"Very well." Meesei said, nodding affirmatively as she stood up and began collecting her belongings. Not only would selling some of what they collected grant them much-needed gold, but it would also take some of the weight they had been carrying around for the past few weeks. "Much of what we have comes from creatures we killed, such as hides, bones, and other useful parts, so merchants who purchase those items would be a good first stop. We also have more fresh meat than we need, which could earn us some gold from the right merchants. I will also let you look through the ingredients we have so you can set aside the ones you would like to purchase yourself."

As the others started to stand as well, Meesei turned her attention to Janius. "While we are selling our belongings, could you go to the docks and begin the search for potential ships, Janius?" Meesei requested. "Do you happen to have any knowledge of passenger vessels? You were the only one among us to ever live in a city with a port, apart from Ahnasha, but she will be needed to help bargain the best prices for our goods."

Rhazii almost seemed disappointed when Ahnasha brought him back up into her arms, but as usual, her heartbeat was comforting to him in its own way. She wondered if it would be more helpful or harmful for her to carry Rhazii with her while negotiating with shopkeepers. For some, he might help create sympathy, or simply put them in a good mood, but others might be annoyed by him, or take him as a sign that they might be desperate for gold. In any case, she would do her best to get the best prices possible for their goods. As the child of a merchant, negotiating prices was often a role she found herself serving in the pack.
