Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bushi looked quite pleased to hear that she did in fact love to cook. It would appear as though that was a sort of a magic word, wasn't it? Something that caused him to smile as he looked into the pack once more, "Separate herbs, yes. I have herbs from the places that I mentioned, separate from one another. The bag you hold presently is a mixture of them that I created. A mixture that I use when I cook for myself."

Giving a smile he dug around, getting a couple of other bags as well, these ones different mixtures of herbs that were each from a different place. He allowed her access to each of the different bags, each marked with a label that had the name of where they were from and what they contained. Giving a smile he said, "If you like you can look over each of these pouches and see if any of them interest you? Or we can make up a mixture of a few different herbs of your liking as well."

Bushi opened the bag up wide to look inside and he studied them a moment, "Let's see, there are some that are large leaves that you add to the broth but take out before you serve it, other leaves that you grind up and sprinkle into the broth or on the meat, some interesting and colorful salts, some peppercorns that are ground up, but you only want a pinch of that, and then there are some really rare sort that looks a bit like a flower." He reached into the bag, taking out one of those rare flowers allowing her to smell it.

"This stuff is pretty nice and you don't really need a lot of it, which is nice given that its rather tough to find making it a bit pricey. If you want some of the spices though I might give you one of the flowers if you'd like it?"

"The flowers were traded to me by a man who wouldn't share the secret of where they actually grow, not that I blame him. These flowers are special and should be carefully guarded so that they are taken care of in a very careful manner." If the wrong person went after them they were likely to pick to much, which would probably kill the plant. Such a thing wasn't something that he wanted to think about because that meant the flowers could disappear and he wouldn't be able to eat them again. Giving a smile he said, "I met the man in Iory but he said he was from Kesris, if you were to go looking for him I'd check those two places."

He looked at the other spices and said, "The others were bought and traded for Iory and Dernd both. Definite worth their price." He gave a smile as the Leaf Tribeswoman said that she didn't have a reason not to buy some of the herbs. The fact that he was able to find something for her put him in a good mood. He'd almost been worried that he would fail the cute sprite that had fallen into his lap. Giving a thoughtful sound he said, "Let's see... for these herbs..." He thought on it a moment before quite her a price.

A little low, perhaps, but he was just happy that he was able to find her something that she liked. If he was able to make a good sale to her then perhaps she'd come back again later for other things. That was what he hoped for at least, not just when it came to the sprite but when it came to all of his customers.

Bushi gave the woman a glance before he nodded his head, "I think that you should do alright there." Better then he'd done at least since she wasn't an Oban herself. He felt that, since she was of the Leaf Tribe, that she should be fine. Giving her a smile he said, "I hope you're able to find more spices that are to your liking, if you look around you should be able to find plenty from Oba since we're in Oba. If you into food that is good, strong, and spicy I'm sure you'll be able to find what you're looking for."

As she took her coin purse out of her top he actually had the grace to flush a bit, glancing away, not wanting to appear as though she were starring since that was quite rude. Once she was done he turned his attention back to them, giving a smile as she held the payment out of him. He looked it over, making sure that it was all accounted for, before he tucked it away into his own money pouch. Giving a smile he said, "I hope that you stop by again sometime. Maybe I will be able to find something more that will interest you."

The fact that he was able to find something for her made him happy, but here was to hoping he could do the same in the future. If she was to meet with him again that was.
