[quote=Vanessa][color=lightblue]"Curious. I've never seen a merchant who so readily abandon her livelihood to the hands of complete strangers. Was the smell of the knight [i]that[/i] intoxicating?"[/color][/quote]

The Gyoubu Danuki shrugged, appearing not to catch the jab. "[color=coral]Definitely intoxicating to my Salamander employer.[/color]" She replied. "[color=coral]She paid a pretty penny to help her snag The Incubus Knight, you know? Didn't know there's be rivals though, but I suppose that really shouldn't be a surprise considering the target.[/color]" Putting her hands on her hips, she continued. "[color=coral]That said, that shouldn't be a detriment to business, you know? I'm still setting up shop in the capital and you can come buy stuff from me anytime.[/color]"

"[color=brown]I assume you're just gonna sell them shoddy goods to sabotage them?[/color]" Katelyn piped in.

"[color=coral]Sorry, boss, but you're gonna have to pay extra if you want me to get in the way of love.[/color]" The tanuki monster shrugged again.

"Anyway, this is Vanessa. I've hired her to help me with Aun." Iskah decided to introduce her Dark Mage ally. "Well, it's more like she answered my fliers at the promise of a reward."

"[color=coral]That's also called 'hiring'.[/color]" Rie pointed out.

"Whatever!"

Katelyn the Masked Salamander then wrapped a friendly arm around Vanessa. "[color=brown]Well, it's nice to meet you, Vanessa! Cool hat, by the way![/color]" She remarked. "[color=brown]May the best team win, eh? I hope you're playing for keeps 'cause my group isn't going to let up until I get to duel Aun.[/color]" She told the Dark Mage.

Iskah picked up on a word in the last sentence. "Group? There's more than you two?"

"[color=brown]Yep! I've got, like, four companions including Rie![/color]" Katelyn happily replied.
