[Closed] The Road to Jader ...

[sunshinethroughgrey]

WHO: Bethany Darton, Aleron Darton, Carver Hawke, Fenris, Alistair, and Inessa Serra
WHAT: Looking for the Champion, high and low
WHEN: Mid-Harvestmere
WHERE: The fine Orlesian city of Jader, and small town just outside of Jader.
NOTES: Warnings for ...well. The DA2 Crew. You know how these guys are.

For weeks, Bethany Darton had been searching for some hint of her older sister's whereabouts since she had heard about the demise of the Hero of Fereldan. Her determination only mounting when Carver returned home with Dog, she remembered one of Marian's last letters, sent from a trader in Jader. She rounded up some people who were actually willing to track down Marian again, and as soon as she had returned from the Island of Red Lyrium, she gathered them all up and headed down to the docks as quickly as she could manage it, to Jader itself.

"Of course."

Fortunately, they are fairly well off all things considered. Aleron's already mentally calculating the cost of the lace in the quantities that he's accustomed to his mother and sister purchasing. Having a hand on the ledgers helps in that sense. But he's a maddening customer for the poor clerk who cannot fathom how a man can be so expressionless and yet clearly doting on his wife.

"We have an accord then. How much is the lace? A large quantity of it." Bulk discount? Aleron might not be a diplomat, but he knows how to haggle a reasonable price and negotiate a bargain. Be proud, dearest, your husband has missed his life's calling.

The one merchant stares at the both, trying to figure out which one is actually playing him or if they were playing at all because he's not entirely certain. He eyes them both, then quotes a ridiculous price, just to see what would happen. What is this bit of information worth to these two anyways?

Bethany tutted softly, "For that much, I'd want all the lace in Jader."
