_Almann comes across a fair stretch of street. He talks to some of the vendors about the fees for selling there, and they simply say that they'd be vending for about a month there with little interference and no fees to pay. Almann makes sure to keep the look of the street in his mind and makes his way back to the cart._

_He assesses the goods they have gets in front of the cart and squats down_

_He points to his shoulders_
Jacob
"Of course, I couldn't stand to stand on the ground" *Ralki jokes and then giggles. She doesn't feel entitled at all, only egotistical. Ralki gets on Almann's back... Wait a second... Is Ralki being treated like a child?*
Clara
_Almann stands up, balancing her on his shoulders. He grabs the handles of the cart and hums as he makes his way towards the chosen street to start vending._
Robin
"Got a good spot if it isn't taken. The sun will be able to shine directly on the pottery. Some of the brighter colors should stand out more to people passing by..."
Clara
_The cart was a bit heavy to say the least. Almann was surprised how light the girl was. She weighs a bit less than a newborn ewe, and doesn't squirm around nearly as much._

_Almann walks up to the spot. It's well lit, with the light shining just right on the pottery. It should catch the attention of people walking by during this sunny day._

_Almann grabs one of the more colorful pieces of pottery and hands it to Ralki._
Robin
"Hold this up towards the light, people should be able to see it better. The colors should reflect off and get their attention. That, and I'm going to be loud."
Jacob
*Is Ralki tall enough to reach the light? She tries anyways, she won't allow her miniscule stature prevent her from showing off her creations!* "Aight, wait... Loud? Why?"
Clara
_Almann doesn't respond, instead he takes a deep breath and begins._
Robin
"COME ONE COME ALL! SEE THE GREATEST EARTHWORKS IN THE ENTIRE EMPIRE!"

"THE MASTER OF THESE WORKS HAS ALLOW YOU, THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY TO BUY THESE PIECES FOR A PRICE ANYONE CAN AFFORD!"
Clara
_Almann doesn't usually do this, but the girl is quite confident in her creations. Perhaps she can keep it up as he attracts a crowd? He'll find out. He almost has to keep himself from laughing. Nonetheless, with the quality of the pottery no doubt they'll have buyers, especially with how well they shine..._
Jacob
*Does he really think that her creations are that good! Pffttt of course he does, he's a proper business man, right? Surely no one could be pitying the smol potter? Right?*
Clara
_First came the beggars. Always the beggars. Almann had to threaten to call the constable or geld them if they didn't scram. They're always looking to take, steal and sell. He's not a stupid man. These people would stab him in the back and take the entire cartload to make money for themselves..._

_Next came the poor. Those who were not beggars but obviously couldn't pay full price for one of the more decent works. Almann decided to sell them a few of his iron and bronze silverware instead. They sold quite well. A few pots were were sold for some silvers, but they weren't the best and bright works of the cart..._
Robin
"Oh come now, I know all of you have far more interest THAN THIS?"
Clara
_A smug middle aged artisan walks up to Almann and Ralki. His profession was quite obvious. The man was covered in molding clay and stains. His hands seems calloused after what Almann presumes are thousands of hours of hard work. He seems quite confident in himself..._

"Let me see these...'great works' boy. _I'll_ be the judge." The man scoffs.

_Almann takes one of the better works from the cart (not the one that Ralki is holding, that one is probably 2nd best in terms of presentation) and hands it to the old man._
Robin
"Surely a skilled and experienced artisan like yourself can see the amazing work put in this pottery no?"
Clara
_Almann is taking a risk here. In reality he doesn't know jack about pottery. He'll have to bullshit his way to selling and hope Ralki actually made decent pieces..._

_The artisan, looks at the pottery in and out, knocks on it with his knuckle, feels the inside of the pottery, and looks underneath the piece. The inscription of 'R.G.' is big and bold._

"Ho... What's this? I've never heard of this R.G. Before boy. They seem confident in their work, considering the size of their initials on the bottom. Tell me, who made this?"

_Almann pipes up before Ralki can say anything._
Robin
"A wise woman from a far off village. Personally ordered and anonymously held as one of the best potters in the empire. She's allowed us to sell her works here. The lass on my shoulders is her prodigé, she's made many of the works in this here cart, and personally assisted with the making of that piece.

If you're interested, I can show you some of the works done by the lass here..."
Clara
_Almann had to be careful. Ralki looked too young to be an artisan of master class. He trusted her word sure enough, but there needed to be some believable buffer if he were to pull this off..._

_The man nods and holds the piece up._

"Aye, I'll give you 15 silver for it. A fine job here she's done. You say the one on your shoulders is her student no? Why are you with here with her? Why isn't her master with her?"

_Almann immediately responds_
Robin
"I was hired to guard her. Knowledge of such a great craft is priceless, and the client pays well. I figured it wouldn't hurt to help sell some of her better pieces here."
Clara
_The old man nods, seemingly content with the answer. Guards and personnel weren't uncommon hires around these parts, especially now that a local town had been assaulted by unknown forces. Talent pays, and those who protect it are payed also._

_He hands Almann the silvers. Almann jingles the silvers in his hands and offers them to Ralki._
Jacob
*Nice idea! Ralk thinks to herself 'oh no, I'm being treated like a child ):<'. Anyways, Ralki 12 of the silver pieces, letting Almann keep the rest, because* "Because your merchant talk is pretty good" *She says.*
Clara
_Several middle-class artisans and merchants come by, saying the potter earlier had recommended the stand based on that one piece alone. Eventually the cart begins to empty, leaving the more destitute products and expensive products for the taking. Eventually, a man in finer clothes wanders up to the cart._

"You two seem to be doing well here. Welcome to Henrosa, the humblest city in Sepduania. What are your names?"
Robin
"Almann. The lass here is remaining anonymous for the sake of her teacher, names are often priceless in a world of master artisans. Anonymous makers are more mysterious and bring about more business than those who are out and about..."
Clara
_The man strokes his beard and raises an eyebrow._

"I see..."

