It's impressive in that respect that Gaia found anything close to what she was accustomed to on the First.

"That explains a great deal," she admits with some chagrin. It's not frustration so much as resignation. But she rallies quickly. "I suppose it's too much to ask that something for 'free' covers every possible reality one comes from."

There might be no sign of a bespoke goods shop, but she can't complain about the quality of the clothes in general compared to what had been available on Kamurkia. Though in fairness to that world, it'd been recovering from the brink of calamity and going on winter.

But another important thing she learned from that previous world is that the cost of drawing something from her world is never free. Fabian's phrasing doesn't escape her and the youth is cast a wry and knowing look of complete understanding.

"I'm hardly surprised. And I'm sure we have to 'tow the line' as they say, to earn such credit."

The mood of how things work in Etraya is a lot less gentle than Kamurkia. And since she was turning into a dragon against her will at the time, that's saying something.

"Well, perhaps you can tell me what those caveats are, if you want to introduce me to some ideas for this contemporary fashion that might suit me in your opinion."

This is totally all about the information on the system of Etraya and not at all to do with maybe shopping a bit more and trying out a few things.
