Log
The Maritime district s abuzz with activity as commoners come to and fro from the docks, laden with items to trade, and rewards for the bargaining. A few nobles are present as well, finding themselves -loving- the Shralestian fashions being sold, and the value of the incence.
The Foriegn visiters have seemed to take up almost all of the district as well, dozens of stands dotting out and about selling all manner of things from weapons and armor, to food cooked in styles from across the sea! As well, in the center of the district a makeshift platform has been erected by the group, as various groups of their women and even a few men, find their ways to the stage to dance in silk outfits that barely kept them decent. The Visiters themselves seem to be made of of Fennecs, Kangaroo Rats, Pronghorns, and even a spotted Hyena or two that worked to operate the 'alley gambling' that was now taking place as well.
Selena looks over the groups of starstruck locals - aparrently less amazed with the Shralestan goods than one might expect - though certainly intersted, it's clear the majority of them aren't new at all. Perhaps oddly, the wolfess lingers by the section of the imprompty marketplace set up to house the foreign weapons and armor.
Cassidy was, once again, out of her armour and mask, today she was dressed in a light orange silk dress dress with a matching pair of long gloves. A serving woman shuffled alongside her, holding an umbrella over the pair while the vixen's hands were occupied by a basket. As they step under the covering, the serving girl loiters behind while Cassidy herself moved off to see what the buzz was about, gravitating towards the other fennecs.
Flora herself is wearing the very same dress she was wearing when she presented her camera to the king. The dress being in Shralestan style, she'd almost be able to fit in amongst the traders themselves, almost. "Flora has... Missed the food from her old home, yes," she mumbles after a moment of contemplation, grinning as she moves to one of the food-stands.
Siyu grins a bit to himself. His people! Sharlastans! Prehaps even a family member, or another cute rodent might show up there. Somthing different that's for sure. He'll chitters a little bit and swish his hips towards the gathering of of Sharlastans! He's dressed to the hilt, his silks dripping from him, hanging with lace, gold and silver. He has several large crown bags too, ready to buy spice and trade and offer gifts and well wishes. The rodent runs a hand through his long hair and chitters as he looks around! "I can already taste my mouth burning..." he says with a giggle, agreeing with Flora.
Johnny makes his way to the Maritime district with his metal legged friend, prostetics or not no reason he can't be out and about with normal folks. Johnny seems to be very intent to get into view of some good wares, and probably not perform any petty thefts along the course of this outing. He does have crown however, and he does look at all the exotic gear and foods with the willpower he possesses, food smells really good right now but he should look at this armor.
Valor makes his way towards the commotion, wondering what could be causing such a ruckus. Sure there was a foreign ship here, but why this mess? It looked like fun though and he was interested. Maybe he could get some ideas and designs. And possibly other things
One of the Merchants near Selena looks up and grins widely as he spreads his arms out and booms out in a large voice. "LOVELY LADY! Come! Take a look at Black Tuft's wares! I have much to offer in the way of weapons for self defense, and many things that may be of interest yes~" The Merchant a tall Black-Tailed Jackrabbit, which meant he was roughly four and a half feet tall in all actuality. Dressed in fine silked wares, with leather gloves covering his hands as he motions to a variety of staffs, daggers, and even a sword or two. To his right though, is a box marked with a burning hand, that seemed to contain a few papers.
Cassidy doesn't need to walk far to get near the Fennecs it seems, as the dancers on stage are accompanied by a wide variety of fellows in matching dress that move through the crowds with small baskets for crown tips. One of the thinner males, clad in dark blue silk pants, with a see through bit of cloth wrapped around his chest approaches the masked one and holds his own basket up with a grin. "Welcome stranger, we're the traveling preformers known as 'The Sand Furs'... Could I entice you to tip, or would you like to know more of us~?"
Flora and Siyu need not move far for food, as a large Caracal woman whom appeared in her middle age grins and yells out with enthusiasm. "Come one, come all my hungry children! Mama Mombasa is having all the delicious food for you! Falafel, Fattoush, Manakeesh, and other such tasty things! Much better than Spicy Tail's food~!" Her lips turning in a grin as a nearby group of Kangaroo rats settled about cooking fires laugh and make rude gestures to her playfully.