_The older gentleman from a little while ago comes up behind the rich man and begins to speak._

"Sir Enraven, these are the ones I told you about earlier. This pottery is really some of the best, besides mine of course, that I've seen in a while..."

_The richer man is seemingly annoyed by the presence of the artisan. Why do all these dirty workers have to get so close to him when he's in the streets? Have they not seen a man of higher class before?_

"Well, let's see. Show me your best work here, and I'll _consider_ buying one of them..."

_Almann immediately gestures with an open palm to the piece in Ralki's hands, taking the piece and handing it to the rich man._

_The man examines the piece for about 5 seconds and drops it on the ground, shattering the piece against the cobbles..._

"I said, your _best_ piece."

_Almann braces himself to hold back Ralki should she go ballistic on the man_
Jacob
*Hmm, seems as if he's too picky. Whatever, that means that he's not getting it.* "Fraid that is the best piece, that my teacher has given me to bring."

"Still, would you mind compensating us for the damaged merchandise?"
Clara
_Good. Almann thinks. The girl is learning... Maybe. We'll see. Seems like she's been paying attention to the deals so far and is taking an assertive stance._

_The rich man raises an eyebrow._

"Perhaps. Bring me your best work."

_Almann proceeds to let Ralki down to go to the cart and pick what she knows is the best work left._
Jacob
*She looks for a while, most of these are high quality but she doesn't think this person would be impressed, she needed something to bedazzle him! Not just ok for his standards, something he cannot deny is good. Mhmm, 'Agrigol' should do the trick. It'd been one of her first ones, that she kept refining for years upon years, something most potters would be unable to perform. That's one of the many advantages that this specific pot has over any other, the other being that she had implemented designs that no one else could, such as a nice spike design, it's color scheme that she had painted onto it, and the jars lid. It'd be a shame to sell this thing off, since it was one of the ones she made with her mother, but it was going to impress this obstinate noble than so be it! She takes it out and shows the noble her most priced work,* "Here is the best work we have here."
Clara
_The noble looks at the jar up and down, on the bottom and inside of it as well._

"What price?"
Robin
"3 gold, I'll throw in a jeweled dagger with it."
Jacob
**(what a steal!)**
Clara
_Almann takes out a dagger he got from a woman down in the far south. The dagger was in an ornate leather sheath, quite sharp and clean as a blade, and jeweled from bottom to top._

_It was clear this work as well was excellently made. Almann takes the dagger and shows off it's flexibility and durability by bending the blade back and forth. He balances it on his finger and shines the jewels in the sunlight._

_The man grunts, and drops the gold into the hand of Almann. He walks away with dagger and the pottery, grinning wildly as he assesses his new possessions. Almann can hear him mumble under his breath how beautiful both pieces are._
Robin
"Well I think that's enough for now, don't you think?"
Clara
_He hands her the 2 of the gold coins, he needed the 1 to break even for the dagger..._
Jacob
"Aw jeez, I didn't think that pot was actually worth that much!" *Ralki scratches her hair confusedly* "Wait, of course it was! *I made it.*"
Robin
"The rich will buy anything if you sell it to them well enough."
Clara
_Almann offers the piggyback ride again_
Jacob
*She didn't deny it last time and she won't this time! Still, being treated like a child like that was rather annoying... But she's kind of choosing to do it, so whatever.*
Clara
_The trip took less time than before, there was less things to sell after all. They'd get back to the wagon, it was almost sun down._
Robin
"Say, did that place we ate at earlier have rooms?"
Jacob
"Sonders Soup Shack? Yeah... Pretty high-end to be perfectly honest, we could probably do it, but a little expensive for my tastes" *That place always had been expensive, owners were penny pinchers. But the price was well worth it for the food, maybe that's only because Ralki had an immensely good smell.*
Clara
_Almann proceeds to lock up the remaining merchandise in the wagon, returning the cart to the old man he met before. He comes back and shrugs._
Robin
"Let's get going then."
Jacob
"Mhmm! Let's get going to...?" *She still hadn't gotten an answer to whether or not we're going to that place or not.*
Robin
"The Soup Shack. You lead the way."
Clara
_He raises an eyebrow_
Jacob
*Since Ralki is still on Almann, she just points to the direction of the Soup Shack. Ralki wonders how Almann had forgotten where the store was after only a couple hours, that's a terrible memory, not that she could complain, since she cannot remember her fathers face.*
Clara
_Almann walks according to her directions until he gets to the door of the inn. He lets her down and proceeds to walk into the establishment and up to the counter._
Robin
"How much for the best rooms in the house?"
Deanna
"About 20 copper for adults and 10 copper for children" *As the cook says that last bit he looks at Ralki.*
Clara
_Almann had to keep himself from laughing his ass off. Good that she looks like a kid though, save them money._

_He places 3 silver on the table._
Jacob
"I had never rented a room here before, so I'm not sure what to expect with these rooms"
