I guess so. I rarely stay on the Blue Fish when we're visiting a planet, though.

[He stops in front of a rack of shirts, rifling through them absently.]

I don't like to be there too much.

[shroudedsecrets]

You do not like to feel as though you are confined to it?

[It likely sounds more like a statement than a question, even with the hint of curiosity in her tone.]

[rebuildyourruins]

No, I don't. And I know that we are.

[He shrugs, pulling out a grey sweater. It's not too bad. He fiddles with the pricetag before looking back to Haggar.]

But on our stops I can at least live elsewhere for a time.

[shroudedsecrets]

That is fair. You seem more... preoccupied with the physical.

[Of seeing a situation he could not do much to change constantly taunting him, even with his own ship as a charge.

She glances to his choice in sweater.]

Does that seem durable?

[rebuildyourruins]

[Glancing at Haggar, he gives the sweater a closer look before tugging a bit harder on the sleeve. The move is followed by the unfortunate sound of threads tearing-- oops. Thor stares at the sweater for an awkward minute before just gently placing it back on the rack.]

Nope. No. Doesn't look like it. Hey, let's look over there instead!

[And with that he starts making shooing gestures with his hands at Haggar, trying to ferry her off in another direction away from the scene of his crime.]

[shroudedsecrets]

[Thor earns a slightly quirked eyebrow, though she moves with him at his indication. His clear lack of finesse in trying to shoo them away from the unfortunate incident is... oddly charming, in its own way, almost a familiar way--it says much about his straightforward personality.]

This section does not seem to lend much toward... functionality.

[Nor to fashion, either, as much as it wanted to.]

Hardly suitable, for someone like you.

[rebuildyourruins]

I couldn't agree more.

[Especially if the stupid things are going to break at the slightest provocation. How does anyone get any wear out of these clothes? Satisfied that Haggar is moving, he starts walking more casually.]

But I like to have some things that aren't for battle, you know? It's not as though I'm in many fights here.

[shroudedsecrets]

What you want is something durable but not... unflattering.

[She glances down the racks, with an almost critical look.]

It may be that you require another establishment altogether, in that case.

[This store was just... unfitting. Mostly.]

[rebuildyourruins]

This one does seem ... bad.

[If this pink mesh singlet is anything to go by. Thor picks it up, looking straight through the sizeable holes, and tosses it back onto the rack without hanging it properly.]

Have you seen any others with better wares?

[shroudedsecrets]

[She shakes her head slightly.]

The wares on previous systems seemed more... satisfactory in what they provided than what can be found here, although I admit I have not browsed through many of them. Not with that specific goal in mind, anyway.

[rebuildyourruins]

Oh, that place was much more about things that were actually useful.

[He agrees on that front. Trouble was, he wasn't in the mood to really shop much while they were there. Here, he's a bit more removed from his own dark moods and better able to distract himself.]

Here it's all about looks. Unless it's a blade, where they do seem to value their craftsmanship highly.

[shroudedsecrets]

It is possible that the majority of their offered garments may be less durable because of how far removed they are from anything needing to be heavier.

[Which wasn't exactly practical for visitors expected to take care of things on the surface for them.]

But perhaps it's only to increase the challenge of searching.

[Which. She's... committed enough to do, apparently.]

[rebuildyourruins]

It's weird, isn't it. They must have some people who go up there.

[Humming with thought, he comes to a decision and changes direction.]

Well, let's try somewhere different. I ought to relieve that guard of my hammer anyway.

[shroudedsecrets]

If they do, they have done a good job in keeping themselves hidden. Though they do seem more receptive to interplanetary travelers than one would expect.

[She nods, following his direction. Though a flicker of amusement does cross her features.]

Perhaps he has learned a lesson from that.

[rebuildyourruins]

The lesson is that he shouldn't have taken it off me.

[shroudedsecrets]

Well said.

[It's more likely that there are a small gaggle of guards attempting to wield it and struggling in their confusion, at this point.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[True enough, one other guard is now trying to pick up the handle while the original one looks on. They both jump back skittishly when Thor approaches, only to stare outright when he picks up the axe with one hand and swings it up onto his shoulder.

He doesn't bother saying anything to them, just walks straight out the door. Thor does however speak to Haggar once they're on the street.]

How are you finding this world? It is certainly more lively than the last one.

[shroudedsecrets]

[She observes this, curiously, though likewise remains quiet as she follows him out of the door.]

It is... lively, though I admit it is difficult for me to have an appreciation of it for that reason. I suppose if ... I had to draw a preference between places we visited, the Singing planet was better.

[rebuildyourruins]

The singing planet...? Which one was that?

[shroudedsecrets]

[She's quiet for a moment, as she considers the description. The name of the place, she thinks, isn't as important.]

It was perhaps not the most optimal of conditions for most. The planet was all but covered in ice. However, it is the... energy of that place that I miss.

[rebuildyourruins]

Oh! Yes, I know which one you mean.

[Thor hadn't heard the song of it, not really. But he knew the feel of magic and there was no denying how energising it had been to walk around there.]

I have never felt the like of it before.

[shroudedsecrets]

It was more surprising that a planet of its like would be so accessible by others and yet seem mostly untouched otherwise.

[Certainly there had been the city and the stories left around for interplanetary visitors, but the resources seemed so abundant and untainted, in almost an unnatural way.]
