Peak humiliation ritual: ordering a drink at the tavern and reaching in your satchel to find that you don't have any money left.
Amesemi was still thirsty when she left the tavern, her tail flicking with frustration. She had been quite lazy the last few cycles, she supposed: all she was really doing was sitting in her nest lounging around with her valuables (which were not sufficient currency for food and drink, she'd learned), wandering around or eating out instead of hunting for herself. She was... out of practice with being a functional member of society, she supposed.
So, it was time to be of value to other people.
The great creature turned and moved to the bounty board instead, putting a hand to her chin as she frowned contemplatively. There were a few posters left-- the caves had seemed quite quiet as of late, so she supposed there must have been less gembound going back and forth for supplies. They wanted fruit, peppers, bones, grains, firewood and fish.
Amesemi didn't know where one would acquire pepper or grains, so she struck those out of her mind. Fruit and firewood, though... that should be easy enough. She should be able to, in theory, find those in the same place. Centaurus was quite lush, last time she checked-- maybe Pegasus or Cepheus, too, if she wandered far enough. Eridanus was lush, too, but something about that particular room had icked her out lately.
Bones and fish should be easy, too. Amesemi didn't have any bones fresh, but prey was everywhere and fish lived wherever there was water.
The sphinx rubbed her eyes, frowning. She'd be in for some significant travel either way, it seemed.
