Ves tried to be more purposeful when he continued his shopping spree.
He stuck to his goal of purchasing rare and expensive presents for his wife and children while also remaining on the lookout for more functional goods.
However, many of the items for sale did not appeal to him for a variety of reasons. There were lots of high-tech gadgets that could make his life more convenient, but he did not trust their manufacturers to refrain themselves from installing backdoors into their products.
Although this was not a reason to reject the use of any tech that did not originate from himself and his clan, he would rather avoid the use of unnecessary technologies if he could easily do without the extra convenience.
As Ves continued his shopping spree while accompanied by an abundance of guards, he did not forget that he was also being followed by his cousin.
