A girl and her stag go shopping (Yuros)

OOCIf I get some prices wrong, let me know quickly so I can fix it.

Alea laughed slightly at the stag's enthusiasm as she put her own coins back into her pouch. "You have to count out the right number," she explained. "Let's see, the boots are worth 3 silver, yes?" She looked at the clerk for confirmation before continuing. "Then there are the breeches, which are, what, 5 silver? And then the cloak is also 5 silver. Then since 10 silver mizas is worth the same as one gold miza, you pay 1 gold and 3 silver mizas." Alea smiled at Yuros, hoping he understood. He seemed to know a few random things about human culture, and he'd gotten coin from somewhere, but she had no way of knowing if he knew how to count. After explaining the prices to him, she counted out the money for him and paid the clerk.

The Kelvic watched as the money was counted from his purse. He had some understanding of the concept, but he did not understand what each coin represented or what gave them their value.

Is it something to do with the colors? He wondered, Or perhaps the material? The texture perhaps sets the coins apart?

Yuros puzzled over this while he watched Alea count out his money for him. The money was a new thing to him, and he did not understand why humans used such things. Could they not simply share their territory and the resources within it like the creatures of the forest? What was the purpose of using a second resource to purchase other needed material?

The shop keeper seemd to understand however, for he accepted the coins and counted them as well. Then the purchase was over, or at least Yuros thought it was...

Such strange customs these humans have... Inwardly the Kelvic thought that it was far to complex a method just to obtain fur to stay warm...

Alea breathed a sigh of relief as their shopping adventure drew to a close. He knew friend was clothed; he would not offend anyone's sensibilities, and he would not freeze to death. Now all she needed to do was get him to eat and she would be satisfied with the state of his health. Fortunately, she knew a great chef. After giving Yuros the rest of his money, she took his hand and pulled him along to Winterflame Hold.
