The Artisan's Allure (Vala)

[Oleana]

...76, summer, 511 A.V... Mid afternoon...

Oleana was walking through the markets of Wind Reach, it was warm but not so much so that it was uncomfortable. Even so, her mind was elsewhere. Tavaltia had said they needed to find someone with glass working capabilities and mercantile knowledge. What better place to find someone than the markets? Those were of course her thoughts weeks ago, and after searching for many days she'd found no one, Tavaltia had found nothing better either.

"...Wow, you really know about glass working. This is really high quality." Oleana over heard a person say, who was standing in front of a booth. The stall wasn't anything special or out of the ordinary, and didn't stand out at all from the other stalls. What seemed to be catching the customers eyes were the impressive glass works for trade...

...that or the merchant selling them. The clerk was clearly Inarta, and was a tiny little thing. She had soft facial features and was without a doubt adorable. if looks alone could sell all her glass works, she'd be rich, that was for sure. Still, once her pretty face drew in the customers, the impressive selection and quality of her work was what kept them there to browse and buy.

A smirk broke Oleana's focused face. Maybe she'd found her ticket? Oleana approached the stall silently and looked at the impressive glass works. She picked up a random glass work and inspected it. in truth, she had next to no idea what she was doing looking at the glass, but she had to test this merchant.

"This is quite good. I'm impressed... you made these, right? Oleana asked.
