Cauldron Festival

"Have you met him?" Marie asks, before pointing at Seira. "Seira met him. I'll trust her judgement!"

[Corwin]

Seira tries one!

"Met him, stabbed him, he threw a tantrum and ran away. He also fell for a really cheap scam and I got to overcharge him." She blinks. "You might say he paid me for the privilege of stabbing him."

[Anastasia]

The fruit is quite good. Sweet, though, almost too sweet.

[Corwin]

"How about ten gold, to the orphan fund?" Seira voices. "What's the fruit?"

[Anastasia]

"That was an orange," The woman smiles, "Thank you, that'll really help."

Meanwhile Antenora comes over and murmurs to Marie, "I thought you'd be all over candied fruit, or still holding back?"

[Ebiris]

"Letting the shrimp taste sit on my tongue," Marie answers. "There'll be plenty of sweet things waiting for me in Balmuria!"

[Anastasia]

"Uh huh," Antenora says slowly, starting to smile. "I'm surprised you have the rigid, lawful discipline to hold out that long. I'm impressed."

[Ebiris]

"Oh, Antenora..." Marie rolls her eyes and reaches up to pat the newly ascended goddess on the cheek condescendingly. "How sad would it be if I did exactly what you expected every time? You need my chaotic unpredictability in your life."

[Anastasia]

Smiling right back as you pat her cheek, "I believe that's chaotic for 'I have no idea what I'm doing but they'll believe that, right?'" Antenora says.

[Ebiris]

Marie steps back, eyes widening. "That line used to always work! You've gotten smarter!"

[Corwin]

"Where are you from?" Seira asks curiously, sending the purchased plate to Vayley and buying a second one to share with her friends.

[Anastasia]

With a smirk, "So I have, Marie. So tell me - shall we talk about a vacation to Mechanus now?"

As Marie faces unchecked horror, the woman smiles, "Lobanar." A small, poor nation on an unremarkable Prime, whom your faithful have aided, as you recall.

[Ebiris]

"Guh..." Marie makes a stricken noise, before she recovers and smiles. "Okay then," she hugs Antenora. "After I get back from seeing Mystra that's what we'll do."

[Corwin]

Antenora better get in line to get approval for that if she wants it to happen that year, Seira muses.

"Ah, of course," she tells the seller. "I won't take any more of your time. Just don't forget to have some fun after you're all sold out~"

[Anastasia]

"Thank you, oh gracious lady!" As Seira gets bows Antenora smiles a bit, "Your next visit to Mystra, hm?"
