*At this point Walter descends the stairs from the upstairs room, after looking it over. He smiles at Miss Barter and speaks* "The room will be perfect for my needs dear, thank you most sincerely for allowing me usage of it. I can see you're busy with other patrons so I shall return when you close to arrange any ground rules." *With this he doffs his hat to Catherine and her customers and leaves the shop into the brawl that is Wolfenden market square.* |

*Catherine smiles and blushes then goes into shopkeeper mode and turns her attention to Phinehas.*
So what provisions are you looking for?

Dried beef, preferably. About 5 pounds, please. Or anything else you have in the way of light, nourishing food. I was also wondering if you knew of a seamstress or tailor. My lifestyle is none to easy on clothes. Then I'd like a couple of black strips of cloth that I could use as bandages. Lastly, you wouldn't perhaps know the address of that wealthy man that just kissed you, would you? I'd like to... pay him a visit.

5lbs of dried beef coming up. I only got here last night so I don't know about a seamstress or tailor but I could do the work for you if you wish and I also have stips of black cloth.
*Catherine takes a pause before she continues.*
I don't know his address but his name is Marcus Wolfgang Brinkatore the 3rd. I'm sure you could find him easily.

*Phinehas smiles and files the name away in his brain for future use.*
Thank you very much. As for the sewing... well, I guess you could do it, it's just a cloak. Black, no sleeves, long, and with a hood. Also, you don't happen to know of a thieves guild around here, do you?

*Catherine goes around the store getting the beef and strips of black cloth together.*

*Phinehas shakes his head in wonder at how she can manage to survive with prices like that. He decides to help her out.*
I'm sorry Miss, but I don't have any gold. I do have an emerald though, would that do?

*Catherine smiles.*
That'll do fine by me.
*Catherine accepts the emerald and places it in a safe place.*
The cloak will be ready for you in two day's time.
*Catherine passes over the beef and cloth.*

*Phinehas nods, and gathers up the provisions, quickly placing them in his pack.* I'll be back in two days then. In the meantime, I strongly suggest you hire a guard of some sort, this place is very insecure. Trust me, I would know. *With a quick bow, Phinehas turned toward the door and headed out into the marketplace.* |

*After the man has left Catherine goes to the shop door and closes it. The sun is setting after a late night and a busy day she is glad to close up. The comment Phinehas worried her and she would think about it. She'd have to hire someone anyway. She puts a closed sign on the door then starts cleaning up the shop before she can go and rest.*
