As it turns out, Wuya isn't the only one to think of scouring thrift shops for magical objects. Kippat, despite not really knowing what a thrift shop is, noticed the variety of items in the window displays of the shop while she was walking down the street. A quick peek into the store revealed even more kinds of items as far as she could see. She decided that surely even these humans must have magical objects, and a good strategy for finding useful ones would be to check places with great variety in goods.

She's returned to the thrift shop with a device for detecting magical energies at close range, since she has no affinity for magic herself. She spends about fifteen minutes scanning miscellaneous objects in the back of the store before she gets frustrated. It occurs to her that she can obviously just ask whoever is managing the shop if they carry any magical things. Why didn't she think of that earlier?

As she weaves around corners toward the shopkeeper, Kippat spots the tall, red-haired woman also searching through items. She seems just as frustrated as Kippat. "You can't find what you're looking for, can you?" There's some disdain in her voice; she didn't speak out of a desire to be helpful.
