≴✦≵~;; He was always off doing his own thing … MAKING sure that the other SCOUTS were working hard … no surprise really, to Abigale, Nicholas was ALWAYS seemed like he couldn’t sit down for TWO minutes … but then again, that was never a PROBLEM … this Town always seemed to have such a PLEASANT atmosphere about it … then again, that was a point she shouldn’t HAVE been overly surprised ABOUT … the Scout’s in general always SEEMED to have this laid back attitude about them … but to her … THEY seemed to have the most IMPORTANT role of those who SERVED the empire …
No … she was thinking TOO much into all of this, Nicholas instructed her today that she SHOULD have a look around without him by her side … so that SHE could get familiarised with WHAT the town had to offer. How lucky that she CHOSE to carry that kitten plus out with her … when CLUTCHING tight of that one object … it was as if all ANXIETY just faded from her BEING.
What really stood out to her was the VAST variety of individuals walking around so CONFIDENTLY … those with tails just like herself … horns of RHINOS && DEER’S … scales from reptiles or even a FORKED tongue like a snake … even those with INSECT traits like MULTIPLE limbs or EYES …&& here she often held the MINDSET that she was the only one … how HAPPY she was that he came to her RESCUE that day && brought her here …
What really took her ATTENTION was a girl seemed to speak out so CONFIDENTLY … hold on … - ? A tail - ? Just like her own … oh boy … if it wasn’t the FEAR of actually conversing with another then she would BE the first to approach that girl to make CONVERSATION … but nope … here she was, clutching that PLUSH to her chest, still as a rock.
❝ S - She seem’s a little energetic, I know Touka … ❞
It took the monkey girl a solid five minutes of walking to realize the ultimate flaw in her plans: She had no clue at all where the market was. Which was to be expected, when she thought on it, she barely remembered what a town was like after leaving it, and for all she knew things could have changed since then. So even if she did remember, she probably would still be wandering for far too long. She had to get there soon, or else the prime time for sales would be over. Or worse, maybe someone would have a rival shop set up.
Other merchants... They were the bane of her sales. Sure, she retrieved most of her wares herself, but other, more prosperous vendors could have heroes from the Scouts or Breaks helping them out, supplying them with ultra rare items. Or worse, the fact they’d have a better idea of what was in demand. Since she was constantly traveling, she never really had time to learn what the supply and demand was at a given time, so she usually had to stick around for a bit to figure it out.
She had heard that people in Zambones Town were in dire need of raw wood and fruits, so she did stock up on those items...but who knew if they actually still needed them. It had been nearly a week’s journey here after all.
Spying a girl looking at her, a small smile twitched across her lips. A local! Maybe she could tell her a thing or two. She quickly closed the distance, eyes glimmering when she took note of the girl’s catlike features. She’d known a few people with cat traits, and they were always a blast to hang around.
And so the short monkey girl bugged the kitty girl, saying, “’Scuse me, you wouldn’t happen to know where the market is? I’m looking for a place to set up shop.” Hopefully the other girl understood her. It wasn’t like she had a terribly debilitating accent or something, but her dialect was a bit off, sounding a bit more like she’d been raised in dozen places at once. Guess that’s what she got for being the daughter of a wandering merchant like herself.
