[ Pardon the focus being a little wonky at first. Yue's not all that used to modern technology. Never really needed it, moving around as much as she does. ]

Good morning everyone!

Name's Yue, and if you ever need fancy or rare knickknacks from all over, I'm your gal! See, I've been a traveling merchant for a while now, and I'm no stranger to going here, there, and yonder to find whatever it is you want!

I'll be settin' up shop in the house they've oh so kindly provided me when I moved in. It might not look the part of a good brick-and-mortar for a while, but don't you worry about that. For now, my wares are mostly warm food and jewelry, but my selection'll expand once I get properly rooted.

Hope to see y'all soon!

I've been living there for quite awhile now. Had more than my share of adventures before coming out here.

[He pauses, and thinks for a moment.]

Come to think of it, your name's familiar. ...You had a general store in Seahaven, right? I don't remember ever seeing you there... just some weirdo vampire and his penguin assistants keeping the store up.

[bestmerchant]

Keeping up the...store?

[ Oh ]

...he took care of the store for me?

[skyknightone]

Yeah, he did. Last time I was in town, he was still was running it, keeping it going. Looked like business was pretty good, too.

[Well, this certainly explained the name on the storefront, that's for sure. He'd always thought it was a bit strange, but he'd never asked.]

...That explains why his nametag always said "Assistant Manager," come to think of it.

[ She might be getting a little misty-eyed over here. Just a little bit, though. She hadn't thought that goofy vampire cared so much. It's both touching and painful, the latter because she can't thank him for it in person. ]

Gosh...I've really gotta give him a bonus when I see him next! A lotta sardines, chopped up and fried to a golden brown, even!

[skyknightone]

Kind of a strange bonus... but he'd probably like that, if his ravings about fish were any indication.

[It's said with just a bit of amusement.]

I'll definitely make it a point to stop by your shop very soon. It'll be good to meet another Havenite in person. I do know a couple of others from there. You'll probably meet them before long, too.

[bestmerchant]

[ She waves her hand dismissively, the grin still wide on her face. ]

Trust me, he'll dig it. But please do stop by whenever you like! We're open most of the day.

[skyknightone]

Sounds good. Also, let me know if you're ever in need of some kind of logistical support. If you need any of the stuff I'm growing or want to sell it, I'll cut you a good deal.

[bestmerchant]

Ohoho, really? Thanks a bunch! I'm sure it'll be a blast doing business with you.

[skyknightone]

Likewise, I look forward to that, Yue. By the way, I'm Manfred Vaeris. I'm commander of the SkyKnight Mercenary Fighter Squadron here and in the Havens too... so if you ever need those services either sometime, give me a call.
