She turned to looked at him then shrugged. "Maybe they won't notice?" Who was she kidding? They'd be looking for the slightest strange thing about anyone! "Um... Gimme a second, I'll find something for your eyes." She ran inside the town- as fast as she could with numb legs- and looked around for a shop selling clothes or something. Isis was admittedly surprised that it was still populated so heavily. She found one store that was still open and ran inside. It sold clothes and accessories. It also had some more functional wear. There were goggles, gas masks and other things of the like. They were prepared for an attack alright. Isis wandered over to a pair of goggles and tapped her chin. "If I buy two it won't seem so weird. Hm... Wait a minute, I don't have any money. How do they pay for things?"
"Usually with a trade," a hoarse voice replied form behind her. An old woman stood behind the counter. "But you don't look like you have much of value on you."
"I don't. I haven't even had a decent place to sleep the past few months. Is there something else I can do?"
"Just take it. There's no need to charge what no one has. We all need to live if the aliens make it here. Take what you need and go. There's no need for money here anymore..."
Isis grabbed scarves and two pairs of goggles as well as some clothes, put them in a bag that was also on display, thanked the woman then ran out of the store. She ran back to Rikyo and fell to her knees. "I got some good stuff," she panted. "The woman at the shop let me take what I wanted free of charge!" She held the bag up to him. "I guess there are still some sensible people in the world." She took out the goggles and put on a pair then handed him the other pair. "These should sort of hide your eyes. I got some clothes too." Maybe they could get a bath in while staying at the inn or hotel. Oh, Isis wished hard for a bath. Things had been going perfectly so far.