Johnny is soon spotted as well by a Spotted Hyena whom was sitting over a booth filled with leather armor, and crossbows... Even a few vials wrapped in black cloth laying off to the side. "Hey there my friend... Bring yourself to Shashka's eh? You're friend too! My sister dress him up some for you, while you and I talk business eh?"
A pair of Pronghorn Women stop near Valor, dressed in fine white robes, with books of Creator textsin their hands as they grin and speak to him. "Hello friend! Please, you must come under the tarps... Our day is for all the Creator's children!"
Thankfully for all though, the area under the tarp is rather thinning in activity, as most have seemed to departed due to the rain... Though the thick brightly colored tarps, help to ensure most everyone is safe fromt he rain!
Selena hazards a look back over the bazaar for a moment, offering a wave over to Flora, Cassidy and Johnny. Perhaps surprisingly enough ending up greeting the rat first. "Johnny, wasn't it?" She greets quietly, pulling a pair of white gloves from her bag - though their material could be anything - slipping them on before taking a careful look over the wares at the booming merchant's store - yes; definitely a bazaar. "It's good to see you again - I'd like to apologize for how rude I was the last time I saw you - at the gates during the riot. I was a little shocked." She notes.
She does eventually approach the exotic weapons merchant, gesturing to the daggers. "You don't mind if I take a closer look, do you?"
Cassidy gives a polite wave towards Selena, ears perking at the mention of 'weapons'. She'd have to check that out, later! But for now, the noble vixen turns back to the fennec speaking to her and smiles. "Performers, huh? Well... I could be enticed to tip, yes..." She smiles kindly and produces a 100-crown coin and sets it into his basket. "Why don't you tell me more? It's not often I see others of my type, you know! Especially not out here, and it has been ages since I've visited the distant family in Shralesta."
Cassidy spends 100 Crown for RP reasons.
A grin, a tailflick as Flora slinks over towards the feline, a grin as she looks over the wares. "Flora will have a small taste first, yes? Then Flora will decide if miss... Mombasa speaks the truth, yes yes, and Flora will see if the price is right before buying anything," she mumbles, ears flicking. "Flora will... Have a bit of shoarma and a bit of doner. Those slices," she mumbles, gesturing faintly at a few specific slices, even as she eyes the prices warily. "The price seems... Much too high, yes."
Siyu chuckles a little bit and he lips his lips, looking over, Spicy Tail huh? Well a group of kangaroo rats, and he grins and winks to the Caracal, and then will swish his hips over towards the group, "Ah brothers, welcome, welcome, I hope you find Sweetwater well." he wets his lips, "Please let me taste somthing that will set my soul afire!" he grins and giggles rolling a fat 100 crown coin around, hoping to have some fun with his countrymen, and blood. He runs a hand through his long hair again, just smiling and glancing around. If he's lucky there may even be some creator artifacts around, broken as they may be. And prehaps these merchants have not heard of the fresh news reguarding them if they just arrived today. He grins some, "The travels see you well? Good tidings? Good buisness." he does casually look around for any "sisters" that may be around, while setting the golden crown down.
Siyu spends 100 Crown for RP reasons.
Johnny glances from his friend to Selena, waving with a bit of a smile to the smart one who'd been helpful in his late outings. "Hey, yeah I'm Johnny, nice to see ya too. Never caught your name, but s'alright no harm right?" he says before he agres to approach Shashka and insepect their wares, his friend seems far less enthusiastic about the meeting. "Drus me up?" he slurs a bit uneducatedly before Johnny jabs him in the side. "I mean ah, dress me up? I don't need no dress." He etakes a moment to eye the vials and then the crossbows. "Crossbows... half my gang used to carry em, people hate when you fire alot of them at once. An then we had a few dark magic guys, real nasty combination. Course it didn't help them much. What are you asking?"
