One Man's Treasure II [Day 1, Late Afternoon, Open]

[Ikkit the Bastard]

He blinked, then gestured to their surroundings.

"Reckon we could find you one, handy enough. Whatcha need it for?"

[Illiam'iira]

"Reckon we could find you one, handy enough. Whatcha need it for?"

"Well, most the people I meet here seem to think I'll die the second a stiff breeze hits me." She shrugs, looking deeply uncomfortable with that fact. "I know I get in trouble easy, so, I figure, if it'll help me out while I'm here, what's the harm? 'Sides, most people are too busy to answer my questions, and I got told maps aren't that useful for the city cause it changes so much. A mimir would be helpful for that, wouldn't it?"

"Well then."

He started rolling up his blanket.

"If it'll shut 'em up, money well spent. And they can be dead handy. Grew up here, so never much wanted one myself..."

He slung the resulting bundle over his shoulder.

"Let's see about finding one as isn't overpriced. Y'might wanna consider hiring a tout if the need strikes you. Escort Guild touts are a handy bunch, and they're kindly enough to tattoo their foreheads with blue circles so they can be easier to find than freelancers."

Illi starts sparkling: she guessed correctly, he is a Sigil native! "Thank you, Mister Ikkit! It's very much appreciated!" She nods as she listens. "Yes! That might be best, getting someone who's job it is, and payin' 'em. Makes it worth their time." The girl has enough sense to only think it, but she appreciates how kind he's being, all things considered. Makes her happy, too, in a way that gets her glowing. No matter where you go people will surprise you. "I definitely wanna explore the city, see what all's here, y'know? If I'm gonna be in Sigil, I wanna enjoy it, I wanna love it!"

[Ikkit the Bastard]

"I definitely wanna explore the city, see what all's here, y'know? If I'm gonna be in Sigil, I wanna enjoy it, I wanna love it!"

Ikkit nodded, the gesture causing something in his sack to clank.

"We got something for all tastes, so keep your eyes sharp, and your mind working, and Sigil will look after you."

[Illiam'iira]

"We got something for all tastes, so keep your eyes sharp, and your mind working, and Sigil will look after you."

That eases her heart. If she thought he wouldn't hate it, she'd give Ikkit a hug. "Do you have a favorite place? Where do you go for fun?" Illiam'iira starts to wiggle in place, suddenly full of energy and ready to go wherever Ikkit leads her!

"Well, the Ditch is a good earner for me, and I kinda like the sound it makes as it melts stuff... got a few good watering holes, and the House of the Griffin is always good for a fight!"

He scratched his chin as he continued leading.

"Honestly, I work a fair bit to keep my kip, an' there's a great satisfaction in selling someone their own trash, which I get to do sometimes..."

[Illiam'iira]

"Honestly, I work a fair bit to keep my kip, an' there's a great satisfaction in selling someone their own trash, which I get to do sometimes..."

Okay, maybe don't go to the House of the Griffin alone, noted!

Illi giggles at the thought; she can imagine a few Waterdhavian nobles you could do that to. "What was the most satisfying time you did that?"

[Ikkit the Bastard]

"What was the most satisfying time you did that?"

"Oh, that's easy... I was working some bins in the Lady's Ward, and some toff berk had decided that his shoes were unfashionable. Heavy sack, that was... but I dragged those shoes back t'my kip, looked 'em over. Big human feet, y'know? Only so many buyers. So I buffed 'em up a bit, and sat on 'em for a week. Took one pair at a time to the market. No takers. Until I see this berk with some basher holding his jink for him. 'Oh my! I used to have a pair of shoes like that, how quaint! I can't find them anywhere since my old cobbler retired! How much?!'"

Ikkit grinned at the memory.

"I was feeling nice. Only took 'im for more'n I usually pull down in a month. Did it again. And again. Until the shoes ran out."

[Illiam'iira]

"I was feeling nice. Only took 'im for more'n I usually pull down in a month. Did it again. And again. Until the shoes ran out."

Oh yep, yep, that sounds like a rich noble alright. Her giggling grows. "Yeah, sounds about right. Don't know how good you've got it 'til it's gone, as they say." She looks around as they walk. There's a skip to her step. "If you ever want help cleaning stuff up for market, let me know, okay? I like cleanin' stuff and can do a little repair and embroidery work too. Ain't a professional but it's fun work, and I like seeing trinkets, if, erm, you hadn't noticed." It's hard not to blush admitting she likes little things so much.
