Shopping is boring (open) (1,173 views)

"So you really do wish to play it slow" Gealis yawned in disapproval, and casually leaned his arm against the stand. "We both know where we're going to end up" he smiled at him with his eyebrows raised, implying it didn't make sense to haggle with small numbers. "2000np's"

"You sure you don't want to pay 2800 NPs each?" replied Theodore, still hoping to get more than 2500 NPs each for the Eizel, while attempting to take up a neutral tone of voice.

Looks like Theodore knew very well the middle offer would be 2500np's. Because of their mutual understanding Gealis no longer figured it was necessary to haggle and brought forth his final offer.

"No way. 2550np is as high as I go, and that's because I like you."

[extremeblue]

Theodore could see that the aisha in front of him wouldn't be willing to go any higher than 2550 NP each. As such, he said, "Fine. 2550 NP each it is, then." Theodore pushed forward the two Eizzel in question, clearly expecting the Neopoints now.

Gealis accepted the two eizzel and put them into his cart, then grabbed the neopoints from his pocket and paid the man. "It's a pleasure doing business with you" he said after handing over the np. "I'll be on my way then, still have a lot of stalls to buy from" he smiled and waved him goodbye. He had one more hour left to do the shopping before having to start preparing lunch for the royal family.

Theodore waited around for someone to come by and buy some meat from him. He had six Eizzel left, and still a few hours to sell them before the ice melted. The Eizzel were insulated, of course, to prevent them getting wet as the ice melted.

Meanwhile, not too far away, a girl was stood against a wall, just watching people go past. She had black hair in which six white flowers sat, and wore a dark purple dress. Her water-coloured skin shone in the light, maybe just a little too much. But it wasn't like anyone was going to notice her. No one had so far. Not even anyone who walked out the door that was right next to her...she turned around as she heard someone exit once again.

An adventurer was strolling (or floating) through Meridell. After a long expesition the lost deserts of the Lost Desert. He was panting, and slouched a little. The Meridell sun didn't help either. He walked up to the nearest pub he could find.

"Anything to drink." he slapped a big pool of neopoints on the table and waited.

[Princezz]

As expected, the person who exited did not take any notice of Yara whatsoever. Why would she even want anyone to notice her anyway? Maybe for excitement? Or because she was just lonely?

The buildings here had nothing interesting to her in them. So why had she come here? Probably out of lonliness again. Maybe if she just kept walking on, someone would suddenly do something with her or say something to her. Just maybe.

Theodore finally sold another Eizzel, after a good deal of haggling. Now he had five left.

[King Link]

The Ruki was now lying on the floor gasping for a breeze under the hot Meridell sun. Finally, the shopkeep arrived with a chokato slushie. He ripped it off he table and slurped.

Time flew by and Gealis had haggled all the supplies he needed from the market, his cart filled to the rim!

The bottom of the cart was packed with the heavy items, meat and ice. On top were fruits and vegetables. This caused for it to weigh a fair amount, and the road leading to castle lane was downhill.

He was paying so much attention to keeping the cart from taking his balance he didn't even watch where he was going, unknowingly heading straight towards an usul girl.

[extremeblue]

After a good deal of time, Theodore had sold all but the last Eizzel, which he was hoping would sell quickly.

[Princezz]

Yara's vision must have drifted off as she walked, because the next thing she knew, she had walked right into someone. "Sorry", she quietly said, taking a step back.

[Raichi]

The cart bumped into the girl but didn't fall over. It looked like a painful collision, but to his surprise the girl apologized.

Gealis looked concerned "Good grief, I should be the one apologizing, not you. Are you al right?"
