Adelaide decided to visit a small road-side tavern. Not only could she sell her catch to the tavern, but to the customers as well. As long as she had the barkeep's approval. She entered the tavern, barely escaping the rain. Maximus always hated the rain. Adelaide sat down on a bar stool and looked at the barkeep.
"Hello, sir. Care to buy some meat? Fresh from this morning!" Adelaide said. He looked slightly interested. "How much?" He asked, eying her. "Cheapest in the mainland!" She replied. "So how many pounds?" The barkeep chuckled. "You have to let me see it first. For all I know, it's already spoiled."
Adelaide grabbed her backpack and grabbed fresh duck meat. The barkeep looked satisfied. "Deal," He said, handing her a few coins. She exchanged the meat from her backpack and put the coins in a small pouch on her belt. A fat bearded man approached Adelaide.
"Is that meat ya got there?" He asked. "Why, yes. Yes it is. And it can be yours if you like." Adelaide looked at the barkeep, and he shrugged, as if saying 'Why not?'. The man pulled out some coins, and Adelaide gave him some meat in return. After the man left, a Halfling came by and sat down beside her. "I told you you wouldn't make it," The barkeep told her. "I said the storm would be here before you were halfway to the next town."
"Shut up, Ted." The Halfling told him. She then began wringing her hair out over the bar. The storm must've hit already. Adelaide handed Maximus a few steaks wrapped up in paper, and he flew off to find customers. He did that all the time for Adelaide, bringing customers meat and bringing the coins back to her. They had a good business going.
Adele turned to the girl beside her."Hello," She told the girl, extending her hand. "My name is Adelaide. You wouldn't want to buy some meat by any chance?" Adelaide knew she probably wouldn't, but it was worth a shot.
