11th Fall, 520AV
It was fairly early in the day and already Ari’Ellin was out and about, buying everything she might need for the day. Her first stop was the Jugged Hare, just to see if they had any bones that she would be able to practice with. She’d grabbed her backpack and her money as she left the house, making her way from Sharai peak to Shinyama peak until she could see the butchers shop and a wide grin spread across her face.
“Morning. You have bone?” she asked warmly as she entered the currently quiet shop and saw the older human woman that seemed to be the one in charge of the shop.
“Bones? Depends on what exactly your looking for.” Varda responded and Ari grinned wider, thankful that the woman didn’t seem to struggle with understanding her less than ideal grasp of the common language.
For a few moments Ari’Ellin stayed quiet as she thought about what she had in mind before speaking. “Strong wild animal, like pig? Bone from chest, like this?” she decided, pointing to her rib cage and hoping that the woman would be able to understand her.
“A rib bone of a wild boar?” the woman said and Ari nodded rapidly, focusing on the word rib as she tried to commit it to memory. If she wanted bones in the future it was best to learn their common names. “Well we have a few in stock at the moment, nobody has wanted them for stock yet so how many do you want?” the woman asked.
Again Ari’Ellin was stuck for a couple of moments as she tried to decide what to do. She only had ideas for one bone, though if she messed up her plans she’d be left hoping that the butchers still had bones available.
“Please two.” she managed to say, deciding that it would be best to have enough to account for any possible mistakes that she could make in the carving process.
“That will be two kina then please.” the woman said and Ari nodded, digging around in her bag until she’d managed to find two kina, then handing them over and accepting the two rib bones that the woman handed over.
Stepping outside the butchers shop, Ari took a moment to look over the bones and hummed softly. Both appear to be undamaged, and though most of the meat had been removed from the bones already, there appeared to be a few ligaments and tendons still attached that she would have to find a way to remove.the remnants and make the bones smoother and easier to carve. For that she knew that she’d need a market!
Quickly she made her way across the peaks to the Azure Market that located itself on Zintia peak.
Smiling softly as she looked around the market she found a few things that she thought could be useful for cleaning the bones.
First she’d found a large cooking pot that she had been told would hold up to two gallons of water. The man running the stall had sold it to her for five topaz kina. Ari believed that perhaps boiling the bones in water before attempting to clean them would hurry the process and make it considerably easier for herself.
Next she’d managed to purchase a yard of cloth that she couldn’t identify. It was plain and light brown in colour, though it was clean and that was what matter to Ari most. The woman running that stall had charged her five topaz kina for the cloth. Ari was more intending on using it as a rag to try to wipe the rib bones clean and hopefully polish them slightly.
Finally she’d found a stall selling supplies for tailors and seamstresses. Ari herself had very little knowledge of sewing, however the stall was also selling some lengths of yarn. If she wanted to make a talisman that would be wearable, she knew she would have to tied it to something, and the yarn seemed to be a better option than a regular, thin thread. The yarn had cost her five topaz kinda again, and happy with her purchases, Ari’Ellin made her way back to her home in the Okomo Estates on Sharai Peak.
Ledger Updates-3k, 5tk for the 2 boar rib bones, 2 gallon cooking pot, yard of cloth, and yarn.
