The Merchant

A creature of few words, he travels up and down waterways selling to all he comes across.

My, what a long pause.
“That is good to hear…
Would you like a box of sugar bombs? Free and unopened.”

"Oh, the med stuff? I don't need that! I'm just fine, thanks, lobster guy." Clarice shook her hands free of her currently-oversized shirt and gave him 2 thumbs up.
Oh, the little one.
He did his best to crouch down, trying to appear less… scary.
“Chemicals. Not for you… unless you’re hurt.”
Stims and Radaway. He was a businessman, not a chem dealer.

Discount… on summer clothes.

“It gets too cold… can’t stay awake in the cold.” It was embarrassing, the mutation reminding him and everyone else that he was no longer human.
"Yeah, it's been pretty safe for the last while. How have you been? You just woke up from hibernation?"
“The baker… Cienn.
How are you? Been safe?”
How are you? Been safe?”

“I am…. Awake.” Not to see how much of his stock was stolen during his nap.

The cold had him practically catatonic. Despite his best efforts to repair the ship, the cold snuck inside like a thief.

He is at the gate with the remaining winter coats he has.

Lotta noise coming from their camp, but it doesn’t sound like fighting.
Is he brave enough to check it out?

“What the fuck was that?”
October 26, 2024 at 5:43 AM
“What the fuck was that?”
“It is getting easier to speak. Tirum… he helped me.” Though he was still a talking crab. Take the victories where you could get them.
“You seem very happy.”
“You seem very happy.”
"Is it bad I can barely feel it anymore?"
The Merchant could've robbed him out of hundreds of caps worth of gold, and Percy would've barely cared. The fact that he didn't meant a lot.
"You feeling better? You voice is clearer."

“Sheesh. Burns.” He looks down at the man, eyes studying him. “Good names.” Why was this guy being so nice to him? What was his game?

"Whiskey? Unless you were asking about the names in which case that's the settlement and this bar, to my knowledge."
He's grinning.
He's grinning.
He would reciprocate the toast, drinking it in one gulp. God, shit burned.
“What… was that?”

"Yessir!"
He returns with the requested One Drink, as well as another for himself. Raising his up in a toast.
"Cheers! To Haven Lake and the Double Down Bar!"

This was odd, but it was nice to have someone here that seemed pleased to seem him. “One drink,” he called out after the hunter.

"Then let's get this man a drink and some food, huh?"
He brought several plates of meat into the bar with him when he came in earlier. Much was eaten, but there was still quite a bit left.
He's getting shots for himself and the Merchant.

“Yes… I do. And I smell it. It smells… good.” He cleared his throat. “Thank you… glad to be here.”

He won't be that lucky with the hunter around. He's bouncing up to the merchant with a drunken grin.
"Do you drink? If not, I also made some crazy good food.
Glad you made it!!"
"Do you drink? If not, I also made some crazy good food.
Glad you made it!!"
“…hello.” He gives a small wave. This is weird. He shouldn’t be here. A quick glance at the door reveals his intention.

literally psyching up the crowd for the crab-man. There are plenty of villagers more than happy to cheer.
