[ The bowls, the spoons and forks, the assorted bits and bobs get a polite look of interest, though it's clear whatever Rinwell hoped to see isn't present. So turning her attention instead to Geralt is quick and easy, and both girl and bird perk up at the materials he's perusing. ]

Ooo. That'd match the beams already there very well. What do you think, Hootle?

'Fuufuufu!'

[ Consider that enthusiastic consent!

Small fingers reach over to touch the wood, following the grain, before she looks over to the other options on display. There are some thicker boards, some thinner, others a lighter brown. But attention turns back to the dark oak again.
]

This one. For sure. How much do you think we'll need?

[ How much is Rinwell's memory of Hootle and how much is the magic involved in constructing such a familiar likely has far more overlap than the girl is aware of - all she knew was how much she missed her beloved bird, and then one day he was returned to her.

Or at least, a version of him. She's not going to look a gift owl in the beak here.

He's a happy bundle of feathers, and Geralt has all the approval he needs on that score. His question however gets a blink from Rinwell, followed by a sheepish glance back to the table.
]

Ah, no, I was...just looking. I thought maybe I might see something to remind me of.. [she trails off a moment, then shakes her head] It's not important.

[ It's Fine. Don't worry about it. ]

But if we need more bowls for the house, especially now there's more room for guests, should we get them now or later?

[ They're making a home now, again, but there's a permanence that the little apartment they'd all squeezed in prior hadn't had. It's a place she can return to, is welcome to do so, and will be safe. It isn't like the hideouts in Cysloden, where backs remained against the wall even when resting amongst those who could be loosely considered allies, and even more vaguely a friend.

But there are no butterflies. No wolves. No swords or lions or birds, or roses with their thorns. All motifs she'll have time to tell him about later, if he'd be willing to listen.
]

I think he'll enjoy doing that. [whether they like the results remains to be seen!] I'll make sure to ask when we get back.

[ She pays close and eager attention to the haggling. There was never much in the way of lower prices on Dahna, and she'd stuck to Ciri's side when the older girl dickered with the market men in the other city. Once the wood is procured, she nods politely to the seller, before trotting at Geralt's side. ]

No. Not really. There'd never been much need to, back home. Where I was from, anyway.

[ She's gotten a lot more used to swearing since living in the Witcher Apartment (well, house, now, technically, when you consider the size of their upgrade.) Sometimes though she still looks slightly startled, which is perhaps hilarious given what she's lived through up until now.

(Them JRPGs only get so many swears to use, mind you.)

But she gets it, knows exactly what he means, especially with the fondness in his voice, and she bobs her head quickly.
]

We only had so many locations to rest, and you couldn't always trust they'd stay unfound, or safe. But we made do. [whether she means her family, or the resistance, or even the friends she made later? well, perhaps she'll tell Geralt eventually. She's started opening up, slowly but surely.] Was it a big place? And were there many of you training?

[ The day she does, there will be loud gasps, and much back patting, no doubt. Until then, however, she'll be sure to let them know if they've said something she doesn't like. ]

Oh. [big places, bigger because they've grown empty. What homes she'd had growing up had never been big (they'd been lucky to be small, in fact) but a part of her can almost imagine it.] That has to be hard.

[ The new apartment's location will take a little getting used to. Rinwell almost turns off the path back towards their old place out of habit part way along, and has to quicken her steps to catch up again. It's not a bad place, though. A far better place to lay low than she'd ever had on Dahna.

Once through the door, she holds it open in turn for Geralt; easier for carrying in the wood.

Where are the tools kept here?

[ She can fetch them! ]
