Janius didn't pause in standing up when he was asked about finding a ship. "Well, it has been a while, and the docks weren't exactly savoury places in Bravil or the Imperial City. However, I know a few things. I used to ride some ships across the bay between the cities." Janius began to shoulder the his luggage as he spoke, causing pauses in his speech as he readjusted his balance. "For one, there are less passenger only vessels that go east from the Niben river mouth. Partly pirates, but also less people travelling to and from the Marsh or Morrowind. We might have better luck just paying a trading vessel. The conditions might be less desirable, but it will probably be cheaper. I'll have a look around and meet you all in the square."

With a wave to Rukeewei's brother by the counter, the pack exited the inn and Janius broke off from the group to head to the docks. He wasn't sure whether Kaleeth was coming along. She was carrying items to sell as well, and the docks were probably smelly and full of leering types. It didn't run across Janius' mind that the ships might make for a magnificent sight.

Ariel led the pack to the town square that stood in the path of the main street leading through the city. It wasn't nearly as crowded as the festival time, but there were still plenty of people milling around shopping for food in the stalls that were set up. Ariel and the pack were more concerned with other vendors. "Right, now, most stores which would buy hides, meat, and bones are around this square and along the street." Ariel began to point out different signs around the square as she caught her breath from walking uphill. There was a butcher and a delicatessen which Ariel recommended for the meats. She frequented both shops for her own needs often and spoke of the kindness of the shopkeepers. For the hides, she pointed out a leather worker and a general store, both were manned by shopkeepers that wore smiles, but were wily and often stubborn in their pricing. The furs and rarer hides, Ariel told them, should be taken to clothing stores, including Neercana-rei's store. She explained that such stores were out of the way, but would definitely value the pelts more highly. Ariel wasn't sure what to do about the bones, but her best guess was to go to the general store for them as well.

Once the pack was briefed, Ariel stepped back to take her leave. "Now then, Sabine, you can stop by whenever you like and I'll get you settled in. As for the rest of you, good luck with your sales. I'll get back to work." Ariel partly turned away, but lifted one finger and halted, "Oh! Right! About the ingredients, come by the shop some time during the day and I'll see what you have." She waved a hand to their baggage, "But get rid of that heavy stuff first. Finally, do you have any plans for dinner? I understand you'll probably be partaking in your own stock outside the walls to save money, but I'd love to join you all. I'll even bring out some rice fried with vegetables for you all. It might make for a nice side dish?" It wasn't until now that Ariel that she was slowly increasing the speed of her speech, like she normally did when anxious, "...That is, if it isn't imposing, I don't want to be rude."
