Cosmo would arrive before Cobalt's apartment complex. As she had promised, the doorman would let him in.

As he stepped in, any who observed him would see him wearing a black, form-fitting unitard made of material designed to retain heat, with openings for his wings and tail. Upon that he had light metal bracers on his cannons. A similar plate across his barrel held on by leather straps across his back and loin. The metal was not the like to endure a sustained assault, but it was light and would protect him from a stray projectile or blow. Above that he'd have a loose, chestnut-colored, water-proof coat with a high collar, hood with ear holes, long, baggy sleeves, coattail that would extend down to the back of his cannons to keep his rear section protected, and holes for both his tail and wings that, while it would aid in keeping him warm, was primarily designed to keep out the elements so that his unitard would remain dry and functional. Lastly, a material similar to that of the coat, but significantly lighter was sown on to his coat. While his wings lie dormant, the material would fall over his wings and keep them both warm and dry. Meanwhile, when in flight, the material would fold upon his back, giving his wings proper room to flap. These pesasus flaps had cost more than the rest of the attire combined due to the quality of material required to make them, and left him with little money left over that he spent on saddle bags designed for travel, and enough rations in them to feed himself a good month or two (some of which came from his personal foodstuffs at the shop). What bits remained in his coin purse (not many) would rest along side his quill and traveling journal, which he intended to make great use of on his journeys to aid him in making his game if he should ever return.

Fortunately, the snow had ceased to fall, so his hood currently lie upon his back. He didn't have to fight with removing it from his head (it was tedious for him to pull it from over his ears). While the last time he had stepped through here he had felt unworthy, this time seemed almost surreal. After a week of preparation and waiting, it seemed almost like a dream to be this close to beginning the journey. He hadn't heard from his employer the entire week, but, regardless of if she still wished to travel or not, he was prepared and ready.

He remembered the way to her room well enough, and when he stood before her door he'd raise a hoof and proceed to knock. Eventually, when he had saved up some money, he intended to buy some weighted hoof-gauntlets for moments where combat was inevitable and some extra weight behind his kicks would be welcome. A concern for another day. He'd spent more this week than he thought he'd ever have until the sun rose in the sky once more, and at times he almost felt a little guilty to be so fortunate when others were so desperate, but he had to remind himself that he made the effort to find employment and sustain himself, rather than begging and looking for a handout. His pride told him that he had earned what he had now, and the rest waited anxiously for the door to open.
