((sorry! I'm back though - cause we had to check out by 10 am EST and its an hour drive from here. I'm on my way out to lunch but I'll be back soon, and then we have the whole day ^_^))
"Hm... I think there's one this way.." Kaylin began to head down the street towards all the shops

Ayumi watched people go by, amazed at how much the town has changed since she'd left it a few years ago. "I really missed this place," she said as they passed a local diner.

"Yeah.. it's a really nice place. I'm kind of sad to be leaving it.." Kaylin replied with a sigh as she turned and walked into the local hiking and supply store.

"It's not like you won't be seeing it again," Ayumi offered. She followed her into the store and looked around at the tent section. "We'll be spending a while in the mountains, we need camping shit. Oh, and you'll need chalk, lots of it."
She racked her brain, trying to remember what else she needed. She remembered when she was 13 and going through Briggs' mountain with her teacher. It was cold as fuck, and her teacher wouldn't help her with the simplest thing, forcing her to use alchemy to keep herself warm. She had the transmutation circle to accelerate molecules for heat practically tattooed on her skull, she used it so many times.
She picked up a purple thermal sleeping bag thoughtfully, wondering if she was willing to spend any money.
[We'll use yen here, by the way :I ]

"I know... this is just all I've ever really known beside my hometown. I'm just over-thinking this whole thing, don't mind me." Kaylin walked around the store, picking out a few things she felt necessary for camping, and grabbing a few boxes of chalk.

Ayumi shrugged. "Suit yourself." She gathered some canned foods then went over to the registered and started to pay for the stuff.
The cashier glanced at her state alchemist watch and muttered something that she was pretty sure was 'military bitch.' She nonchalantly brushed her hand against the cashier, and after a flash of light, the cashier exploded.
"What the-?!"
"Oops, sorry about that." She waved Kaylin over and walked out of the store.

Kaylin grabbed a few things she felt were necessary and followed Ayumi out, tossing some money down as she went. Her normal frown was on her face again, and she was walking slower.

Ayumi marched down the street, heading for the dock. After a few minutes, when the boats were in sight, she looked back to see Kaylin frowning. She stopped. "What?"

"I'm just really unsure about this whole thing... but I'm still coming, I promise." Kaylin picked up the pace and put on a fake smile.

"Fine, fine." Ayumi started to walk into the dock. She looked around, spying the ferry that went back and forth from Feibero to Briggs. She started to walk onto the bridge leading to the ferry when someone stopped the two of them.
"Ticket, ma'am?"
She lifted her state alchemist watch.
His brow furrowed. "And her?" he asked, gesturing to Kaylin.
"She's with me."
"...proceed." He waved them off, a disgruntled look on his face.
"C'mon," she started to walk into the ferry.

Kaylin followed silently, trying to mentally prepare herself for this trip. All she could think about was how much work goes into what she had previously thought was simple alchemist training.

Ayumi lead Kaylin into the lower deck where it was warm, taking a seat next to the window. She sighed, brushing a finger through her long black hair, and then looked at her.
"Okay. Let's review," she started, knowing her teacher would kill her if she didn't evaluate Kaylin's alchemical knowledge. "Tell me what you understand about alchemy."

"Um.. Well... I know some basic symbols. And I've seen quite a few transmutation circles." Kaylin fidgeted, having very limited knowledge.

"Oooookay...." Ayumi scratched her head. Not bad, she could work with that. "Well, do you know the law of equivalence?"

"Of course! If I didn't my professors would kill me!"
"Kaylin? Is that you?" A male voice called from close behind her and Ayumi.
Turning, Kaylin smiled a bit, "Kain! Is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me." Kain Fuery came up and stood near the girls.
"Who's this you're with? And what are you doing going to Briggs?"
"I'm going to Amestres for a while... wait! What are you doing going to Briggs?"
"I'm going to visit a friend, and then I'm heading to work in Amestres for the next few months. I dropped the classes at school because they really need me back in Amestres."
"Oh. I see. Well, anyway! Ayumi, this is Kain Fuery, a former classmate of mine, Kain this is Ayumi."
Noticing Ayumi's pocket watch, Kain raised an eyebrow. "An alchemist of the state? Interesting. I'm surprised I didn't recognize you right away, Ms. Ayumi."
