Ariel took a seat for herself at the table as Meesei asked her about suppliers. "That might take a while to set up completely, but I have a few avenues to investigate." Ariel replied with a calm tone, "Back in Vos, my main suppliers were local hunters and farmers. The former to make a few extra coins on top of their game, and the latter wanting to make a profit on what were essentially weeds to them. I also had to network with caravans and sea merchants in order to get rarer or foreign ingredients. I was introduced to a couple of farmers by Rukeewei yesterday that might provide a starting point. Finding hunters shouldn't be too difficult. The travelling merchants will, of course, take a while to build relations with. However, there was also another possibility I saw," Ariel stopped for a moment to brush some hair out of her eyes that she had not kept restrained when she tied it up earlier, her face was contemplative, "I remember you mentioning that local Argonian villages were nomadic. That they moved around. I was wondering if they would be willing to trade if they came by Thorn. If I could get ingredients from deeper in the marshes, I might be able to make some quite exclusive things." She waved one hand, "If it's a good idea, I doubt it has not been done before, but it's no reason not to try."

Ariel smiled faintly, "I've had to deal with suppliers before, but finding new ones hasn't been something I've done in a while. And this time the locals just see me as a stranger, rather than... you know, my former position. That might change things."
