Discuss your options

Tia sits down next to you, making sure to keep her knees tight together and crossing her arms over her chest.

You ignore it for now and focus on the conversation. "So, do you have any leads?"

"Any leads? I know exactly who has my panties!"

"Okay. First of all, unless you want people to find out, you maybe wanna avoid saying that in the middle of the town square." You think for a moment before continuing. "But I'll make you a deal. We focus on getting to Cleartide for now and if anyone notices before the end of the day I'll give you your panties back."

"Can't you just give them to me now?"

"Well, I could, but I think we'll both enjoy it more this way." You just catch Tia turning red, before she manages to hide in the hood of her cloak. "Besides, you can't put them on here and we don't have time to go change somewhere. If we wanna get anything done today, we better get started. So... leads?"

"I would feel better just having them back, but fine. And no I don't have any leads at the moment. I thought we might ask at the store. They might know about merchants traveling to the city."

Okay, maybe she isn't as hopeless as she seems.

"Good idea, I wanted to check it out anyway. I found two ways we could try. First, we could ask at the church, apparently they are very involved in the community. Secondly, we could talk to the town leader, Aldis, he might be able to help us. What do you think?"
