ａｕｄｉｏ + ａｃｔｉｏｎ.

[wolfchild]

[ she begins without preamble, speaking clearly and surely. ]

I have things to trade in the cafeteria. There's hams and cheeses, doughnuts, and juices. Socks too, and wet wipes, toys and jewelry. I've got books too for those who want them and markers in lots of colors. There's a lot more too. I'll be here all day or until it's all gone.

[ she took over a section of the cafeteria for her use. her direwolf lies beside her, guarding both her and the cart.

her wheeled cart ( commandeered from the clinic ) is full of items: the top has a tray of finger food from the promised cold hams and cheeses to oysters and shrimp packed in ice with sauces alongside, even cooked mini pizzas. below are assorted vending machine goods in their wrappers, sacks of ground coffee and hot chocolate, and a dozen fresh doughnuts. she has a pitcher of lemonade and a half-gallon of fruit punch.

in the drawers are assorted items such as wipes, hand sanitizers, socks and scarves, toys including a stuffed bear that moves and talks when you press its stomach, a few books and papers and markers.

hidden inside a bag at the girl's feet are a few cartons of cigarettes and small bottles of whiskey and wine for those who can pay a little extra. ]

[ she flashes him a quick smile in greeting. ]

I'll take them.

[ she's a tiny child and coins are awesome. ]

[governorkang]

[Kang sets the book he's looking at down to dig into a pouch at his side, showing her a handful of silver and copper coins, with three larger steel pieces.]

Scrap metal, maybe.

[And, he can pick up the faint smell of tobacco and alcohol. He's not surprised with a girl like her.]

You've got more hidden away that you didn't advertise.

[wolfchild]

[ she reaches for them to examine them more closely. her expression does not change at the obvious hint. ]

I'd lose listeners if I listed everything. That's boring.

[governorkang]

Smart girl. May I see what you have?

[He lets her examine the coins. They're not quite pure, but close, and aren't marked beyond ridges on the sides; many of the nations in Ansalon use the same currency to make trade easier.]

[wolfchild]

[ the girl motions toward the cart. ] Looking's free.

[ she bounces a coin off the other and listens to the sound they make. though appearing distracted, she's aware of her cart, as is the direwolf. ]

Did you want something specific?

[governorkang]

[He gestures at the bag at her feet, guessing that's where she's got the more interesting stuff.]

Drink.

[wolfchild]

[ she bends down to stroke the direwolf. when she straightens, she has a little bottle of whiskey inside a pretty paper bag in hand. ]

This one?

[governorkang]

Whiskey, very nice.

[He smiles, checking the brand. It's a good one.]

What do you want for it?

[wolfchild]

Do you have more coins?

[governorkang]

This is all I have here. I could give you as many as you wanted otherwise.

[Yep, he's pretty wealthy.]

[wolfchild]

Fine. You can have it.
