It was already late in the evening but the merchant seemed unfazed by the passing of time. He sat, poised and elegant, watching the world around him. He didn’t seem bored, even as he leaned forward and laced his fingers atop the table; below it, he kept his toe tapping to some silent tune in his head. He was tall, by human standards, though while sitting down he didn’t seem particularly threatening. If you didn’t look at his face.
He had graceful features--sharp and refined. His chin and nose tapered to a point, giving him an air of sophistication, but that, combined with his slitted eyes and pointed teeth, there was something undeniably predatory about him. He watched with a hungry gaze and a mischievous, nearly sinister smile. His ears were pointed and were prominent despite being tucked behind his vibrant, multi-colored hair. The most intrusive feature that indicated there was something not human about him were the curling horns protruding from his temples and the oil-slick black scales that brushed his cheeks and forehead. He was well dressed, in a fashion obviously otherworldly, and seemed to enjoy dressing himself up in glistening gemstones.
His table was somehow both simple and overwhelming; it was draped in a dark purple tablecloth, with extravagant embroidery in different designs. Scattered neatly atop the table was an array of items that seemed to carry some magical weight to them.
He did not seem intimidated in the slightest and, upon noticing that the barrier surrounding him rippled when his visitor entered, he smiled.
He did not rise to meet them nor adjust his position in the slightest. He followed them with his fierce eyes and greeted, in a silky voice, “Welcome.”

He had heard that the merchant that showed up every year in the summer had returned and was looking to collect the pods that could be found growing on the tree in one of the many parks of the city. At first he hadn't been planning on necessarily visiting said merchant but the more he thought on it, the more it seemed like a good idea to get some answers. Since he had already collected some pods with Selinur, he wouldn't even be inconvenienced with collecting them for which to trade. The ancient Senshi however did keep at least one pod for himself for farther study later.
Agrawain made his way to where the merchant could be found, unbothered by the late evening as it just meant he could move freely without having to worry about being in civilian disguise. Crossing a barrier before coming to the set up table was honestly something he approved of seeing how one never knew what trouble might crop up. When he finally saw the merchant himself, Agrawain gave a nod in greeting back. "Hello. I hear you tend to have some interesting information to trade for." The pale eyed Senshi said before looking from Almadel to the table briefly, then back. Not really taking anything on it in just yet, more of a move to know the dimensions of the table as he continued until he stood in front of it..
