Kaylee was getting Colter's produce for the store, previously that meant the feds would simply take his purchase order, fill it, and send him Alliance stamped boxes. However since that was no longer the case, she had to take the list and buy everything in bulk from the vendors using his purchase card that had been enclosed with the coin. Determined to do a good job, she had picked through the skyplex bazaar and found the best vendors that sampled the finest produce with a decent price. She enjoyed haggling, and the vendors had taken to her sweet but firm manner when it came to business. The most recent vendor, Mr. Fu, was a stout fellow in his customary robes and top knot. As he shooed a son off to gather the goods and send it over to the ship, he had a way about him that made all know he wasn't done with business yet.
"So, dare anyting else Miss. Kaylee?" He asked in a broken accent that came from lower class Sihnon, trying his best not to stare at the glassy eyed girl with the siamese cat on her shoulder.
"I don't think so." Turning to a seemingly dazed River Tam, it caused her to pause. She was simply standing there, wide eyed and clearly overwhelmed at the skyplex. It was a vast place, packed with people and vendors. The larger vendors and shipments were off in a different docking bay, the bay where Serenity was stationed. That was key as Mal had to go around and have larger more expensive supplies for Pryor bought and loaded up. However they were in the more public gathering space, where the bazaar was run by families. The vendors were crammed along the wall and in rows down the middle of the room, all small stalls with ratted awnings regardless of the obvious roof. The mass of humanity was churning, shouting, buying and pandering wears.
And River was like a statue to it all.
"You know," Mr. Fu began, breaking her concentration on the reader "you come back to me next trip, I give better discount. We form... contract? Yes? I always get orders, you get best product and best price. Everyone happy."
I really like River's cats a lot :)
nice work
