Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bushi gave a thoughtful sound, for a moment seeming as though he was considering exactly what it was that he was offering. Baby radaku teeth, it sounded as though they would be small, but they could be useful nevertheless. The teeth of predatory beasts always made for good jewelry, the sort that a lot of different people enjoyed to buy and wear because it had a 'wild' look. Those who never went out hunting, instead spending their time at parties, were the sort that seemed to be the ones that most like that sort of jewelry. It was why he rather enjoyed selling to the nobles in Oba for that reason, because he knew their tastes pretty well. There was also mention of colorful face paint, something he debated over, not certain if it would be useful when the people of Oba had their fancy make up but the paint could be used to enhance their familiars. If he sold it as decorative familiar paint it might sell. The final thing he mentioned were pressed flowers that grew only in Jauhar, not something Bushi himself cared for but he knew there was likely a market for them among the older ladies in Oba.

After a moment he gave a bright smile, "I would be more then happy to take the teeth and the flowers for certain, but the paint I'd like to try a sample of to see if it will work for what I am thinking of selling it as." He said, giving Aatos a glance, "I will try it out on Aatos's shell and if it works well I will take it as well."

He tilted his head back, eyes closed, and he gave a humming sound as he thought about it. After he was done doing the math in his head he quoted him two prices, the first taking into account all of the trade goods, the second one the straight up price. That way he knew what Bushi would offer for the various goods he had for trade, provided of course the paint worked out. Giving a smile he said, "If the paint works out well for what I want it for I'd be more then happy to make a deal with you for further purchases, especially if you are able to produce other colors."

"If it all works out then a rainbow of course would be something that I could definitely make use of." It was always good to have a variety of colors on hand for those who were more picky or preferred a certain color to another. He didn't want to risk losing a sale because all he had on hand was red and the customer only liked green, a problem he'd run into in the past when it came to all manner of things. He'd learned after that to try to keep more variety on hand. Giving a smile Bushi set to digging around in Aatos's packs once more, "I should have some extra boxes on hand that I can give you that will make transporting everything more easily." Especially the more easily crushed things that one couldn't just throw into a bag like the feather hair clips and the quill.

Bushi set to work packing everything up so that the Shifter could easily carry it back home with him while considering his question, "I am in debate at the moment where I am going to go next. I did a long stint in Tale, then came here for a while. I might be going to Sauti next. I also want to get my hands on some Zenan goods though with Aatos I might find that trip hindered a little." He didn't think the bushi would be able to deal with the cold, meaning he'd need to find a place that Aatos could stay while Bushi went to Zena himself. Something that he'd worry about once he got as far as Sauti he supposed.

Turning to look at the other man he gave a thoughtful sound, "Well, the roads are clear, not a bad place to visit given enough time has passed since the war. At the same time there will still be those that remember it as though it were yesterday. The same can be said about this place, there are still those that give me glares for being Oban." He warned the man, stacking the various boxes up neatly. He tilted his head for a moment, debating with himself before he said, "I also hear tell of bandits that are down in that direction. It seems as though they are mostly targeting Oban caravans, but one can never be too careful where a child is concerned." Were Bushi only so lucky as to have such caring parents himself, though he supposed the ladies running the orphanage were nice enough in their own way.

"No matter where one goes it's always best to take some precautions, it's what allows for safe travel." Bushi knew that full well given all the travel that he'd been doing of late from village to village. Trips that were becoming more and more profitable as time went on. A few more connections like Sauron and he was going to really be set. That meant more travel though, something he might need to do soon, though not until he finished up here in Ast.

Giving a smile Bushi said, "I will be sure to deliver the last part of your order as soon as possible." He felt that the sooner he got the fire starting kit created for him the better, that way his final child wouldn't feel left out when it came to the presents that Sauron had bought. He also needed to trade for a journal for the other child to go with the feather quill and inks. He had a busy day ahead of him that much was certain, though it consisted of things that Bushi enjoyed so he was looking forward to the work.

"Have a good rest of your day and I am sure I will see you soon." Bushi said, taking Sauron's hand in his, giving it a shake before he gathered the coin that the man left behind on the counter for him. It was quickly counted out, just to make sure, before he tucked it away into one of Aatos's packs. Once the money was safely within the protection of Aatos Bushi got out his ledger, taking down notes on what he'd sold, for how much, and the goods that he was going to be getting in. He had made out well on that sale, a few more like that and he'd be ready to travel again, something he was quite eager for.
