The sun was starting to set on another successful day for the merchants of Sweetwater. Stalls were being packed up, merchandise being put away... Except for one stall that was just completly crowded. "Step right up! Be one of the few people in your family to try out our miracle cure!" The Owner shots, a rather grisly looking Rabbing with a missing eye as he brandishes a bottle of the so called cure.

Among the beings farthest from the rabbit is a small, somewhat chewed up looking ferret who's jumping around and trying to get a decent peek at the merhandise. Though it's an admitedly difficult task, being as short as he his. Rye eventually starts to shoulder his way through the crowd, muttering things about city dwellers and how they lack in basic manners.

Rixo was enjoying her self-given day off, for the most part. For once she was not in her armour, and was instead dressed in a simple outfit of black pants and teal shirt. The claims of such a curative caught her attention, and after finishing her purchase of a skewer of food, she started to make her way over.

In a not so far off stall from all the commotion, a bear attempting to pack up his various items all sale is having a casual conversation with a coat wearing lion from first glance. Together, they seem to be talking and laughing like a good pair of friends usually would. Eventually, the bear hands over a small looking bag from his merchandise and waves off, finally having packed his things up. With glee, the tall feline fellow thanks the bear and grabs at the bag as if it held pounds of expensive metals. In such a state of happiness, Dio nearly hops and skips over to the commotion and eventually pushes his way into the crowd. "Oooh! Oooh!" He shouts, waving his long arms in the air. "What is it? What does it do?"

As the Ferret and the lion push their way through the crowd their are shouts and complaints. "Hey, watch where you are going. Be careful!" A few mutter, catching the Rabbits attention and causing him to throw a glance over to a wolf standing next to his stall. "Why, what doesn't it do is the question. It cures anything and everything that you can think of. Arthritis, the common cold. You name it, feeling tired? Just take a drink of this miracle cure, it will fix you right up." He shouts for all to hear in response to Dio's question.

Arthritis? Rye's mind wanders to thoughts of his dear sweet mother as he finally gets to the front of the crowd. "What about the mange?" He asks curiously as he scratches his side. Though the ferret certainly doesn't have mange. No sir.

Rixo shuffles along to catch up to the lion, as he is one of the few that she recognizes. "Hey, do you know what's going on here? I'm not sure how long you've been watching." Rixo turns her eyes back to the peddler, occasionally nipping off one of the grilled treats on the skewer.

"Oh! Sorry 'bout that lad!" Dio continues to shout and certainly doesn't seem to pay any mind to the people he pushed aside. It appears he asked the wrong question. "Okay then lad. What doesn't this thing do?" While normally this would be a sarcastic sort of question, Dio looked quite legitimate while asking it. He looks down to the panda bear and smiles to her. "Ahh, why 'ello there lass. 'fraid I just got 'ere myself."

Shaytalis is a bit late arriving. Finding the ferret surrounded by the other folks, she asks, "Are you the individual with the medication?"

"It doesn't give you warts, I can tell you that." The Rabbit shot back, giving Dio that same smile he had been giving everyone else before he turns to Rye. "Mange? Well let me ask you this, do I look like I have mange?" He leans down close to Rye, scratching at his fur to show that there was nothing wrong with it. "And that's all because I've been using this stuff." Chuckling the Rabbit stands back up straight, and turns to...blink as he notices a shadow. "I'm selling the miracle cure yes, are you looking to buy some?"

Nodding his head at the merchant, the Rye concedes to the rabbit's flawless logic and takes a peek inside his coin purse with a small grimace. Well this presents a challenge. Miracle cures aren't cheap right? "Uhh, exactly how much crown is a bottle?" The ferret idly scratches at his side again and looks up at the rabbit questioningly. "My dear sweet mother wouldn't want me spending my coin foolishy 'ya know."

Rixo strokes the underside of her chin, nodding. "I don't have much that needs curing, really, but I'm curious of the cost, as well! Such a thing usuall isn't cheap." The food now gone, she resorts to just gnawing on the skewer itself.

"Doesn't give ya warts? Wow! What else can't this wonderful thing do?" Dio looks over the crowd and notices another familiar face, though his attention was a bit too drawn at the moment. Bubbling with excitement, the lion pushes his way even further into the crowd, now taking a position at the front in close proximity to the merchant. "Yer quite a salesman, lad. But I'm a smart consumer! Dare ya show a demonstration of sorts," he asks, boiling with energy and crouching down slightly with his hands tacked onto his knees.

Shaytalis nods to the salesman at first, but then looks to the others who seem suspicious of him. She looks to him again, "There are people who are ill, locally. Have the doctors turned down your treatments?"

The Rabbit gives Dio a worried glance, before he smiles. "My good sir, I would love to. But even I can not speed up the passage of time, it takes an hour for the elixer to take effect." He smiles softly, before he turns to Shaytalis and chuckles. "I know that people here are ill, it's why I set up shop here. I've been selling the cure and been to busy to go and seek a doctor."

"Well, my mother said never to buy something without proof it works." The ferret looks up at the rabbit again and bites his lip. "Hmm. I'll buy a bottle I guess. Couldn't hurt to try. I think..." Oh what would his mother say if she saw him now!

Rixo raises her brow and hums to herself. "I suppose that's not a bad price. What happens if we find an ailment that it doesn't treat? Should we inform you so that you can try to alter the recipe?"

Dio leans in close to the bunny, closing one eye and letting out a gentle and faint humming sound.