Valor smiles, very much pleased that someone had taken notice of him. He does take heed of their words and joins them under the tarp. He shakes his head, shaking the water from his mane. He follows the two Pronghorns, interested in what might be in those books, as he loved to learn. And eat as well, as he made a mental note to check out the wonderful smells coming over from Siyu and Flora's direction. They get a polite nod, and he spots the various weapon dealers. Gods, there was so much to do and see! But first, these white-robbed females got his attention, as they had invited him under the tarp so, being polite, giving his full attention to the pair of Pronghorns.
"Aaaaah but of course lovely lady~ I ask that you not wander with them though... I've had a few attempt so already!" The Jackrabbit laughing gently as he leans back some, his wares well crafted, if not a little over dressed it seemed. Ornate carvings in the handles depicting local wildlife to the Desert nation, along with some that had creator text attached to them. All but a few of his weapons carry markings along it's length for creator fire runes... Though there is an interesting whip of all things, that was sporting a gilded wrapping around the handle and appeared more for show than actual fighting.
Cassidy's donation almost makes the man drop his backet, before he collects himself and lets out a sharp whistle... Another male, and female slinking their way through the crowd, the female taking his basket to the back before returning as well. Both of the new comers move to grasp her Cassidy's hands, as the original one moves behind her to help 'motivate' her forward. "Gladly~! To Start, I am Rahbi, And this is my sister and brother Maxah'ni, and Lest'li~ Not related by blood mind you! Come come, we'll take you to relax behind the stage with us!" With how they were pushing, it didn't seem to be an option either...
Mama Mombasa puffs her chest out heavily as Flora mentions the prices, before moving her serving tool to flick the two desired pieces up, catch them on a small wooden plate, and hold them out for her to pick from said plate. "Mama Mombasa makes only finest foods! I do not try and hide flavor behind spice... And for price, it is the price! If the little one thinks she can haggle with Mama Mombasa, she is welcome to try!" The woman giving a broad and devious grin, as her assistant, a -smaller- fennec then most, covers his face with his hand.
Siyu's arrival is met with loud cheering from the group of three, the lead cook standing up as she brushes her hands off. "Welcome Brother! We will burn the impurities of the souls away... I am the chef Mazavi, and my Brothers are with me... Bastu! Give the brother some of our Kofta!" At her command, the smallest of the group rushes forward with a plate of the spicy food already skewered for the customer!
"Yes yes, Crossbows are nice yes? I tell you what, you are smart yes, so I show you a crossbow that fire alot at once! I work the clips too, so they go in a little faster, and you can shoot more with greater speed!" The Hyena reaching down to pull up a large repeating crossbow, as a female hyena makes her way out, holding leather with what looks to be bits of cloth made to resemble fur vaguely as she compares themto his friends colorings...
"You are a silent one sir! We see many of the Creators Children today wandering the streets... And have made certain to pay our dues while here of course. The architexture was lovely, but not much to our home... Tell me friend, do you visit your Church often?" THe two Pronghorns Flicking their tails as they look to the silent Valor.
Selena nods back to Johnny. "I'm Selena. Again, sorry I wasn't very talkative. I was more than a little shocked by what happened." She replies, shaking her head. First, a dagger's inspected. Then another, and another before she finally takes a look at the unusual whip critically. "Could you tell me something about these and the text on the daggers?" She asks - "The unfortunate thing about these is that very few beings here are familiar with creator text. I've only seen a little when I did some work on restoring a book about... A little over a year ago, I think. And I wasn't given any full translation."
Cassidy slides her own basket up to her elbow before allowing the other fennecs to take her hand, easily ushered along by the three. "Oh, well, it is nice to meet you three! I am Cassidy. I'd love to relax with you! So, what do you three do, exactly? You said you were performers? Do you sing, or dance? Both? Something else? I'd love to know more!" She seems genuinely curious and quite pleased.
"Flora is quite sure the price is too high, yes. The food, however, is not bad... Now, Flora understands wanting to make some money, but... A profit-margin of twice the costs of the meat AND the runes needed to heat it up... Flora would deem that a bit much, no?"
She grins for a moment, gesturing at the numbers, before leaning back on the spot. "Now, since miss Mombasa took the effort of bringing Flora food from her old home... Flora is offering a profit-margin of... Ten percent. Should be more than enough to account for whatever part of the food spoiled on the way here as well," she adds. "Miss Mombasa's choice."
