Chapter 16: Sly Deal
The duo found the first ship to Lunar was leaving in an hour so to pass the time they took another look around the city near the airship docks. Once the hour was up and all travelers heading to the island of moons, the captain made the last checks before boarding and the engines started. They took to the air and were off with Marenzo and Alura below deck as the three women were in a higher class cabin on the deck.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW0t8LjsHK

Into the night as some were enjoying the stars and others going to bed, Rose made her way out of her cabin to look around. She approached and came to stand beside a man looking in his forties to early fifties wearing a traveler’s cloak. She eyed him over with her back pressed again one of the beams along the railing. “Hehe, hello there stranger,” she greeted and got a grunt as a response. “Might I take it right that you are a merchant?” he nodded silently while looking over his travel log book. “Judging by your stature you must be a very fine one at that.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVl4zQ2ajv

Finally he closed his book and eyed her over which brought his serious expression to turn one of interest. “You do know a good one when you spot’em. So,” he shifted to put the book away, “what is it you be looking for little miss?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY4InKEmny

She adjusted her stance as she slipped with a turn to lean forwards on the railing. “I did hear a small rumor you have items on you for sale that take a while to be made. Would I be correct with these rumors?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsvDVNYCXV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVLgVb3Nvk
He nodded while enjoying the sight. “You did hear right. What are you looking for and how much are you willing to pay?” he questioned then added, “and how do you plan to pay?” he had a bit of a purr to his hushed tone as well as a small chuckle, thinking she was offering him a one night stand.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod41xnqcTC

“I just need something portable that can knock out a wizard for long enough that I can get what I want.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u4ni29YsV

“Hmm…” he thought over his inventory on him then nodded. “I would have something but the article of payment hasn’t be answered.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNfB4QL4j8

Rose elegantly bent over, lifting her dress some as she reached up her leg to taunt his senses before her hand vanished under the fabric. She noted the look as he followed the fabric up to see her upper thigh and soon her hand came out after pulling a blade out from under a leather strap. She stood upright with a bit of a wave motion of her body as the fabric fell back down to around her ankles. “This will be the payment for the item I seek.” She whispered with a steamy tone.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFDg6cpH1S

The merchant raised an eyebrow at her and took the blade, keeping his cloak closed enough to hide the fact she had gotten the response from his body she wanted to cause. He looked the blade over, removing it from its sheath and sniffed it. “Ah, I see you have connections. These aren’t sold on the open market.” This comment made her smirk with pride. “I suppose this will be a fair trade.” He reached into his cloak to store the weapon and started to pull out a normal looking ring. “What kind of wizard are you aiming to target with this?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBSoPn4f9W
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBVaNqVtEE
“A human wizard,” she responded as she folded her arms, “I doubt he’s all that powerful.” He nodded and handed her the ring. She took it and looked the average looking accessory. “You aren’t ripping me off are you?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38O6TFCrHw

He shook his head. “Nope, that was hand crafted and if you press in on the sides it will push out a small needle. One prick will be enough to daze a human for roughly a minute or two.” She nodded as she tried it on. “It has a use up to three times before it uses up the mixture inside the round surface.”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhkdf2btoF

“Sounds like a good deal.” She expressed pleased and tested it by pressing on the sides after turning the ring upside down. She was pleased to see a small round needle that resembled a thorn off a flower.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHSk7CTx0K

“Well it was a pleasure to do business with you. Can I get your name?”759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MPP43u1hk

She looked up to him from the ring as she brought in the point and nodded, motioning him closer. He leaned in and she softly stroked along his neck as she began to whisper with moist breath. “My name is,” she noticed his body shiver and just as she took a breath to speak it was when she brought the other hand up and quickly pricked him through his cloak to his neck.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfEOo4rQ7P

He fell back with a stumble due to a strong sudden rush that felt like a hangover. She stepped back and swiftly made her way back to her cabin, giving a cute little wave with wiggling her fingers. “Bye dear sir~” she sang sweetly with a giggle and she was gone. When he recovered enough he couldn’t remember where she went due to his then distorted vision. He sighed and rubbed his head embarrassed then went to retire in his own cabin to relax during the trip.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ozkwivG2
