A New Journey [Abalia, Nelliel]

Surprised by the hug, Abalia stiffened out before hesitantly returning the embrace. Generally speaking, the only people Abalia hugged were young children, so to say that this was putting her out of her element would be just a bit of an understatement. Still, Nelliel seemed friendly enough, and there was that childlike aspect of her personality that gave Abalia enough reason to not simply push her away.

“Yes, well... Don't worry about it too terribly, Nelliel. Of course you can keep your clothes, I would not especially wish to throw them away. But I would ask that you not wear them around here. I would be just a tad disappointed were I to arrest you yet again.”

Though it was incredibly faint, Abalia smiled for her new friend, and made her way out of the shop after payment had been completed and Nel's clothes collected. She figured the best place to go from here was simply back to the Tundra. It was, after all, something of her home base.

“Tell me, Nelliel, would you care for lunch? I do believe I have just the place in mind.”