Siyu claps his hands together as the coin is left on the table, "Ah hahaha. Very good very good..." he rubs his hands together again, "Tell me Sister, are there any interesting spice merchants I should visit? I need vanilla bean, chile and peppers, saffron and tea..." he mmms, "I am doing quite well for myrself, in fact, I'm interested in any sort of...well, ancient artifacts. The creators have sparked some new interest in me, and if any of your caravan know where I could buy some, broken or not, I'll offer a fine finders fee..." he winks. "I will treat my countrymen, and cousins right. After all, I never know who my first wife's family will be!" he chitters to himself as he takes the meal. Grining and biting into it. Feeling the spice, the heat, a flush of saliva, his brown turning red, his ears, his face turning crimson, and he lets out a sound of adulation. Even in the pain he loves it. "Ah...that is the taste of home..." He sees some of the dacers and he giggles, shaking his hips as his mouth is aflame, "Prehaps I should go get fitted for such a thing. It would make for some amusments no?"
Johnny can't help but laugh briefly as the lady starts comparing material to his one remaining gang members fur. He tries to hold back a wise crack as he nods to the Hyena. "Alright, I think I know someone who can use a repeating crossbow. Let's see what you've got, hopefully it's somethin that will make me suggest your name to others huh?" he says with a grin. Arms for enforcement, long as he's watching these enforcers he can afford to equip them with anything he likes, no risk for corruption with a solid intent organizer. "An yeah it's no problem, really Selena, nice to know yer name."
Valor didn't realize they had expected an answer. He sputtered in embarrassment, his ears flattening as he smiled in an embarrassed manner. "R-right! Umm.... A few times, but not as much as I really should." He admits, the embarrassed look slowly sliding away, replaced with a intelligent look that he wore when he was learning and listening. "I am a very busy being, and don't get to mass as much as I should. That and I was not raised going to to regular mass..." He says, looking a little embarrassed again.
"Ah yes yes of course pretty lady! The ones with the writing I have incribed upon them from the churches back home, as I myself am not one whom should be handling such texts... No, they are told to me, to be quotes pretaining to the First Texts words upon Violence... And how one should hold themselves, to resolve their issues other ways, instead of falling to such a thing quickly. A warning of responsibility I should say?" His hands then moving to the whip as he holds it up some for her to see before clearing his throat. "It is not a weapon as many here would call one such... But rather, items such as this are used by experienced individuals in displays of martial prowess, where they do things like whipping a candle to cease the flame, without moving the wax. Some are able to use it in combat though, and they use it to trip or stagger their opponents, so that they do not cause much harm."
The entertainers laugh as they continue to lead her back and behind the stage, a few of the dancers blowing her a kiss as she passess before resuming their dance. The area behind the dancers is filled with pillows and another tarp to ensure the area stays dry even more so, while serving as a spot to hang thin see through silk down around it. In the center of the spot, is a strange metal device with a variety of smoldering coals burning in a small entrapment at the top. Four long metal bits, with leather wrapped around certain joints to afford it the ability to bend without losing whatever it was supposed to send through it. "Myself and Lest'li are Dancers, and mainly work to draw the eyes of many with beauty like yours... While Maxah'ni is a signer, whom works to ensure your ears are filled with only the best we can offer~" Rahbi says as he tries to lead her to a seat, where all three would sit damn near on her lap at.
Mama Mombasa furrows her brow and leans forward a she speaks with an authoratative voice. "Thirty percent Mama will accept... Many was lost, and more snatched up and stolen!" Her assistant blinking some as he listens to Flora, before hiding behind Mombasa.
Siyu is given a laughter of cheering and laughter from his fellows before Mazavi leans forward with a smirk. "Are you trying to strike a deal with me stranger? I'll have you know my father is not here to negotiate now~!" The woman laughing ina teasing tone before giving a nod and clapping her hands. Another of her brothers running a cup of each spice up for her to display. "Feel, taste, see! We have much to sell for spices, as not many desire to try their taste by fire~ As for artifacts... No, none I am afraid. We are all just cooks and workers!"
