"The secret is lots of tradition," he said with a smile. "It's a classic meal here, born out of necessity. So it's beloved."

Jerica nodded thoughtfully, taking another drink of her beer. “Like the whale?”

Jerica nodded, remembering that she was pretending to just be a merchant and therefore shouldn’t mention Ash having given her some last night. It wasn’t nearly as bad as he’d made it out to seem. But. Well. She also wouldn’t be pushing to get to eat it a second time, either. “Makes sense.”

(Do you think Myna would be able to pick up on Jer getting picked, too?)

(Without a shadow of a doubt. But she's not in here right now)

"So what sorts of goods are you selling?"

(Oh right for sure I just figured that may be a fun scene for “tomorrow” if she’d be around then? Idk)

“Like I said, we’re mostly interested in buying while we’re up here,” Jerica said. “Negotiating contracts and the like. I think my uncle is trying to get furniture while we’re up here? We heard that’s a speciality of up here — woodworking and shit.”

(Yes that would be excellent!)

"Sturlesson!" Helge nodded enthusiastically. "He's a master of woodwork."

“Does he have a shop in town?” Jerica asked.

"Right down market row on your left. He's pricey, though."

Jerica nodded. “Quality usually is; I’ll check it out tomorrow. Thanks.”

"Don't mention it. Are you in the market for furs or meat, by any chance?" He nudged Viol, who grunted.

“Maybe.” Jerica shrugged. “Do you have a shop here, too?”

"I've got a stand," she replied. "Easier to set up and take down."

“Makes sense.” Jerica nodded. “…Well… I may swing by tomorrow, then, too.” Couldn’t bring Derik, though. It was best not to overlap in interactions with him. Especially with people she met tonight, seeing as she snuck out and all.

"Market's next week," she said. "You're a couple days late. I need to restock."

The grand in the hotel rings with broken tunes; the guests frown; the concierge winces. But the blue-hatted boy is happy and braver than they.
