she's the kind of girl you can never please
'For life' sounds so grand and needlessly eternal that Hotaru can't help but laugh, charmed by Alys' determination to even the scales. "Okay, deal. Readings for life." And if coin were to find its way into the Seer's pockets each time in the future, Hotaru would merely claim to have been practicing her sleight of hand. Lifting up and empowering women was as important to her as her mission to do so for all Abandoned. What else did the Valkyrie need materialistically that she could not easily obtain anyway? Waving a goodbye to Estus instead of cursing the poor, unsociable man with a spoken goodbye, the Valkyrie follows Alys back out into the street with their bag of cloaks in hand and the Seer newly garbed. "In terms of absolute basics: gloves, shoes, and snow glare goggles. With the Academy blessing you don't have to get thermal under layers, but I also recommend a waterproof bag if you don't already have one." She would push for the last two, but they were technically optional.
