“Sure thing, I’m fine with going somewhere else.” He really had no intention of remaining in the city streets in the first place. The only problem was finding a suitable place for Anna to teach him. It wasn’t like there were many classrooms around. “Perhaps we could go back to one of our rooms. Mine has a desk that I could take notes on.”

“Of course, if you’re not comfortable with going somewhere so personal, I understand. It’s just the first option that I could come up with.” Really any place would be fine with Forrest as long as he was learning from Anna.

“No, I don’t mind that. Your room would be perfect actually.” Anna told him in agreement. It was unlikely her tips would leak to the local merchants around from there. “Lead the way then, Forrest. I’ll be right behind you.” 

Oh! And would you mind showing me some of your work while we’re there too? It might help me get a feel for what would be best to do first with your business.” Anna asked. She had seen a bit of his work in the past, but never up close, as she never really had to get new clothing before. But if there was ever a good time to do so, now was it for her.

Blackmailed with Beer (RP w/ anna-making-a-killing)

You had to be kidding her. She goes to a single bar, gets into a fight and now she was in a struggle to keep her true self hidden. Who knows how long she’d practically have her soul sold to this crazy merchant. Charlotte headed over to Anna to report for the countless ‘favors’ she would have to do now just to keep that bar fight on the quiet side. Charlotte was still perplexed how Anna was even at the scene of the fight, she was countless miles from the camp. Or… was this a cheep ploy by that sneaky trader!? Well there was no time to worry about it, Charlotte would just have to hold grudges off until this whole debt paying thing pulled through.

“Alright what the hell do I have to do for you to keep quiet?! I’d be more than happy to get this stupid thing over with!”

[anna-making-a-killing-blog]

Anna had witnessed something rare the other day. Something that few ever got to see. Charlotte had showed her true colors at the bar a few days ago while Anna got to witness, and boy was it a sight. Anna decided that she’d use that moment to gain some leverage on the fighter to get a few favors out of it, and she was almost done with her. Today would be the final favor, Anna had decided. Then she’d never tell a soul about the whole incident.

Upon seeing Charlotte today, Anna gave her a smirk and a giggle at the rude tone in the other’s voice. “Relax, today’s the final favor and then you’re off the hook. I need you to take a trip with me. I have a hobby of mine that could have quite the pay off, but it’s a two person job. I’m assuming you’re in, right?” Anna told Charlotte, not phased by any intimidation the other tried to put off.

A Familiar face is not alike (RP with grimaruin)

It was a relatively nice day out in Hoshido, as it was usually. The sun was out, things were peaceful, and not much was going on along the roads. Anna figured it would be a good day to begin traveling again after selling her goods at a festival a few days back, not being one to overstay her welcome.

She walked quietly, her pack being relatively lighter exiting the city  compared to  when she entered the city, and her wallet being heavier. It was a good sale! Her goods usually sold pretty well in Hoshido for the most part. She walked quietly, eyes looking out to the road ahead and waiting to see what the day brings the merchant.

Well she wasn’t wrong. If a family of travelling merchants couldn’t help him learn a thing or two about managing a business than nobody could. That would be like a royal family not being able to teach a thing about politics.

“Well I need help learning how to actually run a business. As much as I love making clothes, it’s a little hard to do it when your only buyers are Nohrian nobles. Small market, ya know?” Working with that left him with enough money to buy more supplies, but Forrest didn’t really like selling to such a small group of people, Most of the requests that he received were practically the same. It got old. “I want to learn how to appeal to more people, … and how to handle money better.”

“Also of course there’s need for payment! If you show me how things are done, than you obviously deserved a reward.”

Anna’s smile only grew wider, her putting her two hands together in front of her and holding them together. “Ah, so expanding your demographic is what you want to know about? That should not be too hard to learn.” Anna told him, nodding happily. 

“Well, if you’re insistent, then I’m sure we can agree with a reward. But for now let’s focus on the lesson. Shall we go someplace less open for this however, Forrest? I mean, the city street is hardly the place for a lesson like this. You might want to take notes too.” Anna told him. Honestly, helping someone else learn how to run a business was exciting. Anna always wanted to share a few trade secrets with her allies, but none of them would ever put them to use, at least she thought so up until now.

A new land, a new story (RP with blueflamedhero)

Alone on the path once again, old friends left behind and new adventures awaiting was the life that Anna lived as a merchant. That was the case today, having recently arrived in the land of Tellius. She did not quite know the layout of the land, so she had set off with her pack of goods to travel, and get to know what was where in the land.

