[color=black]"Hmm~"[/color] Mie hummed, holding a hand to her chin as she observed the peasant man in front of her closely. Looked at least more well off than certain others she had seen. He was wanting to buy something for his home. Something about a present for his wife or something to put in their home. Good, she could probably get a bit more money out of him if that was the case. She just had to decide what exactly she was going to attempt selling him. He seemed to be the traditionally masculine sort.

[color=black]"Ah...I do have something I think you'll love."[/color] She smiled, replying in the most honeyed voice she could. [color=black]"Tell this little fox...have you ever been to Gusteko?"[/color]

"No...?" The man replied, questioning slightly where this was going.

[color=black]"Hmhm,"[/color] She nodded, walking over over to a rack where several rugs were hanging. The large, obviously mildly ostentatious things were colored in various shades of blue and whites, and clearly of foreign design. [color=black]"I have the pleasure to have just returned from there after a bit of a trip. Cold place, but friendly people."[/color] She pulled one of the rugs from the rack slightly, running her hand over the dense, warm fabric. [color=black]"Now normally something like this would cost you a pretty fine sum if you were to buy it from anyone else."[/color] She continued, letting the man feel the rugs himself. [color=black]"But since I'm a nice little fox, I'll let give you a deal on it."[/color]

"Hmm...I dunno, it's still pretty expensive." The man replied, not quite buying it yet. "It's almost an entire weeks pay..." Just a little more nudging in the right direction, then. 

[color=black]"Expensive?"[/color] Mie sighed, wrapping an arm around the mans shoulder and pulling the taller human down to her level. [color=black]"Hmm, you're right. It's an expensive rug. I could probably sell it to a noble for double the price."[/color] She mused. [color=black]"But y'see, friend, I'm offering to sell it to you for a pittance compared to that. Just a handful of coins for a rug that will make both your wife happy, and make you the envy of everyone on your street."[/color] She released the man, shaking her head and sighing, whacking him in the face with her tail and causing him to recoil slightly. [color=black]"But of course, I understand if not...perhaps a vase? Some exotic artwork from Kararagi? I also have fresh vegetables from a few nearby farms."[/color] She walked back to a small table where she conducted most of her business from.

"Now hold on, I didn't say I couldn't afford it." The man continued in a mildly irritated manner, taking out a coin purse, seeming to weigh his options a bit more. "She would like it...How much is it?"

[hr]

A few words helping the man roll up the rug to carry home, she had made a hefty profit off that since she had gotten the rug for practically nothing. The fox yawned, stretching tiredly. She hadn't sold as many things as she'd have liked, but she was intending on staying in Priestella for awhile. After traveling for so long, it was nice to be back. Maybe she'd visit her sister sometime, too. She needed to restock on some of her weapons anyways. She was probably worried about her, too. She hadn't been here in quite some time. Half a year, almost since her last trip here. Business had saw fit to take her elsewhere, and even a bit of travel into Gusteko! That was a fun trip. Cold, but interesting. Such a shame about what happened to her guide, though. Ran afoul of some demon beasts on the road...ah, at least she'd be relatively safe here and wouldn't need to put up with losing anything valuable.

[color=black]"Hup, well, that should do it."[/color] She mused to herself, locking the box she kept her money in while traveling, and storing the rest of her wares in her wagon. Should be safe enough in the Cham quarter...heh, no one stole from her and got away with it even if they tried. There was pretty good security at the Inn she was staying at anyways, and he was more than happy to let her conduct her business out of there. She just had to pull the wagon and everything back into the stables and it'd be safe enough.

Well, time to go find something interesting to do in her free time until she had other business to take care of.
