This encounter was a curiosity to Irishtu. She had read of the squid Beastkin but seeing one in person was something she certainly didn't expect any time soon. Maybe in one of the smaller settlements on the boarders of Almara, but not in Karstberg - yet here she was, about to buy fruit from one. Irishtu leaned forward, eyes follow as each fruit is placed in front of her, drawn to the rounded Iyokan. She drew out a few coins from her pocket with a jingle of loose change, giving Mizuko another nod. 

"Can't say I could [i]not[/i] use more success." Irishtu mused, bringing her hand to rub her chin. "I'll take one." She declared. She was trying to be adventurous with her tastes, sure, but she wanted to go with the safe bet. It looked a lot like a normal orange with a few differences, so it couldn't be that bad. She looked up from the fruits and back to the merchant girl, tilting her head. 

"How has business been for you in Karstberg? I believe you're the first of your species I've seen in this city." She asked, standing up right once more. She held the air of a noblewoman and an academic rather clearly, her light brown eyes containing a sharp analytical glint to them that could not be hidden behind her frames. "Not too surprising, that. Akitsushima is goodness knows how far."
