Tertian nodded again, moving his whole neck to do so, not just his head. "I will see you then, then." Good. He had to get out of this crowd -his room at the Three Feathers was small but at least he could spread his wings! "Fare you well."
The Bestial turned around, sighing as he clasped his wings close to his sides and plunged back into the crowds, leaving Ngozi's stall free for all browsers.

Well.
Ngozi smiled smugly. Perhaps he wasn't doing too well, sales-wise, but it was still early, and this opportunity alone was in itself worth coming to Terralusk.

When the avian left, Alcion found suitable to make his presence known.
"Excuse me, but how much is this... ?" He asked, pointing to a silver sun amulet. "I would be interested into buying."

((... *is a blind dork*))
Ngozi blinked, momentarily lost in reveries of big sacks of money. "Pardon? I'm so sorry, I was miles away." He came nearer to see the piece indicated. "Oh, that one! A true jewel of a piece. I traded for it with a rather skilled crafstman in the south. Do you see the quality here?"
He picked up the amulet, and held it up to catch the light. "Fine silver, this is." Well, perhaps it wasn't pure silver, but that didn't mean that the silver in it wasn't high quality. "The chain should hold beautifully. Were you buying for yourself, or for a lady friend?"

"Myself." Alcion nodded. "A fine piece indeed. Seem you did a good trade on that one." A small smile drew on his face. "So, what I you interested in ? I have gold pieces... or I guess I could exchange for one of my paintings, if you're into those things."

"Gold would be preferable," Ngozi admitted. "I cannot eat a painting, and it's not within the realm of what I usually sell. I'm sure you understand. Gold, however, regardless of where it's minted, is still worth something." He named a price, calmly, on the high side in the range of average.

Arien picked her way carefully through the crowds before pausing briefly at the sound of a lovely voice, and equally lovely music playing somewhere above the racket and noise of people bustling about.
She really ought to be making her way towards the inn where her room was being held for her and check in but she couldn't help but be attracted to the sound of the music and the display of wares.
A small smile appeared at her lips as she curiously made her way through the stalls as she clutched her cloak close with the hood up over her head as though she were trying to hide from the masses of people all about.
She paused briefly to admire a jewelled necklace or two before ducking away when the merchant caught her gaze and attempted to draw her into a deal of some sort. "I.. no thank you, sir," she murmured simply, before continuing on her way.

"Understandable." The young elf sent a small nod, then pondered. "Sounds good... Ill take it." He searched trough his pocket until he came out with the required amount, and paid.
"The festival must be one busy seasons for merchants, uh ? With all those people around."

"It's a good opportunity," Ngozi shrugged. "We must do what we can to eat, after all." It sounded good, though he made a good enough living. He counted the money quickly with his eyes, scratched at it with a thumbnail, felt the weight in his hand, and found it satisfactory. Those with the tendency to cheat tend to be more cautious about being cheated themselves. He tucked it away in a pouch at his waist under his shirt, and handed the necklace over. "May it bring you great happiness, sir."

"I would ratter hope so, I could use it. Good luck with your trades !" Alcion gave a wave as he left, putting on the amulet in the way.
Today had been good, so far. This festival was facinating, and it was only the second day. The book still tugged at him, but he resisted once more, returning to the fountain and sitting there, listening to the water's flow.

Ngozi grinned behind his hand. Not bad for something he'd picked up for a song six months ago. It was a pretty nice necklace, at that, though not quite worth what he'd asked.
This festival was turning out be quite interesting.

Arien found herself milling near Ngozi's cart, quietly admiring his various wares that were on display even as she listened to the bard sing not but a few paces away. She was almost envious of her seemingly easy manner with the crowds of people that seemed to push in around her. Personally, she found the streets of teeming people a bit stifling, but she had to admit that it was all rather exciting.
She turned her attention back towards the goods displayed before her before picking up a small, delicate sort of ring that glittered brightly in the light. "Very pretty," she remarked quietly.

After several more tunes, Tessa took her bows. "Thank you all for your kind attention, and may you be merry this festival season!" With a flourish she stood, swiping the scarf from the top of the rain barrel and swooping it about in an elaborate bow. When she rose she settled it around her hips once more and knotted it securely.
Slinging the lute over her shoulder she sidled through the dispersing spectators and made her way to the merchant's stall, her eyes glinting as she perused the wares. She tucked a russet lock behind her ear as she looked over the trinkets, humming softly, as if the music could never quite be quelled in her.

A short Armadillo bestial shuffled into the marketplace. She looked rather plain in her looks. No exotic dancer or performer here. She was wearing just a simple tan garb that covered her front and a long strapped bag was hung over one shoulder and around her thick armored back. Her armored tail also dragged a bit behind her as she walked about. Her slightly twitching nose was leading her into the crowd; taking in smells she had never got a whiff of before. Her eyes danced as she looked at all the vibrant colors, and her big ears on top of her head took in the grandeur of noises that were present. Adjusting her bag and straightening her clothes out of habit, she continued to shuffle into the market.
Making her way, she poked in several of the stalls about the market, checking their wares and trying to find anything of interest. Finding nothing, she went to the next stall with the same result. Lots of pretty things, just nothing she was actually looking for. She told herself not to get dishearten, since she had just gotten there, but being new to this she was starting to get depressed. Sighing, she sat herself down at the fountains edge, trying to figure out what she was to do next.
"This place is just so big..."
She pulled her tail beside her, so no one would trip on it and then pulled out her diary to write an entry to cheer herself up. Holding the pencil to the tip of her tongue, she thought of what she was going to write before she put down the pencil to write.

Putting the pencil away, the armadillo girl seemed to be calmer. Placing the diary back in her bag, she closed her eyes and took in the sound of the fountain for a while. She was relaxing herself and calming down from being slightly overwelmed by everything. Once fully calm, she opened her eyes and looked around.
"Maybe I'll just wait around for a bit and listen for the sellers instead of running around."
