Imiar paid attention to his movements. Does he not have any money? I suppose he wouldn't, being frozen in ice and all... And what was that he did just now? Where did his sword go? Imiar's thoughts trailed off as they entered the market place. Immediately, her eyes were drawn to a stall with fresh fruit. She made her way over, gingerly sidestepping some large ogres that were not watching where they were going.
"Hello, I'd like two apples please." Imiar said, as she reached the stall. The stall owner allowed her to pick out her two apples, and held out his hand for the money. She opened her bag and handed him some money, noticing the looks she was getting from the ogres that she'd had to sidestep earlier. The stall owner was grateful to receive slightly more than his asking price, and thanked her profusely.
"No, thank you very much," Imiar concluded her business and turned to Ukitake, handing him an apple. "You must be hungry. Who knows how long you were frozen." She took a bite of her apple, enjoying the sweetness. She didn't get fruit very often, it was one of the more expensive commodities in the marketplace.
Imiar ate her apple quickly as they strolled through the market. She knew they were being followed--ogres aren't exactly subtle. Once she finished her apple, she handed her bag of money to Ukitake, saying quietly, "If any of that goes missing, I'll kill you." With that, she turned around and hurled her apple core at one of the ogre's foreheads.
"Hey! Do you guys need something?" She asked in a menacing tone.

The ogre that was hit by her apple core roared angrily, while the others seemed to be laughing at their brethren's misfortune. Imiar spared herself a quiet chuckle, but immediately replaced her straight face, and widened her stance.
"I'll ask one more time, do you need something?" She reiterated in a menacing voice, hand resting on the hilt of her sword.
The ogres all stopped laughing and stared at her for a brief moment, and then looked at each other--a silent counsel it seemed. After a few seconds of this, one of the ogres spoke up:
"No, we need nothing from you, she-elf," his voice was loud and booming, but Imiar was not phased.
"Good," she stated simply, "You do not need anything from any of the other people here, either. If I find out you stole from anyone, I'll make sure the next bounty I collect will be on your heads." With that, she turned back to Ukitake and grabbed her money bag, holding it firmly against her chest once more.

"They just wanted my money," Imiar stated simply, "This town is a rough place, ideal for my line of work. That's why I've chosen to live here. And, now that we are not being followed, we will go to my current residence." She paused for a moment, and then continued, "I suppose you would like some more substantial food, yes?" she glanced at him as they walked, and subtly changed their direction to one of the marketplace stalls that sells cooked meat.
Once they reached the stall, she opened her bag and handed Ukitake enough money to get what he desired, "I do not eat meat, so I would have no idea what to ask for. Get what you like." After saying this, she took a few steps back so as not to crowd the stall owner, and patiently waited for Ukitake to get some food.

He nodded as he took her money, coming back with what seemed to be piles of meat on top of meat.
"I have no idea what this is, but food in your home tastes delicious.", he said with half his mouth full.
Ukitake returned over to Imiar, as he held his plate of pure protein. He was wondering why she was keeping him around this entire time. No regular stranger would want to find a person sealed in a block of ice, let alone hand him money.
He swallowed and then asked her out of curiosity, "So why have you kept me around so far? I'm a stranger in this world and I'm not an orc, elf, gnome, ogre or leprechaun..."
