On his way out of the town Nak stopped him. Luckily she didn't join him in the potion shop. Her presence may have put a damper on the play. Now she was asking about enlisting his help to to sell some of her goods, the mechanical birds he had seen before. 

.... for your trouble."

[color=00a651]" Sweetheart, you came to the right man. T.C. Bywater is a barker extraordinaire, a master salesman. Stick wit me and we'll both be coin flush. We can talk my commish after we empty those saddlebags. Listen, let's head to where the travelling merchants have set up by the town gate. We can find a spot there, and we will be where El Capitan took the girls trick or treating."  [/color]

Anzu and Skank carried Nak to the edge of town. Local farmers, roaming merchants and trinket peddlers had lined the road leading into the town gate. People and other traders were milling about. [color=00a651]" Why don't you stake your spot between that cabbage selling fuck and the broad wit the shitty rugs. Yeah you heard me you bug eyed fuck, mind your own business before I mind it for you,  you bug eyed fuck you! Sorry, yeah right there. Put your birds out and bits out and give me a few minutes, capiche?"[/color]

TC hopped on Skank and rode back into town, parking her by the gate. Out of eyesight, TC cast minor illusion on himself to make his clothes seem just a bit nicer and more expensive. He even changed his hair color for the forthcoming performance. After several minutes, with the bravado of a man twice his wealth and a height three times, he walked back to Nak's impromptu shop. TC raised his voice to a volume that was not needed for small business dealings, but a volume that got the attention of other shoppers,[color=00a651]" Well whatta we gotta ovah here! Are these the Avian Artifices that are all the rage in New Bastion! Why, all the nobility and well to do as far as the Western Sea are clamoring about these birds. Humble saleswoman, please tell me the no doubt outlandish price these beauties will cost me."[/color] TC paused but didn't let Nak get a word out before continue,[color=00a651] " Why by the gods! That is a flabbergastingly low price for such a coveted and prized item that would certainly become any families treasured heirloom. I will leave at once and return with gold in great store to be purchasing the whole stock so that these mere peasents won't be able to enjoy such otherworldly craftsmanship!"[/color] TC beamed a wide toothy grin at Nak, winked and waddled back to the gate, where he shed his illusion. After a few moments he would return to sit near Nak, but not too close as to ruin the con. Ever prideful, he wanted to see how the play worked.

Patiently he would wait to see how well she would make out, and subsequently him, and to see if Fionn would exit the wagon with the girls and the orc.
