The assault on Salty Pier

[Anastasia]

The trip to Whimsical Sweets is uneventful. Business looks brisk enough, people coming and going from the outside. A banner levitates above the door that reads, '25% off everything today! A splendid special selection!'

[Nephrite]

Only 25%?

Deplorable!

Moore continues along to the entrance. Hopefully this won't be a terribly difficult conversation to try and have...

[Anastasia]

Alas, 80% off remains far away from vulnerable DMs.

It smells so sweet in here. Candy of all types is laid out, row after row and rack after rack. Customers mill about, shopping away. Kaja licks his lips slowly, "Well done for a Prime," he murmurs, going to shop.

Only a few saleswomen are around right now, herding the hordes of shoppers.

[Nephrite]

Moore will simply fly over and wait to be noticed, but turn his charisma on to hopefully get some attention!

[Anastasia]

The two of you get some looks indeed, soon a saleswoman - a bit frumpy but with a nice smile, a 30something human - approaches. "Good sirs," she says, "How can I help you?"

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles.

"Hello. I'm sorry to intrude and... I realize this is probably going to cause some issues, but I think honesty is the best policy." He clears his throat. "I'm a friend of Sylvie's."

[Anastasia]

"Oh! I'm sorry, but Sylvie hasn't been here for some time," The woman says.

[Nephrite]

"I know." Moore says with a reassuring smile. "I'm here because of her son, but I should probably speak to his guardian about this, who... I believe she is here as well?"

[Anastasia]

"Ah. I see. Wait here," The woman says, "I'll be right back."

Meanwhile Kaja's eyeing some sort of chocolate covered fruit, slowly licking his lips as he takes a few packages of it.

[Nephrite]

"We probably can't convince any of them to share their recipes, unfortunately." Moore says. "Well... maybe..." He taps his chin.

[Anastasia]

"I'll be right back," Kaja says, going to pay for his purchases, and also grabbing a few other boxes and bags of candy as he goes.

[Nephrite]

"A dragon with a sweet tooth... Who would've guessed." Moore muses to himself.

[Anastasia]

Sec here on the other topic.

[Nephrite]

So noted.

[Anastasia]

Kaja comes back with his purchases as the woman returns, "This way," she says, leading you to a stairway.

Merging you into the topic on Seira's node. Locking this one.
