It was the Redguard. Almost too easy. He didn't appear to be fooled by the complete ruse, but in hindsight Fendros believed that was to be expected. He and the pack smelled of lycan as well, after all. A slight pang of anxiety hit Fendros as Ahnasha walked out of the door to follow the Redguard. Trying not to think of his nightmares, he had to reassure himself that Ahnasha was well suited to the job. She would be fine.

The sound of a door opening behind Fendros caused him to turn around to face the counter again. The shopkeeper closed the door behind himself, holding in one hand a pelt of black fur. "This and few others I have drying in storage, is this what you were looking for?"

The shopkeeper extended the pelt to Fendros, who took it and inspected it. Looking closely, Fendros noticed that the hide had been cut to look like it came from a conventional wolf, but the scent of lycan was still on it. Along with the scent of the shopkeeper, as well as... something else. The hunters? "What do you think?" Fendros handed the pelt back to Meesei to see if she could glean a more accurate scent than he. Once she and any other interested pack members were done taking a look at it, Fendros handed the pelt back behind the counter. "This is indeed what we're looking for," Fendros said with a smile, "and you've done a sterling job processing them so far. Tell you what, we are going to be around for a few days, how long did you say these would take to be finished?"

"Three days," the shopkeeper returned the smile at a possible deal.

"Good! We will return when they are done and purchase them then." Fendros put his hands together, [i]now that the Redguard is out of the way...[/i] "In the meantime, the one who sold these pelts to you, who is this hunter? Where might we find him... or her of course?"
