(g'ight, Hawk!)
"I hope so." Smokey replied, reaching into the saddlebag strapped to his side and pulling out a parchment. "Do you have six measures of lizard bile, a cinnamon-soaked river pebble and... um-" He frowned and held the paper closer, not quite believing what he was reading. ".... bottled essence of fog?" This is why he became a guard, not a healer. His tail swished as he looked back up at the masked merchant to see if the man could be of any help at all, then added. "I will not blame you if you think I'm insane, but that's whats written here. "

Arlo walked along the path, trying to remember the dream she'd had the night before. It had seemed so strange, so important, when she'd woke up... but the more she thought about it, the less she remembered. She didn't notice the merchant's cart until she was walking past it. Arlo didn't have much money, but there were a few things that she'd been wanting to buy.

"I have the lizard bile," Zacharie said, holding out a small string-tied sack. Then he pulled out a stone, turning it in his hand to examine it himself. "...And this looks like it might be from the river..." Arlo caught his eye and he grinned when she walked by. "Hello there! Care to purchase anything?" he asked excitedly.
(I can't believe I fell asleep! xD I figured I'd put this out there since we got people together)

(Oops, fell asleep.
Edit: lovely timing Raz xD )
"Great! Six gold bits for the both of them?" Smokey reached into a smaller pouch to find the coins, and handed them to the merchant at the same time he accepted the things from the other's hands. Easiest not to get scammed that way. Then he waited to see if the merchant could find the other thing in his cart, tapping one of his back legs against the ground and looked around. Then the centaur spotted a mysterious, cloaked woman sort of drifting up the road and sidestepped a little to get out of her way. He wasn't scared of her exactly, but a good general rule of thumb is not to mess with people wearing black capes. It keeps you alive longer.

After handing Smokey the items, he stood back and leaned on the cart with one arm. "What is it?" he chuckled as he noticed that Smokey was waiting there, the merchant's attention drawn away from Arlo. "I don't know where you can find... whatever else it was you asked for, but it isn't here. I have other wares if anything catches your eye," he suggested, using his free hand to gesture to the weapons, scarves, herbs, gadgets, and et cetera.

"Alright." Smokey eyed the merchant's wagon longingly as he packed away the stone and pouch into his bag. But as tempting as some of the items were, if he spent any extra gold he would be in bigger trouble than before. "Um, yeah no, but thanks." Above all else, he hated disappointing his leader twice on the same day. "I might stop by again though tomorrow."

(Heyo! Sorry I wasn't too active yesterday.) "Yeah, nightmares." Eleanor put her hands on her hips. "And I remember some things. Like in one of them I was eating a lot of candy!" She gave a wide grin. "That wasn't a nightmare." Obviously. "In some of them, I think I'm going to die..." She drifted off into thought, her grin having disappeared. Death. It seemed that both of their nightmares had this feeling in common. "I've... Been having strange dreams too." Calypso finally admitted, quickly taking a bite from her orange before the strong scent could distract her again. This was a all strange coincidence. Was it common for people to have similar dreams at the same time?

(Alright, I'll have Matt run into them if neither of you mind ^^)
A young paper boy was walking down the road, sighing as he counted the money he had made. It still wasn't enough to but something at the bakery. Matteo shoved the money away and scanned the street ahead. He brightened up as he spotted two individuals ahead. Perhaps he could pawn some papers off on them! He quickly grabbed a small handful from the bag and headed over, smiling. "Greetings!"

Eleanor was chewing her orange thoughtfully, finishing the last piece. "Really? What a coincidence!" she gasped. "Do you have the dream where you're at a party, and your friend who was supposed to bring a dessert dish forgot and you don't have any dessert?" Apparently this was a common one for the jester.
"What a shame," Zacharie sighed. At least he had managed to sell a few items, but it had been a slow day so far. "Well, I hope to see you then, if I am here," he chuckled. "Greetings!" he said to Matteo when the boy approached, turning slightly to face him. "Care to browse my wares today?" he offered with a grin.

"Hello!" Smokey replied, grinning at the small human. "Say, do you know where to buy fog in a jar?" He probably wouldn't, but the centaur reasoned it wouldn't hurt to ask. Besides, often the younger ones knew more than the elders about strange objects.

Matteo smiled at both of them, then stood on his tip toes to peek at what was inside the cart. He took a step back, shaking his head. "S-sorry, but I probably don't have enough to buy anything," he muttered, also shaking his head at Smokey. "And no, I don't know where to buy fog in a jar...I actually came over here to see if either of you wanted to buy a paper." He said, flipping the papers around so they could read the headlines.

Zacharie didn't seem too disappointed, especially when Matteo mentioned selling the paper. "Hmmm... All right." He smiled and held out a coin for the paper. Then he looked over at Smokey again. "May I ask what you need this fog in a jar for?" he questioned, seeming quite curious. He had not heard of such a thing, and perhaps it would be useful to add to his collection.

"Thanks, mister!" Matt took the coin away from Zacharie and then handed him one of the papers. He placed the coin with the rest of the money he had collected, which wasn't much, and then looked over at Smokey. He was also curious about this fog in a jar.

"Beats me. I was just told to fetch it." Smokey shrugged, tail swishing irritably. He didn't like not knowing either, and he hated doing chores without reason. "My herd's healer uses it for something I suppose. I wouldn't know." He snorted. "I don't even know where to find the stuff, they just told me someone it Detlas sold it." He bent down to examine the small human's parchment. "Sorry kid." He said after a moment. "Dunno how many bits I'll have to pay for fog, maybe another time."

(Hey arlo! We haven't moved lol)
Zacharie unfolded the paper and began examining it quietly, not seeming too interested in the words themselves. He turned it over several times, and then glanced over at Smokey again. "Well, perhaps I should invest in this 'fog in a jar'," the murmured thoughtfully, smiling.

Matteo blinked at his explanation of the smoke in a bottle. What a strange story... He thought, then shook a hand out in front of him, trying not to look disappointed as he put the rest of the papers away. "It's fine, I understand." He then turned back toward the cart and stepped forward to look inside again. "On second thought, I might look at what you have."

"Be my guest!" Zacharie leaned closer in on the cart and gestured to his wares. An array of blades hung from the top by hooks, and there were small shelves with herbs and the like in labeled containers. There were also cloth scarves and cloaks, and on one end was a little wall of masks similar to the one the merchant himself wore. "See anything you fancy?" he asked in a chuckle, watching Matteo expectantly.

"Hmm..." Arlo tilted her head slightly as she looked at the cart. "Do you have charcoal or pencils... something I could use to draw?" Her sister had asked her to draw a picture for her earlier that day but she hadn't been able to find anything to draw it with. (( Brb i think edit- back ))

"Good luck finding someone who sells it." Smokey shook his head. "Or knows what it is." He glanced at the sun's position in the sky, gauging the daylight hours left. "Hey, if I find someone who has more than one for sale, I'll bring back an extra and we can make a deal. Sound good?"

"Um..." Matteo hummed as he scanned through the items. Eventually, he picked up a solid grey color scarf and held it up to the merchant. It was a bit too oversized for the boy, but he didn't know any better. "How much is this, mister?" He asked as he gathered his money out of his pocket.

Zacharie stood upright and his arm left the cart. "I have charcoal here," he said, opening a drawer and putting a small cloth bag on the shelf there to show it to Arlo. Then he looked over Matteo's scarf for a moment. "Seven pence," he told the boy, smiling as he admired the scarf. It had been on the cart for a while though, and he was willing to part with it.
(hey dawn! :3)
