Shui slowly slips through the shop, moving from display to display, eyes soft, that faint smile on her face. She reaches out to touch a crystal, finger sliding along the smooth, wind-seared surface. A bottle is hefted, held up to the light, gazed through, replaced. Her thumb hooks a crude necklace from its perch, lays it across her arm for examination. Every single object seems to gain some special signficance, a worthiness, in her eyes.
Except the knives. She passes those by without expression, the smile fading for a few seconds.
Pausing in the centre of the shop, the doctor closes her eyes for a long moment, taking in a deep breath. Her smile widens, and she turns toward a forked, crystaline tower, implausibly spiked by wind and grit, some edges almost bladed, others worn smoother than razor-cut carrots. With a sad sigh, and a brief glance around the rest of the shop, she focuses her attention on the small, oddly shaped nick-nack.
"Yes," the woman whispers, and picks up the crystal. "This will do."
