had picked.

"I'm just worried we might manage to fix things and then one morning we just wont wake up here anymore."

Catching Seyyal out of the corner of her eye, Rosalyn wandered back to see how she was doing with the replacement jeans.

"Hey, those fit you nicely," Rosalyn said as she admired how well the jeans looked on Seyyal.

"That is true. Also, I imagine there probably is a portal somewhere too that can whisk me to town quickly even if we do move out there," she said as she seriously considered Seyyal's job advice.

Looking at Seyyal thoughtfully for a moment, Rosalyn put aside a warm sweater she was going to buy before she spoke.

"Yeah know... If you want, you could always put me down as one of your contacts, and if that does happen, I can always explain to your employer what has happened," she offered.

Seyyal smiled at the praise and looked in a nearby mirror. She certainly looked less out of place wearing more 'normal' clothes. Thank goodness she had someone to help her with it though.

"Hmm," she thought the suggestion over. "That might work. Though honestly I'm not entirely sure what kind of work I would even want to do. It's not like being an 'adventurer for hire' is a thing here. But if I do I'll definitely check in to see about using you as a contact." She decided she was happy with what she had tried on and gathered a couple other items Rosalyn had set aside for her to see.

"What makes you all want to go out to the farms though? If you dont mind me asking. I get the idea of that area being more comfortable the city is kind of overwhelming sometimes- but there must be more to it."
