<div align="center">Sylvia (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=123157.msg5405714#msg5405714)<br/></div><br/>Vitani was soon in conversation with a handsome youth of the village that seemed considerably better presented than one would think of villagers, and good thing too.<br/><br/>Sylvia had noticed how shy Vitani was, even with other accepted and talking to a handsome man was a very positive thing for ones confidence. Not that she needed any with how good that girl was at healing, phew, it did blow away other the other accepted when in training sessions with the Yellow Asjah mentors. But that meant nothing to other areas for many, perhaps Sylvia was wrong but the accepted shrugged never-the-less<br/><br/>But this was two rivers. While Moraine and Lan were busy with other mattes Sylvia looked at her pouch. 2 silver marks ! her parents would be ashamed. "Always consider one thing Sylvia no matter what gold is everything, everything changes with gold. There is one golden rule, whoever has the gold make the rules. Never be caught without gold."<br/><br/>She then thought quickly, this was two rivers ! this place was renown for the best tabac. But what could one get with 2 silver marks ? and she needed an apple.<br/><br/>Sylvia smiled then approached the tavern keeper.<br/><strong><br/>"Good evening sir !"</strong>She curtsied and smiled<br/><br/>"Hi humble Sylvia are merely an accepted of the white tower, yearning for the Shawl, ignored by all those who unfortunately have better things to do than give me attention, but liked by those not so busy I hope have traveled from those ivory walls to be here for reasons none speak to me of ! and am I delighted by the character of your adorable village"<br/><br/>Although her words were flowery she was being honest and did talk so naturally.<br/><br/>"I am a daughter of a merchant family that has instilled values for traders like yourself as the cornerstone of societies."<br/><br/>She smiled before then straightened her posture and composed herself more regally.<br/><br/>"I yearn for the great serpant ring and pray within weeks I could be a true Aes Sedia. Once done I do seek to have trade, roads and merchantism re-visted as what sustains the world more so than nobles who change on a heartbeat with one battle and the next. I have promised my horse that I could give her the sweetest of apples, but also hope for some two rivers tabac to sell elsewhere but ideally have some seeds have for more than symbolic purposes.<br/><br/>I know that tabac is not just seeds but the soil and care that makes two rivers famous but seeds from such a plant are still useful, and highly symbolic of what is trade to many."<br/><br/>She then planted the two silver marks down on the table.<br/><br/>"For a sweet apple for my mare, some tabac to trade and a pinch of seeds, I hope two silver marks could see such, but if not is there anything I can see to that could manage so? For I feel while my mentor is busy seeing to serious matters, perhaps time exists for me to quickly see to something a mere accepted could manage?"<br/>
