A Change of Pace

Elias

Elias watched the woman pick out what she wanted. The gem could garner many more items, but she didn't seem to know that. A merchant had to swindle the ignorant sometimes, no? Once she'd claimed her items, and he had ascertained that the gem was indeed real, and flawless, he tucked it into his pocket, and smiled at the woman, charmingly.

"Indeed, fair." He raised an eyebrow as she requested information, tempted to tell her the gem did not cover that cost, but then, the information she was asking about was...

"I'm sorry? You're in Caido, at Port Kaiholo in Torchline." He'd pegged her as an Outlander, her accent was strange to him, but he had not pegged her as an entirely new Outlander...

"You must have just portaled in, then." He commented idly. That did explain her strange choice of clothing, and the gem. Probably meant it was stolen. She certainly did not look the wealthy-sort. "I hope you've more to trade, miss, otherwise you'll be sleeping in the streets." He might as well level with her; Torchline was a dangerous area, and while he was nice, not everyone was like him.

Nothing around here is quite as it seems,
Not sure if anything's real or a dream,
And the only thing sure from the start,
Is the song that's inside of your heart,
Don't let it leave.
