Shoe that fits

Emily continued to stroll through the town's streets in the company of her mother. Despite the arrival of winter, it didn't deter people from venturing out and going about their day. She glanced back behind her and noticed Westley following them at a good five-step distance.

"I must say, I find the clothing in this place to be far more comfortable than what we have in Versailles," Lady Sophia said, adjusting the ends of her sleeves before holding the shawl tightly. 

"It is indeed warm and nice," Emily agreed. Since her mother had arrived in the Storm Kingdom, their family in Versailles had made no effort to contact them, as if they were already aware of her whereabouts. 

"Where is Mr. Ardolf? It looks like he is running late," Lady Sophia inquired, looking around the street.