Without a map she decided the best course of action was to simply follow the trail, walking with her pack secured on her back, and an Iron bow at her side. This was exciting to the merchant, but also risky. She did not know if her sisters were in this land or not, and as such had no idea how sales would even go. But, profit can not be gained without risk.

She snapped from her train of thought when she saw a man down the road, one with a muscular build and blue hair. Maybe a mercenary? She decided to push any thoughts aside for now to focus. Better safe then sorry, after all.

Inverse did not figure that the conversation would continue from there. She thought silence would occur and both can enjoy the peace and quiet. Maybe the other is a talker? Not that she minded. The silverette is interested to hear more.

❝Ah, I am Inverse. I suppose your name is also Anna like the rest of your sisters…Individuality must be a on the lower side of the qualities that are important to you lot, yes?❞

╰♟╮

Anna nodded at the woman. “Ah, Inverse is a nice name.” The merchant told her, relaxing and leaning back a bit. “As for the individuality, you hit the nail on the head. My sister’s and I usually throw that out the window in the family.” 

“You on the other hand, seem pretty unique. I’ve never seen someone with a hair color like yours before around here. Gotta say, it looks good. Is that the way it is naturally for you?” Anna asked, sounding curious. She had never seen anyone that looked nearly like Inverse before, so it had caught her mind pretty quickly.

Birds of a feather (RP with inthemurder)

Anna had slept peacefully that night. Not really dreaming, or even having a thought. Usually her time asleep was uneventful, but at the very least she was well rested. Upon being asked if she was awake however, combined the the previous crow cawing by them both, her eyes struggled to stay closed before accepting defeat and opening slowly. The merchant yawned and sat up, stretching her arms out for a moment. “Hahhhh…..morning Henry. I am now.” She said, taking a moment before turning to him.

“I trust you slept well. Glad to see you’re still around for me to get up too.” She told him, giving a small smile as she stood up, stretching her back as well. It seemed to be a good day in terms of the weather, so that was a good sign so far for the day. “Now then…I believe I promised you breakfast, right?”

He stretched and yawned, still rather tired. “Yeah, I think so,” he remembered. “I don’t usually carry much with me, so it’ll be nice to not have to search for something to eat,” he mentioned. Truly, that was the worst part of the morning.

Many of the crows flew off to find their own food, leaving only a small portion of the murder behind. “Oh, see you later, guys,” he said as they flew away. He started to get up and straighten himself out. “Breakfast, then we hit the road, right? You know, I’d be sad to see you go. Wanna travel together for a while?” he asked.

[anna-making-a-killing-blog]

Anna watched the crows fly off, listening to Henry say good bye to them. He must treat them as close family or something, she figured. The merchant kind of was reminded a bit of her sisters and her from the thought in an odd sense.  Upon his suggestion, Anna was a bit surprised. “Oh! So you’d like to stick around with me?” She said, looking at him and thinking for a moment, tapping her finger on her chin. She did think about this the night before after all..

She gave him a nod before crouching down to begin looking through her bag. “Of course! You’re good company Henry, so traveling together for awhile would be fun.” Anna told him, then pulled out two small pouches. It was not gourmet, but it worked well for a low cost traveling food. She handed one of the pouches to Henry. “Here you go. It’s my traveling mix. Nuts, dried jerky, and dried fruits. It’s not fancy but it’ll get you through the first half of your day at least.” She told him, offering it to him.

Many long stressful days is what the Merchant had gone through recently. Obviously, bad customers were par for the course for Anna. It was a guarantee that she’d wager her money on if she could. But that was not what had bothered her this week. She had just been going through a bad string of luck is all. Luckily, Anna knew of a hot spring in Nohr that she could find some respite in. 

She leaned back, relaxed in the hot spring and sighed happily. This was nice… Hot springs mad bad days good again in her book. Anna was about to get lost in her thoughts when she heard a voice speak up to her coming from the silver haired woman across from her, so she sat back up and looked over towards the woman.

“Me?” She asked, pointing to herself for a moment. She thought for a second before shaking her head. “Hmmmm….nope, can’t say I’ve met you. But are you from out of the country? If so, it could have been one of my sisters.” Anna told her, giving an amused giggle. “All of us look the same, so I wouldn’t blame you for mistaking me for them if that was the case.”

╰♟╮

❝Yes, I am not of this land. I must have mistaken you for another then. My apologies.❞

The resemblance is uncanny! Even if they are all related! Is all this woman’s sisters actually all twins?! Aversa swears the shop keeper in Plegia has the same appearance as this one at the hot sprigs. How off-putting, truly. 

