After a brief conversation with someone else, Drusilla had decided to stay in the Forum for a little bit and look around the busy commercial district. Most of the time, her interest strays to any market booths that offer books.

The young woman might stand out a little, as she is dressed in Victoria-era clothing. But she moves with comfort and ease through the Forum, as if she has been here before.

Eventually, she finds a place to sit down with a few of the books she had purchased. Carefully, even while wearing gloves, Drusilla flips through the pages of the book with interest.

"It would be so interesting to travel to the places one finds in books. I wonder, where the line between fictional and reality truly blend?"

Dru concentrates on her abilities, to sense things that others can not, to see if she can help direct Kazuma in any way.

[Dru is a low level telepathic. She could receive some psychic reading off him, if you are so willing.]

((I am indeed willing! :D))

Kazuma is vaguely aware of a bit of an odd sensation in the back of his head, but it seems neither threatening nor troublesome, so he pays it no heed. Dru will be able to tell he has arrived in the Nexus only a short time ago and hasn't really yet been told about PINpoints, hence his confusion.

"You should get yourself a PINpoint." Dru tells him softly. She brings out her PINpoint device, to show him what it looks like.

"That information I gave you was my contact information to this device."

"Most people in the Nexus have one."

"I see." Kazuma looks at the PINpoint with interest, before raising his eyes back to Dru's face. "Might you know where I could obtain one?"

"There is usually some available by where you would have received the brochure. Did you see a box nearby?"

"A box...to be fair, I wasn't exactly looking. But I remember where I got the brochure." Kazuma turns to look at a conveniently nearby table, upon which there is indeed a box. "Well. It appears there is."

"You can create your own PINpoint address. It is a handy device to have."

"If you know your dimension's PINpoint portal, it can take you back home. And it also allows you to visit the Forum, whenever you want."

Kazuma's just going to nip over there and get a PINpoint, bringing it back with a look of great curiosity on his face. "Would you be so kind as to show me exactly what to do with this?"

"Sure, sit down for a little bit. I will give you some basic how-to instructions." Dru brings out her PINpoint device, so she can show him some tips on using the item.

Kazuma sits obediently, a look of eager concentration on his face. He resembles nothing so much as an excited schoolboy, right now. "I do appreciate the help."

"I am glad that I was able to help."

"Is there something I can do to repay you for this?"

"No." Dru smiles softly. "I like helping others. And I am glad that I could have helped."

He still wants to bring Dru cookies or something.

"Helping is a wonderful feeling, isn't it? It's one of my favorites."

"It is something my parents always valued. And they taught us to value helping others."

"They were very good people, then."

Kazuma fiddles a bit more, finally managing to get the PINpoint set properly. Or so he hopes, anyway. "So I just hold it out like this, and press the button?"

"Once you are certain you have the right dimension. I wouldn't press anything, until you can confirm that is your home dimension."

"Otherwise you might end up somewhere else."

"Ah." That thought makes him look a bit pale, not that he can be blamed. "I'll wait for my portal, then."

"I hope you find it soon. And remember, you do have my contact information now."

"I'm sure I'll put it to good use."
