<div class="floatright">(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/025/3/c/__the_mage___by_thousandleaves-d5so483.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Jo'Shaar Zahir<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Arcadia's Cauldron to Dragon's Reach<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Afternoon<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Open, later Lucretia<br/><br/>Looking at Nessa seriously as she giggled at the request he had just made, Jo'Shaar stood mostly relaxed, watching her. He liked helping out with Alchemy when he had a chance, it was good practice even when he was just making things from bought ingredients and mixing them together at the store to sell back. It wasn't that profitable when he couldn't head on out and sell them elsewhere, but Jo'Shaar enjoyed the practice and his sharp nose helped, and besides he enjoyed the reactions the alchemy created. Each new process was a learning experience, in his mind.<br/><br/>Waiting as she checked on her list, Jo'Shaar hummed casually while nodding his head a bit at the time, waiting for her to go retrieve some as he then dug into his pockets and pulled out the set of gold he had acquired. It wouldn't probably be enough, but it would be all he had at hand so he hoped that it would convince her of his sincerity. He expected the Jarl to pay, but in case he didn't, Jo'Shaar would have to work at the alchemist's store for a while probably, just to pay his debt. Not a pleasant idea as such, it could take a while and he disliked the idea of debts, they meant interest, more often than not.<br/><br/>So as she returned with the blood, and the parchment with the bill, Jo'Shaar sighed heavily and nod to her.<strong>"This one thanks the lady. Jo'Shaar would wish to pay what he can, for now, and hopes that Jarl will pay as he should, the rest. Jo'Shaar been disappointed before though, so Jo'Shaar swears by Azurah he will cover this later by work if the Jarl ends up being as pig-headed as the source of these vials contents."</strong>He spoke it more or less as a joke, but then set down all the gold he had, other than just a few that he kept to rent a room and pay for a meal that evening.<br/><br/>One night's supply of gold, even after he had just acquired as much as he could by working in the same store with potions earlier. He didn't want to cheat people though, and made it clear with his dealings. If the Jarl paid the whole sum as he hoped, Jo'Shaar would be back for his own money later, but if not, Jo'Shaar would work it together.<strong>"Jo'Shaar hopes his money will act as collateral, until the Jarl has paid. Again, Jo'Shaar wishes to show he wants to honor his dealings."</strong>It was a touch awkward at times, but Jo'Shaar sought to go at length to prove himself trustworthy, and not just with strangers that had a reason to suspect him based on race alone, but with friends and allies as well.<br/><br/>Of course, insulting the Jarl wasn't exactly a good idea but in Jo'Shaar's mind the man had started it with the false accusation. Jo'Shaar hated nothing more than such falsehoods. They could ruin lives, and he had an image he had built, and to think that man was so casually slapping it down infuriated the Khajiit.<br/><br/><strong>"Now Jo'Shaar will mark as requested."</strong>He then leaned ahead to look at the parchment, checking the sum to make sure how much he would owe later on if he didn't get the Jarl's help on the money. Right now, Jo'Shaar really didn't trust the man, but he trusted the woman that asked him to get the blood, so he was willing to take a risk with the Jarl. After checking the parchment, Jo'Shaar wrote down his signature upon it, pressed his fingertips against the parchment briefly and used his other hand to place his sigil onto the page next to his name.<br/><br/>That business out of the way, he sighed and moved to lift the crate, muttering somewhat to himself.<strong>"Now Jo'Shaar gets to carry this all the way back to Dragon's Reach and hope he gets more answers then."</strong>Only to pause before he reached the doorway, looking back at Nessa. Bowing his head, the Khajiit spoke seriously.<strong>"This one appreciates the business. This one will return again."</strong>This said, he pushed the door with his shoulder and headed out. Only to let out a short yelp as the door shut behind him, on his tail. Wincing and setting the crate down he turned to open the door enough to get his tail out of the way, the Khajiit winced at each step as the tail sought to sway and throbbed reminding him of not letting it sway too far back. Damnit, that smarted. The box of vials wasn't exactly too light either, but Jo'Shaar was used to carrying stuff around anyway.<br/><br/>All that said and done, Jo'Shaar made his way to the steps to Dragon's Reach, moving on to wait for Lucretia there. Hoping she would be back soon, to carry out whatever plans she might have in mind. Only a few gold coins left to his name, he figured if they had to rent a room to work with the blood later on they could do so. Though he doubted the innkeepers would like to hear people were working with blood in their inn.