The Hyena grins as he stands and sets the crossbow and clip infront of Johnny, moving the clips around quickly as he counts the time... And sure enough, it -is- a couple seconds quicker. "I cannot shoot here, no no... Guards will have my hide on the wall! But I offer deal yes? Buy from me, and I throw in three clips of bolts with Burning Sand poison on them eh~?" The Hyena grinning some, as the woman gives a nod and begins to pull out a needle to sew with as she makes crude sleeves to cover the prosthetic legs.
"You do not?! Oh my! You -must- change such sir! The Church is a wonderful place to discuss, and learn amongst each other!" Both nodding to Valor before they open their coppies of the first text for him to see. "If you wish, we will sell you your own first text copy... Written by a high ranking member of the port's church! This way you can study better than we can say hm~?"
Selena peers at the whip for a few more moments. "Hmm. Well, you can understand my confusion. It looks closer to something ceremonial than a weapon, and to see it at a weapons stall is certainly unusual." She notes, setting it back down carefully. "But I don't have use for it, unfortunately." The woman looks over some of the other weapons present, taking another of the daggers up to continue perusing the more 'normal' section of the display.
Cassidy eagerly allows herself to be ushered into a seat, eyeing the device as she sets her basket down, arms wrapping around the three fennecs as she smiles. "I see! Well, you have certainly made me feel welcome! And I greatly enjoy your company! Perhaps I might get to hear your lovely voice later, as well?"
"Flora offers ten percent, and nothing more," the cat mumbles, before shaking her head, tails swaying behind her. "One wouldn't want to pass up the chance of telling back home that miss Mombassa held the honor of serving nobles, yes? Would make for good publicity, Flora thinks?" she murrs with a smirk, momentarily flashing her signet-ring to add to her point. "But of course, if Miss Mombasa prefers Flora has another lime from Flora's bag..." she adds, turning around and indeed rummaging through her bag.
Siyu ahhhs a little bit and he licks his lips, "Strike a deal, prehaps. I am the son of a merchant caravan, I know full well the wiles of a female merchant." the young, short, pretty faced rodent winks, but he grins and reaches for more spice. "yes but you've traveled with the others. I mean, if you were to help me find someone amoung the grou phere that had a few artifacts...and assisted me in buyiing them I would give you a generous finders fee...just an offer. We must stick together after all and keep ourlines strong." he bows his head politely again, "You'll do well selling delicacies here though, these spices are not found in Sweetwater at all. Though their own crops are bountiful!" he mmmms and licks his lips. "Prepare me a sampling of spices. A cask each, dried and seal. I'll approve most sampling, pure spices please, though I am sure you have a special family blend. I'll take ONE cask of the family bled. The rest pure, and we shall now debate price yes?" he smiles happily. So much like home!
Johnny grins and nods. "Alright, deal. How much you asking for this piece of work?" he quizzes as he checks that his hair is slicked enough before giving his buddy a thmbs up as he eyes the ladies handiwork. "That's not too bad, like you still had something there. What do you think?" he asks as his friend seems extremely happy with the results.
Valor scratches his chin at the pair's offer. "Hmm.... What exactly are you asking for such a valuable copy of the First Text?" He asks, looking between the pair. Surely they would not be scamming him, as well dressed and friendly as they were. And about selling the First Text as they were. He looks around momentarily, eying the food again and then the weapons. He had plenty of crown, but a copy of the First Text might be a more valuable than food or weaponry.
The merchant frowns some before looking over his shoulder and clearing his throat. "Xaxu! Man the stall for Papa!" His hands picking up the whip as he moves around, his son taking his spot instead as the Jackrabbit extends it for Selena to see while making sure he was clear. "Anything in this world may be a weapon you must understand pretty lady..." The Jackrabbit turning on a heel as he lashes the whip out with a resounding crack! A burst of bright flames residing in the air from the impact zone, before he spins once more and cracks the whip twice in the air before swinging it's length in slow circles so that the flames are continuosly tracing in the air as he speaks. "It is decorated, because we search for beauty! Your weapons are cold and hard... Made to be something with a single purpose, to kill and harm. Ours serve many, be it to entertain, or to serve a serious purpose! This whip may amaze many, and at the same time, perfect for scaring small thugs away!" His child nodding as the younger one holds out a small short sword lacking a proper handguard... Three rings are bolted into the back of the blade, and it seems more for decoration than not. Along it's handle it has a star carved in it, painted a gentle gold to show it off.
