So with Stacy's credits, as well as a sell or two of his memories (he found the idea so weird initially, but after thinking about it, he somewhat warmed up to the idea, offering a few of his most beloved but not too serious or personal memories), Snow had finally begun his journey. His journey with Serah to browse around and buy her anything she wanted. He had no idea how often the ship and her crew made stops like this, much less stops on planets with so many things ripe for the buying, so figured he'd play it safe and go all out to spend everything he had.

Snow and Serah could be seen moving about together hand in hand, stopping at this stall and that one to see what they had to offer. Clothes? Trinkets? Random things that Serah thought were cute? Every thing she'd show an interest in would get the same question from Snow: "You want it?" And though the two looked absolutely content in each other's company, they also had a more than open air about them if they spotted any new or familiar faces in the crowds.

[ooc: feel free to run into them at any ol' made up stall!]

Shopping on an alien world: who could say no to that? Not Serah Farron.

The bags were beginning to pile up, though. She realized that anything she so much as paused briefly to look at, Snow wanted to buy her. She had no intention of taking advantage of this, but what could she do besides pretend not to be interested in anything? It was another planet!

"I think you've bought me enough," she told him with a laugh. "You're spoiling me!"

"Hey, I've got the cash!" he smiled. "Those alien guys had some pretty good deals to add on to what Stacy gave us when we landed. Plus, who knows how often this ship we're on makes stops like this?"

He'd heard stories about visiting places, one of which didn't sound nearly as fun as their trip on XaXing, considering the whole alleged Ohm attack and all.

"I guess you're right." He did have a point. This planet had shopping and other conveniences, but the next one could be a barren wasteland. For all they knew, the next ten planets could be barren wastelands.

"Why don't we find something for you, though?"

"For me? Sure!" Honestly though, while Serah was always first priority, and while Snow did look around here and there at some interesting or strange things that caught his eye, he hadn't really come across anything he'd considered buying to keep. "Like what?"

"I don't know, what would you like?" She smiled up at him. "Let me get you something!"

"Hmm," he stood at the stand they were at, eyes focusing on some of the little items scattered about the table as if one of them might give him an idea. He wondered to himself, aside from Serah feeling as comfortable as humanly possible on the ship, was there anything he needed? Her feeling comfortable was all he really needed, but maybe something ... something he could use if they were going to be on Stacy on for a while...

"How 'bout some gloves, then?" He lifted a hand and pulled at the ones he had on. "Lucky I found these down in Weapons and Possessions with my coat, but a second pair for backup wouldn't be bad."

Gloves. Of course, she should have known!

"There you go!" she said, giving him a pat on the back. "That shouldn't be too hard to track down. Have you spotted any you liked?"

"We can always swing back to a couple of those clothes stands and take a closer look!" He remembered seeing a few nice things in general at them, but he wasn't looking out for anything in particular so didn't pay much mind whether or not they had what he was looking for.

"Maybe we'll find something else you like, too."

"Okay!"

Serah was happy to have the chance to get him something after the pile of things he had already bought for her. "No, no, I think you've already spent enough on me today!"

"Might as well spend it all while we're here! Maybe we can get some food, too ... that standard stuff on the ship is pretty gross."

Turning back around, Snow headed toward the closest clothing store he had remembered to get a better look at what they had. Garments in every color imaginable-- and then there were even clothes, oddly shaped and clearly unwearable for a person, that he stared at in confusion for a moment before realizing Oh. Right. Not just humans.

Oh? Midna would recognize that shaggy blond head anywhere. She swooped in, especially curious to see a young woman accompanying him from stall to stall. The infamous Serah, perhaps?

"Hey, blondie! Doing some shopping?"

He was quickly getting used to that voice. Turning his head to Midna, Snow waved his free hand at her in a cheerful greeting. "Heeey, Midna! You can say that."

"Guess I will, then. Find anything interesting so far?"

She motioned toward the young woman at his side. "And you're Serah, right?"

"That's me!" She offered Midna a smile and a wave. "I think I've seen you before. Looks like you already know Snow, huh?"

"Yep," he piped in with a proud squeeze of Serah's shoulder at Midna's remark. "We met down in those chambers before you woke up."

Midna put her hands behind her head, letting herself lean backwards a little in the air. "Yeah, he was busy trying to break open all those pods of goo. Which you can get in hot water for, by the way."

She waved a little hand at Serah. "You should keep an eye on this guy, make sure he toes the line."

Serah had to laugh at that. Sure, she could probably keep him in line better than most people, but Snow was Snow. 'The line' wasn't usually something he was terribly concerned with.

"Getting in trouble already, huh?" She nudged Snow playfully. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Hey, I was getting you out of that pod!" Since, in Snow's mind, it was totally his unwillingness to stop anything until Serah was there with him that got her out of there-- not just a lucky moment. "That ship's just got a nasty attitude about the new guys."

"Yeah, it does. And you're new, too, blondie -- so make sure you don't end up on the wrong side of the ship." Midna had seen what it did to that woman who'd racked up enough "violations" to merit being punished. She wouldn't wish that on anyone.

"Glad to see you got out okay, though."
