Oh they were still going to do some training, Marrow and her, but that could wait for a bit now. Instead she strolled back to the inn and picked up right where she’d left off, polishing off her now sadly cold meal while counting her unexpected payday. [color=b03300]”hmmm, not bad, not bad at all”[/color] she said to herself, as she neatly piled up the coins into countable stacks. Those would certainly keep her fed, watered and housed for a while longer than her existing reserves already would, but it also reminded her she should probably start looking for work again soon enough, which momentarily soured her mood. [color=b03300]”Ach, now’s no time to be worrying about money though is it Marrow?”[/color] she asked her mon rhetorically [color=b03300]”After you’ve cheated death another day and gotten paid for it, that’s when it's time to have some fun. Morning appropriate fun though”[/color] she still had some training planned, and she also had to pick up her order too, so day drinking was out of the question. [color=b03300]”Well we’ve got cash to burn and now that I think about it, all those merchants we help ‘ll be setting up show around now, yes? So about we see if there’s anything of interest before we check in with William”[/color] she said, and so it was that a little while later the sell-sword (who had taken the time to change back out of her armor after eating) and her pokemon found themselves strolling through the freshly open market, casually pursuing the wares on offer to see if anything caught their fancy. Ironically it wasn’t one of the newly arrived merchants that ended up catching her eye first, but instead the white haired young women and her haunter who the sell-sword had seen already seen in the inn this morning and then after that during the little incident with the alpha Persian, who she now found manning a fortune telling stand, and a quite popular looking one at that. Both interested in the novelty of this and, subconsciously, hoping this might help with her current lack of direction, the towering woman joined the queue and, after a bit of gossiping with her fellow waiters in line, she met Himaru in person for the first time. [color=b03300]”So you must be the rarely in business fortune teller I’ve heard people swear by”[/color] she said warmly as she stepped forwards, presently holding Marrow in the crook of her arm so he could see what was going on, and then added [color=b03300]”now I don't know much about that kind of stuff, but I do have a little spare coin to spend so, tell me, what’s the fanciest bit of fortune telling you can do for me? Be nice to know if life has any more surprises or, ah, opportunities coming my way, if that’s a thing you can do?”[/color] [color=b03300]”Oh, and I’m Sanzoku Shōkan, mercenary for hire, pleasure to meet you”[/color] she belatedly introduced herself, before saying [color=b03300]”I’d pitch you my services, but you and your Haunter there looked like you could handle yourselves just fine out there this morning”[/color] knowing full well that the fortune teller wasn't the kind of person who would want/could afford to hire mercs of course, it was all just a lead in for the compliment.