The three Fennecs grin as the singer is nudged, the man standing up and moving to the side as he picks up a small drum and begins to tap a rhythym before begining to sing for them, as the female rises as well to begin to dance... Leaving only Rahbi in Cassidy's lap as he reaches up to stroke her chin gently. "Why not hear it now? For friends, we offer our talents away from public display... We can dance, sing, smoke some Hashish, and delight in a paradise~"
Mama Mombasa huffs some and waves her serving tool. "A noble yes? I see... Then in good will, Mama Mombasa convinced to lower it... Fifteen percent. I give you more leeway and you enjoy the food. Ten percent is no though, just too little for Mama Mombasa!" Her assistant whispering up to her, and causing her a momentary look of confusion.
"Ah... If we knew of such items out of the churches grasp, we'd have already told them... I'm terribly sorry, but yes business! One cask each..." Her hand motioning to her brothers whom are quick to run to the back and bring forth a cask of each spice desired for him, along with one in a black container with a red X painted over it. "You wish to talk prices then? Very well... One hundred and fifty thousand crowns."
"Ah yes... Good good! Special deal is working for you? Then I make it better! This piece here, is only eight thousand crown yes... Pluss five hundred for all the bolts yes. Your friends modifications? Eh... Fifty crowns for that is fair I am thinking." The Hyena giving a nod, and a wide grin as he looks to the Rat.
"Oh we'd not ask terribly much no... But as it is written by a higher member, we ask only one thousand crowns for the copy. It is signed inside the cover for authenticity, and would be wonderful for any family to hand to their children!" The women nodding to Valor as they open it to show the signature.
Selena chuckles quietly and nods back to the man moves and gives a very visible demonstration of his wares. "Don't misunderstand me - I'm well aware that anything can be a weapon as unfortunate as it is. While beauty is admirable, I know no beings that fight with whips or perform with them and my first priority in purchasing a weapon is going to be if they can be used by the intended recipient. Then I consider functionality and quality." She replies, rubbing her cheek. "And it's a rare craftsperson that produces both." Finally settling on a small dagger after checking the engraving's depth and fill. "How much would you charge for this?"
Cassidy smiles a little and nods. "I've never smoked before, but... Well, I'd love to hear the singing now, of course! You're all so delightful. I'll most certainly tip all three of you well for giving me such a delightful evening, but I hope the company I give in return is just as nice!"
A tailflick, a mumble, a shake of the head. "Flora will have to make do with her limes then, yes," she mumbles after a moment of feigned contemplation. "As much as Flora enjoys the food from her old home, Flora does not intend to pay more than ten percent for the work done preparing it... Perhaps Flora can help Lady Lina figure out how to make doner and shoarma, yes. Friend Sveta's a good cook too, yes," she mumbles, taking another bite from the green citrus-fruit.

Perhaps Flora can help Lady Lina figure out how to make doner and shoarma, yes. Friend Sveta's a good cook too, yes," she mumbles, taking another bite from the green citrus-fruit.
Siyu smiles, "Write me an invoice, with weights and names, and we shall call it done...and I shall offer you 200,000." he holds his hand out. "Blessed be your trading and your travels. This caravan merchant finds sucess in a city now. I offer you clear skies, and full water barrels. And prehaps the next time you see a trader in need you shall pass it on. We stand unbroken upon the road, I am Gang Xi Siyu, if you see my family tell them I grow strong and rich when I put down roots." he smiles happily. That is a LOT of spice, even for personal use. "Anyone else I should talk to. Any recomendations amoung the fellow traders here"
The rat grins and pulls free a large bag of crowns, tossing them over for the rather fair business exchange. "I'll say thats a good deal, here you go. I'll be sure to mention you so you get more traffic, seems like the least I can do for a special exchange." he says and looks to his friends modifications.
