Paileen smiled at the others, mentioning politely that she'd be ready to make for the mines whenever they pleased.  She turned to Arden, however, her smile turning into a grin.<br/><br/>"For a member of a hunting party, I'll cut you a good deal, my friend!"  She laughed.  "I do hope we can trade by the fire, though."  And with that, and a few short pleasantries and words of gratitude exchanged with the others, she moved back to take her seat.<br/><br/>She pulled her large pouch to the side and opened it.  It was carefully arranged so that most things were easily displayed.  However, he would notice that most of her goods came from the desert regions and deep jungles, leading to an array of almost exotic herbs, minerals and salvaged creature parts.  "Because we're a team now," she said to Arden, "I'll gift you a full supply of fresh made warming drinks.  My treat."<br/><br/>She sat back wearily as anyone who was interested came by to check her wares.  She was a jovial sort, but looked tired, even when trading.  There were some parchments listing various creatures from those places, as well as elsewhere.  If asked, Painleen would wave her hand dismissively.  "I like to buy them from traders and take them with me.  After I read them, I try to add my own experiences, and sell them again.  But I only keep the prices up not to gauge the neighbors."  She takes a long sigh.  "Honestly, it means more that my customer base is alive."
