Gideon walked around the plaza looking at each store as he passed.
The goal here was to familiarize himself with the city itself... This place was like a nexus for different planes.
As far as Gideon knew: this wasn't heard of before and he could only wonder how many people are effected by this... And perhaps how many other Planeswalkers got stuck here?
He shook his head. He had to focus: If he couldn't get back and find allies the Eldrazi would devour Zendikar... and all those people would perish and countless more if they were to escape.
he snapped out of his thinking and stood there for a long moment just staring down the street.

At that same moment, a lone, feminine pegasus was walking in the opposite direction. The pony appeared rather lost, maroon eyes searching the plaza for something. He groaned, shaking his head. "...I have no idea what I'm doing..." He reached into one of his saddlebags and pulled out a map of the city. He sat down to look at it without falling over, stretching his wings to get the kinks out. "...glad I made this thing...I'd be lost otherwise...now...where's that antiques store?"

Gideon blinked.
Did that horse talk? he thought to himself as he approached and stopped a few feet away examining the... Pegasus.
It had wings. Gideon had seen a Pegasus before, but even they didn't talk. He stood there still just staring at the being. until he decided to talk.
"Are you well?" He asked, almost feeling odd that he'd started to talk to a pegasus. Not that his tone revealed that.

The pegasus jumped in surprise, turning to stare at the taller creature. "...um...yes?" He stood up, putting the map back into his bag. "Thanks for asking..." He looked up at him, putting a hoof to his chin. "...are you a human? You look like one...oh, where are my manners?" He held out his foreleg, smiling calmly up at him. "My name's Enigma. What's yours?"

Gideon bent his knees and shook the Pegasus' foreleg. "I'm Gideon Jura... Nice to meet you." He answered politely.
"I am in fact a human, I'm also not of this world." he explained "Also, I asked if you were okay because it looked as though you were distraught."

Enigma rubbed the back of his head, sheepishly smiling. "...I'm sorta lost, Mr. Jura..." He sighed, shaking his head. "...I'm trying to find an antique store, but my map doesn't really have the names of places...just the physical layout of this plaza..."

"I don't think I can be of much help in that regard, Enigma." He said shortly but offered a smile.
"However, I'm new to this place as well, perhaps we should look together?" He offered before standing to his full height. The plate armor he wore making noise as they fell back into place around his body.

Enigma smiled back, nodding genially. "That sounds like a good idea." He looks at the human's armor, curious. "...if I may ask, why do you wear that?" The pegasus paused, putting his hoof to his chin once more and muttering to himself. "...I hope that's socially acceptable..." He silently cursed his lack of social understanding.

Gideon look back down at the Pegasus and chuckled.
"Its armor and I'm a soldier." He explained "Where I come from, I need this to survive. I do not live a very peaceful existence." He paused a moment chewing over his words.
"I fight for the good of all and to bring down evil where ever it shows its head. A lot of people are depending on me." Was his final answer He looked down a moment.
"I apologize. That was probably much too dark for our current surroundings"

The pony shrugged a bit, his smile never fading. "Hey, it's a fact that life isn't all rainbows and sunshine. Even where I'm from - and, considering that I'm from a land of technicolor ponies, that's saying something." He chuckled, flapping his wings and taking to the air. "In short, it's not a problem. Now, how's about we start looking, Mr. Jura?"

'Technicolor' Theres a word Gideon never heard before... Strange how even know He learns more and more about Language.
"Antique's right?" He asked looking around "It probably wouldn't be near food... Nor Equipment vendors." He said aloud as he began to walk.
"I'd say it would most likely be near furniture stores and the like... So if we can find something like that we can probably find our way around."

Enigma looked around as well, noticing all of the clothes stores and restaurants. "...I guess I was searching the wrong area..." He sheepishly chuckled, going just high enough to see over the rooftops. "...let's see...there's a materia vendor..." He turned to the right, eyes narrowing. "...gift shop..." He turned again. "...potions, weapons and equipment..." One more turn. "...an ice cream stand...actually sounds good, right about now..." He sighed, going back down to where Gideon was standing.
He pulled out the map he was looking at earlier, as well as a pencil. Using his mouth, he marked the locations of the stores and wrote down what they appeared to sell. "...four down...untold number more to go..." He chuckled, hoping that sounded as clever as he thought it did.

Gideon politely chuckled "We'll find it eventually." He commented as he continued to walk down the plaza's street glancing at each shop as he passed them.
"Bakery... Produce... Butcher..." he trailed off as he began to notice a pattern.
"We seem to be moving into food... Why don't you fly up and see if you can find a carpenter or something similar." He offered looking back down at Enigma.

Enigma also noticed the butcher's shop, feeling a little ill at the meat he saw hanging in the window. He nodded, quickly rolling up his map and putting it back into his saddlebags. "I'll see what I can find." He flew up once more, examining the stores in the neighboring streets, silently hoping he'd be able to forget about that store.
Eventually, the pegasus saw one building with inventory that seemed close to what Gideon said. He called down to the human, hoping what he saw could help. "I see a smithy next to a materia stand. Do you think that's the right place?"

Gideon nodded to the pegasus "Yeah, that sounds right." He called up beginning to walk further down the street moving to the street with the smithy.
"Good work, Enigma." he gave the Pegasus a quick nod "We'll find your furniture store yet."
