Jeanne sighed as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. Given Kále's forgetfulness probably best her not get gear to repair his swords given he'd forget she did it and probably get pissed at her for touching his swords. Plus she didn't know how much she wanted to touch a cursed blade. She just rolled her eyes and start walking towards the door and scratch her cheek.

"Well I guess now we can get your kitchen stuff, Noir.", she says wanting to do her shopping last. Given she would probably have to do the most running around compared to her compatriots. "And don't forget you just bought a sword Kále.", she says with a chuckle.

"I don't want you getting into trouble thinking you have more Berry than you currently have or wandering back into this place thinking you haven't bought one yet."

“Oh, my dear! Wouldn't you like to go get your own weaponry first? It would be quite rude of me to shove my way in line!” Noir looked almost horrified at the idea of getting his things before the lady! He wanted to make sure she had plenty of money to work with!

It would pain him greatly to use up anything she might’ve needed! “Please, I insist, let's go to where you need to first!” His eyes lit up as she passed by.

He had held open the door again for her. As she went through, he followed right after the both of them. He was very…not… pleased with how Kále acted in the store. Who did he think he was, acting like he forgot so soon about the price?! Even when he confirmed it with the shopkeeper! He frowned as his eyes went up to the swordsman. He knew he was stupid, but that stupid? Kále was gonna be the death of him…

Leroy and Kirk had walked off and away from the Horizon's Palm. The Captain has his hands resting on his neck as he walked "So! Where to first Kirk!" He said as he looked at the buildings of Louge.

They were so...Modern. So many of the buildings reached high into the sky. Clothes Lines connected from roof to roof, and even strange-looking cables stretched and webbed across the air. Morray Array Cables transferred Electricity to all the buildings of Louge, all coming from the waterfront at the opposite end of the island where the Morray station was situated.

"We've got plenty of time! And I wanna see the town Square where Roger was Executed!" "Sound Romantic and Appropriate right? Future King of the Pirates visits where the first Died before setting off into the Grand Line!" He said lifting a finger and smiling at Kirk to accentuate his excitement

Kirk finally snapped his journal shut and slid it into his back pocket. "Well, the last thing we should do at least gets the groceries since that will be a lot to haul back... so I'm personally going to try and find a proper compass to help with the Grand Line. Since the weather there is crazy, it'll be harder to use the sun and the clouds to find out way."

"I'll need some more choragraphy papers too for my mapping. Anything specific you need?" Kirk turned his gaze over to Leroy for a moment before his eyes floated up toward the tall buildings around them. It was beautiful here, definitely somewhere deserving of being the pitstop before the Grand Line. The navigator didn't seem as swooned by that idea as Leroy did.

"Well, guess so, but it does feel a bit morbid. Not like I'm against that idea though." Kirk smiled back at Leroy before looking back at the shops.

Alright! Well...I guess lets keep walking until we come across someplace to shop at!" He as he let the navigator...Navigate their way through the town

Kirk was quick to take the lead once Leroy said that, strolling throughout the town with his captain. Of course, he did bring their attention to certain interesting and eye-catching markets here and there and peeled off from the road to actually head into a few stores to get what they needed. Thankfully, Noir had written down all of the food-related worried Kirk had about staying stocked up at the ship, so he only had to get a few things. Sticking with the plan of getting groceries last, Kirk went only into a few places.

He found most of his necessities at a cartography store. He picked up some extra paper for his mapping, that compass he was talking about, and a few more writing utensils like a fountain pen and pencil since he was running low on how much he's already been logging where they'd gone and made sure they had everything together. As they went down the list further, Kirk picked up a lot more lamp oil since they were out, a sewing kit (since Leroy seemed to keep fucking up his sash plus some of their clothes might get some wear and tear), a few med kits for future accidents if they didn't have a doctor by then, and toiletries (now that they had a proper bathroom) like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, whatever they needed to stay healthy.

Having made Leroy carry some of the bags, Kirk had a few of his own hanging on his arm as he crossed out a few things on his list. "All~ right! That should be about it..." He said, leading them into a more open area along the streets. "Last thing we need is groceries.. so we probably either should head back, put all of these up, and then go back for whatever we need or we could tough it out and see what happens. What do you think, Leroy?" He looked over at his captain before his eyes darted up toward the plaza.

"Oh, hey! I think this is where that execution thing happened... unless there are multiple town squares here.."
