★ - when asimov wasn't holed up in his office, furiously drawing and scribbling out strategic plans, he went out to do a little bit of selling. the extra goods he got were good if he felt like bartering later, and he was quite the trader. the trip to the split bridges wasn't unfamiliar and he glanced up at the spring blue sky. it's going to be night by the time i get there... he thought idly, treading on.
luckily, it seemed the trade center came alive with the stars. lanterns were lit as merchants and customers bustled past, and he could recognize a few, yet cared not to speak to them. he turned his attention to his own layout- a bit rudimentary, in all honesty, but it would do the trick. he had spread out a nice piece of red, gold-laced fabric from the traveling seamstress, and laid his ornate weapons and vials of poison on top. with him, too, he had some chains and rope, something that sold exceptionally quick for the more sadistic members of the agrelos world.
he had already made a few customers so far- perhaps it was not his goods they came for, for you could find a pretty sword anywhere, but they came for him. he had a light, charming sort of conversation, smooth and near flirty, as deadly concoctions were traded for jewelry under the pale moonlight.
in a dull moment, he leaned back, lighting a cigarette. damn... it's getting late.
