“How much for two bundles today?” she asked.
The dead-eyed feline’s gaze fell on her and, for the briefest of moments, she could see the flicker of a merchant’s spirit behind his eyes before the pale glaze took hold once more. He held up four fingers but said nothing.

Not a bad price, but…

“A bit steep,” she said, feigning disinterest whilst biting her lip. “How about three-five?”

Clearly, he was in no mood to haggle. There were few other vendors who offered such quality torigin even in this city, so Mika was forced to relent and accept his price. She gave him the four coins and the glaze on his eyes disappeared in an instant as his soft features curled into a smile.

“You—”

She could not believe she fell for his deception. Next time, she would be sure to get the better of him!

Torigin tucked away safely within her satchel, Mika left the cunning cat to his stall and turned her nose to the air, allowing the mixture of herbs, spices, and dozens of different species to come together within her nostrils. Judging by the smells, somebody nearby must have eaten something particularly revolting in the last few hours, making it difficult to detect much else.

Even so, the scent of zinjabar was quite distinct and not easily masked.

Neither was its appearance: there was nothing else like it, making it easy to find despite the foul stench and the winding alleys. There, in the distance, she spotted the unmistakable gnarled clusters of zinjabar. With a bright-eyed smile and a spring in her step, she made her way over.

Behind the stall stood a leporid girl wearing a traditional brown Aristan dress, her silver hair tied into a thin half-crown braid, allowing her long locks to fall freely to the small of her back where they were kept from blowing wild by a golden band. Smaller braids adorned with beads frame her rounded face.

Mika approached the stall, drawing the proprietress’ attention with a wave. She looked remarkably young, barely old enough to own a business of her own, yet there she stood with all the apparent confidence of a seasoned merchant: she had clearly been doing this for a long time.

The girl smiled, the three thumbprint-sized dots tattooed on her left cheek stretching as she announced, “Only six per tangle!”

Expensive, but worth it. “Three please!” Mika chimed with pleasant tune.

Zinjabar Propriatress

Her satchel bulged with the added zinjabar tangles, seemingly threatening to burst open and spill its contents at any moment which made securing the metallic catch much too difficult to be worth the effort. Instead, rather than fighting to keep it closed, Mika adjusted the sling so the satchel could rest high upon her back. However, although she would not likely spill anything now, whether she could navigate the chaotic markets without bumping into someone was another matter.

One she preferred to avoid.

Ducking into a narrow alley nearby, she left behind the strangely melodious chorus of voices calling out from their colourful market stalls. The sky above her head soon turned from the endless blue with its soft clouds to the suffocating gray of steel where the market’s haphazard buzz gave way to the steady whir of machinery.

Even here among the busiest markets of Arista, there were places where one might yet find the peace of solitude. Because most species could not handle being confined within such narrow spaces, the tunnels were rarely used anymore, but as a mouse, she could not feel more at home in this place. There was something just so inviting about the way the faint whistling of winds outside caressed her ears and the constant hissing of pressure within the pipes danced upon her whiskers.

Walking through the maze of stone with the ever-present churning of mechanisms buried deep within the walls to keep her company, Mika allowed her thoughts to turn inward and her feet to move of their own accord. Before she knew it, the clamouring of a dozen voices all vying to be heard over one another roused her from her musings.
