"Oh, I see," Ariel replied to Rukeewei. Ariel wanted to help, but she wasn't so confident in making a suggestion at first. It was clear that she didn't know Neercana-Rei that well and with what Rukeewei mentioned, it all seemed very difficult. Her first thought came to the bars of soap that she used to sell and that many people in Vos seemed to want gift wrapped, but she quickly dismissed that idea. Bars of soap were horrible gifts, even she knew that. Still, perhaps Rukeewei was over-thinking this. Ariel began to think out loud, suggesting things as they came to mind, "Hmm, so you're sure there aren't any special pins or thread she might want? Some sort of decoration for her store? Oh! does she enjoy wine? I had friends in Vos who seemed to know how to appreciate it far more than I ever could, and not just for the intoxication. Taste, texture, all this jargon I never understood. I would often need to have the merchants make recommendations to me for what to buy, but getting a special wine seemed to garner appreciation for birthdays. Wait! I know! Perhaps a book?" Ariel paused for a moment, recalling something in that moment that might be more useful, "Neercana-Rei did actually mention that she was fond of her memories of the festival as a child, perhaps there's something special in an item that could bring that memory forth again." Ariel held her palms out while she explained, then shrugged, "I'm not sure what the common activities of hatchlings are at this place, but... it's a thought?" It wasn't until then that Ariel realised that she was probably being overbearing, she looked away nervously "But, sorry, I-I should let you continue..."

At first, Fendros didn't really mind the Bosmer. These sideshow types often made a living by posing challenges that appeared easy but had a hidden impossibility to them. It was a swindle most of the time, but it could be a bit of fun all the same. Fendros chuckled at how quickly Ahnasha became worked up by the man. Her competitive spirit came forth with a vengeance, especially after suggesting that Ahnasha was less capable in her pregnancy. Who knows, perhaps this Bosmer would have his challenge defeated? After all, Ahnasha was the best archer Fendros knew of. He smiled as Ahnasha accepted the challenge. This could be interesting. It wasn't as if they were losing anything by it, except possibly some of Ahnasha's pride. Before she stepped forward, Fendros held Ahnasha by her shoulder for a moment and leaned forward. "Spring this elf's trap before he knows you're caught and I'd say he'll be in for a surprise," he murmured before letting her go.
