Chapter 10

Maxi's migraine did not start to alleviate until the next day. After a simple breakfast, she left the dorms to browse the small market near the harbor. The last campaign had taught her the necessity of weapons, sturdy boots, and a durable leather belt and bag.

When it came to weapons, she could always request one from Nome Hall's master craftsmen, but she would have to procure her shoes, hat, and weather-resistant clothes from the market. Maxi made sure to purchase everything she needed using the stipend provided by the Tower, as well as the gold coins Rodrigo had handed her as she left Anatol. Despite her efforts to only buy the essentials to keep her bags as light as possible, the bulky winter garments made it difficult.
