Once the the market Roseanna, Aryia and Angela soon were feverishly discussing how to best spend the gold they had and after a furious whispers all had agreed and split off to see to different aspects of whatever strange plan  they devised.<br/><br/>Roseanna quickly found<br/><br/>"The Rose Appocacathy"  (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rj_nIT5XXsU/Sl3EX4T2g6I/AAAAAAAAC3Q/7rqF2JG5OU0/s400/6a00d834524f6f69e200e54fb865778833-800wi.jpg) in the centre of the marketplace  which agreed to spilting the profits evenly after Roseanna handed over a considerable amount  of gold with the  the understanding that the store was to upgrade the store to manage  additional potions and  salves that the Mistpeak witch knew of.<br/><br/>Soon talk of potions which could make fluids from ones privates be of a scent and taste of ones choice, salves that permanently stopped hair growing in different places, ones that changing eye color skin tone and even salves that removed wrinkles and skin blotches had her fellow owner smiling broadly, once sure the other was  equality enthused of the profit potential of expanding so, Roseanna handed over more to see the woman buy glassware and extend the store's own size to manage the increased aspirations.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, after rumming through maps to find that the land towns dotted about the city, Aryia haggled the purchase of<br/>a large and a small sloop  (http://www.halfmoon.mus.ny.us/2009freshriver/related_programs/daily_logs/7_18/7_18_37.jpg) which were currently at the docks. After which Ariya spoke liberally on using it to ferry city market goods to nearby towns via the river and coast over using the roads to all trade store owner that cared to listen.<br/><br/>Talk of avoiding the use of roads for such things to let the roads grow over, allowing the forest to reclaim areas best used by wilds plants and animals had some nodding, some shrugging. Still the novelty of giving it a go did interest some, and soon some market traders began talks with the ships captains to organise profit margins and cargo room to make the though worthwhile for all parties concerned.<br/><br/>The beginnings of trade fleet, as small as it may be at this point greatly satisfied Aryia who then left the markets with her hands full of scroll maps, quills and inkwells ...<br/><br/>Most of  Angela gold also went into what Roseanna and Aryia were endeavoring, but enough was let over to purchase leather armour (http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/221290) at least, and perhaps a hundred or so gold to spare.<br/><br/>Not knowing if Akara would insist it on its inappropriateness or not had her feeling uneasy about the purchase, but the idea of Angela fensing with one famous for their swordplay without one did give her a desire to be protected, at least in a token manner, even if her trainer was so experienced not to land a blow, the thought was intimidating and anything to feel that was something between Akara's sword and her own flesh seemed a damn good idea to Angela.<br/><br/>*<br/><br/>(http://www.lagreca-dmc.com/files/Grand%20Master%20Palace-courtyard%20through%20arch.jpg)<br/><br/>The training courtyard Akara found herself in was one of many, it was the one closest to her room but another much larger grass covered courtyard was present to use if the hero so later decided. Several of the statues automatically began to set into motion once Akara entered, minutes later every odd one was holding a deep bowel full of pure cold water while every statue between had large thick towels for any using them to dry themselves draped over each arm<br/><br/>Before Akara became impatient with her student, Angela did appear with a statue servant in toe, this one carrying a platter covered with fruit and dried meats.<br/><br/>"I'm so sorry Im late Akara" Angela stumbled "I hope this armour is ok, I wasn't sure what sort of armour is good for the swords you have in mind for me" she let out in a rush.<br/><br/>"Akara, I wont be late again but please forgive me I would have been on time then I remembered how little you have been eating recently, and well you have to eat for both of us remember ? I know dinner will come in a few hours, but I know what your like your barely going to touch any food placed in front of you no matter how much or well presented, please please Akara ... I "<br/><br/>... she then dropped her shoulders as if defeated<br/><br/>"I wan't to share your bedchambers Akara, it just seems wrong for me not to, and its the only way I can be sure I can force some food into you, for us both you know."<br/><br/>She then stopped talking feeling she may have said too much too quickly and adopted a self conscious posture while the statue holding the food took up a place in a corner of the yard, lifted the platter over its head, then bent its knees to sit cross legged before becoming solid stone again.<br/>
