The next few hours were a blur compared to the last few. He visited Digger to pick up the remaining catalysts and to tell him about the Sky Tyrant.
Oddly, Digger did not look surprised when Luca said how close he had come to dying. The man shrugged as if he had expected it.
Erina had paid him two crowns for the risk. That left him with two crowns and a few hundred sterlings. It was more money than he had ever personally owned before.
With the cash he could afford things he had postponed.
He went to Mina to order more clothes and commissioned a shoemaker for several pairs of shoes.
Luca gave instructions for adjusting. For the coats he asked for extra pockets sewn into the lining. To Mina it looked like a strange request, but to him the pockets were used for keeping catalysts and small weapons.
He switched the materials out for a more expensive one and replaced buttons with clasps to make the coats sturdier and more flexible.