❝It’s interesting to see how wide spread your family is. My homeland is…quite a distance away from Nohr.❞

╰♟╮

[anna-making-a-killing-blog]

 “Ahhhhh no need to apologize.” Anna said, waving her hand dismissively to the apology. “That’s kind of the whole point of it all. People like shopping at a familiar face. So, if we all look the same, we all get more business. It’s an indirect way of supporting each other.” Anna told her.

“Well, you know my name. Mind if I know yours?” Anna asked, figuring fair was fair. “That is, if you don’t mind. I can understand if this is as far as you’ll go in the conversation.”

“Anna, would it be possible to get some business advice from you? I’ll pay you for it of course.” Forrest had been trying to market the outfits he designed for a while now, but he didn’t know the first thing about it. Sure it wasn’t much of a problem in Nohr where the people saw him everyday, but selling to the other kingdoms was much harder. They didn’t see his fashion on a regular basis, so customers were much harder to bring in.

“I honestly don’t even know where to begin. I just thought that you would be the best possible person I could ask.”

[anna-making-a-killing-blog]

Anna had been looking in her notebook in her off time today, checking over her to-do lists and seeing what had to still be done before the sun went down. It seemed like she was almost done on today’s list, but before she could check the next page she heard the voice of Forrest speak up to her. She closed the book, giving him a small smile as she turned to him.

“Hey there Forest. Coming to me was the right choice if it comes to business. I mean, who knows the whole deal better then the Anna family right?” She said with a small laugh. “What do you need? This ones on the house, so no need for payment.”

Inverse could not help but stare at the other who was sitting across from her within the hot springs. No, it’s not because the red-head is bare or anything of that sort. It’s because the pegasus rider has felt like she has seen this woman before. Maybe even known her. 

Could it be? Someone from her homeland? That cannot possibly be! She didn’t know anyone here other then those future traveling brats. How does one ask about times of old? A past that Inverse wish she could erase from her mind permanently.

How all of this made the silverette tense and a bit agitated. Curiosity is truly going to be the death of her one of these days. To relieve herself of wonder, she decided to ask out-loud.

❝Say…do I know you from somewhere?❞

Anna nodded with a tired yet happy giggle coming from her. It had been awhile since she had such pleasent company. Maybe things would look up from now on…

With a small yawn she decided to lay down as well, looking up at the tree branches for a moment longer. “…Good night Henry. Again, thanks for the safe spot Henry…” She told him, closing her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Maybe she could….get used to this… On that thought, Anna was fast asleep.

The night passed without incident. The crows kept watch, flying around the two sleeping humans, but nothing caused them alarm. At least, not until the sun. The crows awoke, one of them flew down next to Henry and started cawing. If that didn’t wake him up, they would all start cawing. Thankfully, the single crow cawing in his ear managed to wake him.

“Good morning,” he told the crow as he pet it on the head. The crow quieted down. He was about to get up and go find something to eat, when he remembered Anna was there. Still sitting, he turned toward her.

“Hey, Anna, you awake?”

Anna smiled happily and nodded, glad he was so willing to make one for her. “Thank you Henry! As for the effect….surprise me. Just, nothing that will ruin my energy on it.” She joked with a chuckle, then leaned back on the tree and looked out into the forest path before them both. It felt really nice to have someone to talk too. Especially someone who wasn’t just a sell sword.

“Oh, one that will turn you into an animal? Let me take a wild guess. You want to be a crow with the Hex, right?” She asked him, still looking off into the distance. “Heh, I guess it’d be even harder to find you in your flock then it already is.” Anna joked to him. Upon hearing his yawn, she could not help but do the same.

“Heh…..seems like we’re both pretty tired huh? Perhaps we should both rest for now, and call it a day. Maybe tomorrow I can whip us something up from my pack before we both head off on the road to wherever either of us is

“Alright! I’ll get started on it tomorrow,” he told her, already making plans for exactly what to make. He always loved making things for friends, though it’s been awhile since he had someone around to make anything for. He was going to make sure he made the best charm he could.

He laughed a little at her guess, “Yeah, that’s definitely one thing I plan to do if I ever get that hex working properly. I’d also like to turn myself into a wolf.” he explained. “Though, I don’t think it will be that hard to tell me apart from these guys. I managed to get the curse to make me grow feathers, but they all turned out white! I’m more concerned with getting it to change my shape then getting the colour right, so I might just be a white crow, at least for a while,” he laughed.

He yawned again. “Yeah, that sounds good,” he said as he slipped down to lie on the ground, wrapping himself up in his cape like a blanket. “Good night, Anna.”
