"They keep bad energy away," Polly shrugged. Honestly, he had only been described these things in very vague terms. It appeared that Daddy didn't want him knowing too much.
Samuel's eyes went wide. Oh my. So many opportunities were arising for him...
"Well...I could do some research, I suppose. China is no more mysterious than Haiti..."

Mally smiled slightly. "That sounds useful." He said, giving Polly a little pat. "would you pick me out some of that?"
Cissy grinned, looking pleased. "That'd be great if you could look into it." She said sweetly. Couldn't hurt, after all.

"Sure!" Polly said again and scampered away, returning with a few different scents. He lifted the sticks up and held them beneath the man's nose.
"Do you like any?"
Polly had seen everything from the blind to the deaf to the limbless. Nothing phased him any more.
Samuel nodded.
"I will. If you come back some time next week, we'll see how much I've figured out..."

Mally thought for a moment, then picked one of them. "That one's nice. Thank you for your help, Polly."
Cissy beamed. "Thanks so much!" She said, looking like she wanted to leap and hug the poor man. "Mally can be a grump now, but I don't wanna see him turning into a scary monster."

Polly nodded and put the others back, humming lightly to himself.
"How many do you want?" he called from across the room.
"It's no problem. We are glad to find work nowadays." Samuel gave a little bow and smiled. 'We', of course, referring to the houngans and mambos in the 'civilized' world.

Mally shrugged after a moment of thought. "No more than twenty sticks." He said. "Some sort of bag under that would be fine."
Psh, Civilization. It was all well and pretty, sometimes, but Cissy had no use for it. "I'll be in your debt."

Polly nodded and scampered off, peering in at the bags. Well, they had 25 and...ooh! 12. Perfect. He grabbed that bag and ran back to the dark-skinned man.
"Here! Wanna burner?"
Samuel just shook his head. "Indeed not. Trust is all I require."

"We have one at home, thank you." Mally smiled, ears twitching slightly. he gently reached out and floofed Polly's hair. "You're quite a help."
"Please. If you do me a favor, then I owe you one. It's how I operate." Silly, innocent little beast. Cissy tapped one foot on the floor and grinned.

Polly just giggled and raised his shoulders. He liked being ruffled!
"Thanks!" he grinned, "I can't ring you out, though. Daddy doesn't trust me with the money." The math, specifically. 2 plus 2 was not 22.
"As you wish. If I can think of something, I will contact you."
