Evie and I ran as fast as we could to the nearest merchant, "We would like to sell you some things, such as jewelry, candelabras, etc." "You children are much too young for selling this stuff, how will I tell if you stole it?" Evie butts in, "From a dead woman, she will be unless you vend to us, she sent us to sell these goods, pure goods, so we could buy some medicine, so, could we spare the details and get our money?" The merchant paused in anguish, He whispers,"I know what you're trying to do, but it works anyways!"  He suddenly turns from anguished in to extravagant in a flash, the merchant speaks, "I'll take everything from you with what you have to offer me, a fair warning, I can only pay you with a minimum of a thousand blunes, some food, and if you want to buy a dog or a horse from me that will be at least fifty blunes, and all the amenities for  ten extra blunes."

"Can you please not say hitting beside the head it's making my stomache about to hurl, And we will take your son, you need to tell him to behave, and stay quiet unless spoken to, and we're going to need a cart and a horse, can he ride or tame a horse?" "Of course, I'm glad you take my offer, treat him with care, and what ever you do, don't mock him or piss him off in anyway." "why?" "Just beacuse I said so, now go!" he yells "CHISTOPHER!" The boy comes running out, I whisper to Evie, "Evie it's the boy, from our classes, it's the boy...."