Valor smiles, thinking. 1000 crown was a lot but he made plenty of crown for his work. "Of course. That sounds like a good price... And if only I had a family and children to bring it to. But I will cherish it nonetheless." He says, smiling and fishing out the required coin from his sporran, raising his eyebrows at the show that the jackrabbit and his show that he was putting on for Selena.
The Jackrabbit works the whip to a slow before snagging the end in his hand, to begin curling it up with a gentle smile to Selena. Shrugging gently, as his display at the least seems to have enticed a few others whom are now approaching his stall, as he slips behind it to set the whip down as he clears his throat and looks to the dagger with a smile. "The Dagger there? Hmmm... You're smart, so I will not play much games with you. One thousand crown." The merchant crossing his arms as he nods, with his son soon mimicing him.
The Singer continues his work by cassidy, filling the air with a rather silky smooth voice, as the female shimmies and shakes gently in a belly dancing routine for Cassidy as Rahbi reaches out to pull one of the metal pipes to his mouth... Taking a nice long drag on it before he blows three rings of sweet fruity smelling smoke, before offering the pipe to her with a grin as his tail flicks. "Ooooh~? Well lovely lady, stay with us and we shall see~!" The man giving a short wink before whispering gently into her ear.
Mama Mombasas grunts some as she pulls the boy from behind her and points to Flora. "This is the one then? BAH! Be going to the back now, and ready next batch silly one." She huffs and looks back to Flora before narrowing her eyes. "... Ten percent, and Mama gets the limes then. You drive hard bargain... But for simple extra payment, I sell recipe card to you." The large woman nodding as she grins slightly at that.
Siyu's offer causes the woman to blink and furrow her brow as he offers -more- than what was put on the table... Ah well, it must've been caused by being with the people here. "Well... Very well then! We shall take your offer, and may the sun always shine bright, and the nights never darken too much for you Gang Xi Siyu, if we run across them, we shall inform them of your success!" The woman nodding to her brothers before clearing her throat as she turns back to him. "As for recomendations? Be careful with the Sand Furs... If you tip them too much, they'll think you want to join them." The woman chuckling before motioning closer to the water. "Down there, you can get some of the imported Liquor though, what we didn't sell to the inns that is." Her brother returning with a invoce written and prepared up, as she hands it to him with all the desired information.
"AH! You please Shashka! Please please, enjoy the weapon yes..." The Hyena sliding the crossbow forward some, as he hands the bag to a younger Hyena, whom begins to open and count it for the male as the female goes to wrap Johnny's friend into a tight hug, before giving him a kiss on the cheek and stepping back. "You tell many about Shashka's wares yes!! Eh... Not mentioning the poison though, I am not guard, you are not guard, but someone may be, and would yell at Shashka." The Hyena nodding as he loads the clips for Johnny.
The women grin to each other, before pulling another book from their bags to hold out to Valor. Waiting for him to take it in hand before moving to each side of him to plant a kiss on both cheeks as they step away. "Creators watch over you good sir! Do enjoy the bazaar for today~" Quickly heading off with their payment in hand as they hide with strange ease in the crowd.
Siyu spends 200000 Crown for RP reasons.
Cassidy looks skeptically at the pipe for a moment before taking it to puff softly on it. "I think... I think I'd love to take you up on your offer, yes. You're all quite lovely, and your singing voice is magnificent, sir. As is your dancing, miss! I haven't been able to properly relax in ages, really."
Valor spends 1000 Crown for RP reasons.
Selena looks back up at the merchant incredulously. "One thousand?" She replies, reaching into her bag for some crown and turning up the one thousand requested.

The rat companion tries to play it off all smooth, Johnny has to give him credit. "It was a pleasure doing business with ya, seeya around." he says to Shashka, and proceeds on his way.
Valor blushes hard at the kisses, holding the book close. He opens it up and checks to make sure that the book is genuine. They were right. He smiles and puts the book under his arm, drifting into the crowd to sample the food and look at the wares, all the while keeping an eye on his sporran.
