Having grown in a prosperous tribe, Ayumu hadn't really pay attention to his own wealth for most of his live. He was comfortably raised in a family with a roof over his head and three meals a day. As an adult, the product of his craft was well enough to provide for his sustenance, and he wasn't asking for more. His, indubitably expensive, military equipment was a gift from his clan, and his basic needs were also fulfilled free of charge by the clan. He couldn't even remember the last time he had personally spent more than a trivial amount of money.

"Why not. Maybe in a more spiritually charged place though?

What do you say we let the signs decide of the best location and the best moment? When you'll feel the when and the where are right, reach to me and I'll let you peer into my soul all you want."

"Excellent, perhaps someday in our trek south." She smiled. "I will try not to peer to deep." The young girl winked.

"We'll see about that. Things rarely play out as expected in this world."
