I shall get this returned to you. I won't spook you, so there's no need to skitter about, either.

YAY
[ Sage sounds a little bit brighter about that, the thought of tearing away all these pretenses something they seem to be looking forward to. ]
I will leave you to your shopping. Call on me, should you have need of me... or once you've found those boots.
