Comments and Log


Karadoc made his way in, giving a bow to those he recognized. He'd arrived with guards in tow, walking step in step with Artorius, chatting idly with him. "So, then he said, 'oh it works pretty good, but I prefer toilet paper...'" And chuckled a bit, shaking his head. He glanced around those in attendance, giving a small smile. He'd not been seen outside of Southport Square for some time. Dressed in his greens and whites, he looked sharp, except for that much too stylish, but disheveled head of hair he made so popular.

Sigurd murmurs quietly to Morrighan, "I'm just here because you decided to put stuff off for auction, Morr, and you know it. And don't be a hog now." he reaches for the whiseky, aiming to playfully tug it from her hand before taking a swig and passing back, if successful. "Should be fun, though. Brought some silver, just in case."

As Larissa slides over to stand next to her, Nisaa gives her a wide smile, bright in the bronzed tones of her features. "Is good to see you, Larissa Whisper!" She covers her mouth to hide a small giggle and says, "I do not yet have much silver to my name to give, but we shall see, yes? I have heard there will be many a beutiful thing." She looks to the front and nods to Malik. "If we can, would be lovely to."

Ariel offers warm smiles to Nisaa and Malik as she says "Please take a seat where ever it is you like. I need to get started. Do excuse me my darling Whispers." She movements now moving to the middle of the grounds.

Driskell steps down from the pillars, the steward tugging on his greatcoat a moment for a proper fit before flicking an imaginary ball of lint off his clothed bicep. Pulling his gloves off his belt, he fits them on before gesturing to servants to follow. "Do look after our guests." he says, giving one last instruction before making his way down to the auction.

Ariel drops a small round tin pot filled with a sticky mixture.

Ariel smiles brightly as she happily, but loudly, says "Welcome one and all! Thank you so much for coming to the Auction to raise funds for the Coldreach Village! I have very many lovely items up for bidding. I would like to ask everyone to bid in silver. However we are accepting payment in resources as well with each resource at the value of 250 silver each. Please stick to bidding in silver if you would all be so very kind! Once the price of an item is settled for. Please come and get the item from Dame Sameera and give her either your silver or your resources you are using to pay for your won item." She waits for everyone to settle in before she says "Our first item up for auction is: some a lovely mall round tin pot filled with a sticky mixture made my Miss Valery. A healing stav. I Shall start the bidding at 50 silver for the item. Who shall be the first to bid upon this item made with care?"

Artorius walked in with Karadoc and his small group of guards in tow. He smiled softly to Karadoc, listening to his jokes the whole trip over and offering a small chuckle. "Not bad at all Karadoc." he smiled warmly to the man, before looking to the event. He was dressed in his leather longcoat, which was probably the nicest thing he had.

Opia, a fat unblinking cat arrives, following Mirari.

Maximilian leans on the railing, glancing sidelong at Ariel. A small pot full of sticky? Oh -my-.

Clasping pale hands behind her back at the small of her waist, Carita looks over the gathering - noting largely that the crowd is comprised of individuals and many clothes worth admiring. So, she does, with a faint smile curving petal-pink lips. As the auction begins, she glances over at the first item. A second or so of interest. By the next she is glancing at someone else.

Sameera glances to Ariel at her name and dutifully moves to the Lady's side so those that don't know her know who she is. Once that is done Sameera once agan retreats to her out of the way spot.

When Sigurd moves to try and whisk some of Morrighan's liquor from her grasp, Brahm fluffs up his feather, hissing at the nobleman - as if that was incredibly threatening at all. "It's for a good cause," she murmurs aside to him, leaning over enough to elbow his armored ribs. "An' I'll hog my liquor if'n I damn well please," comes a low mutter following, but the redhead sniffs lightly at the air before handing the flask over. Sharing is caring. Or something like that. She cocks her hip to one side, lingering towards the back of the crowd, arms loosely crossed, falling silent to listen to Ariel's beginning announcements to start the auction.

Olivia scoots up a little closer to the front, in some attempt at getting closer to the pot. Because sticky potions are interesting, in the comparing-notes sort of sense of it.

Karadoc found a couple empty seats, taking one, and motioning to Artorius, "If you see anything you like, let me know. I'll see about making a bid for you. No promises." He chuckled. He raised a brow, "Healing salve... Hm." He put a hand up idly, "I will bid 50 silver."

As the auction starts, Malik gives Nisaa a tug and leads her hand-in-hand over to the fountain. There, he finds them both a seat, getting his friend settled before he too takes a seat. There is a curious glance to the first item up for auction, but for the moment, he passes on the item.

Malik has joined the Central Fountain.

Larissa was actually giddy when Malik showed himself to be a Whisper also and she reaches out to take both his and Nissa's hands with a warm squeeze "I can't believe I've not spoken to either of you personally yet. I am absolutely thrilled to find our house ever growing. We /must/ spend some time getting to know each other soon" she insists before passing a wicked grin to Nissa "Then we shall just have to find someone to buy it for you..." she insists, passing a wink to Malik just as a familar voice pulls her attention to the door and an altogether different sort of smile spreads across her face "Such as a handsome Baron" she says and notes Karadoc sliding into a seat "Let's go sit" she whispers to the others and moves to take the seat next to the Saik Lord with a smile and a whisper beneath her breath.

Maximilian nods to Karadoc as he places a bid on the salve. First bid is always the hardest.

Mirari makes her way onto the estate grounds, dressed for the warm weather in a lycene style dress that has likely scandalized all of the Thraxian guards she's passed by. She fiddles with the red quartz ring on her finger, drifting in the direction of Carita. Her lips quirked up in a broad smile. "My lady." She says, brushing a hand over her own hip, at the aeterna of her summdress. Larissa gets a little wiggle of her fingers.

Nisaa has joined the Central Fountain.

Ariel continues to listen and wait for bids to be made upon one of the smaller items of the auction. When Karadoc bids, she smiles and says "Thank you Lord Karadoc. Will anyone big more than 50 silver for the item or shall Lord Karadoc be the victor for the first item?"

A messenger arrives, delivering a message to Maximilian before departing.

Petal raises her small hand. "I'll bid 100." She says softly.

Driskell claps for Petal who raises the bid. "Exciting." he says before going back serving.

Artorius looks to Karadoc with a light nod "Certainly my friend." he makes no bets for now, simply watching how things play out. He wasn't much of a bidder and such.

Mirari lifts a hand and says, "150."

Carita offers a slight dipped curtsy to acknowledge Mirari's approach, "Mistress Corsetina. Good evening." An obvious moment taken to drink in the fully scandalizing summer dress, "You look amazing. Especially in that color."

Karadoc gave a nod in turn to Max, and seeing a familiar face enter, gave a small nod to Mirari as well. He smirked at something said, and gave a non-commital shrug. He was just about to bid, when Mirari did so, and nodded appreciatively to her.

Ariel nods and says "That is 150 for Miss Mirari Corsetina. Any other bids for this wonderful healing stav made by Miss Valery?"

Nisaa smiles to Larissa and when she speaks of others spending silver for them, she lowers her head slightly, nodding towards the Baron Larissa mentions, but she walks with Malik to sit by the fountain. Verdigris eyes turn towards Ariel and the item up for auction before bouncing around to all those who start to bid.

Petal peeks over to Mirari as she bids and then she studies her dress. "Oh, so lovely." She says getting distracted. She gives her a smile smile that touches her dark eyes.

Ariel says "150 silver for the lovely healing stav by Miss Valery going once."

Justice, an elegant hunting falcon arrives, delivering a message to Maximilian before departing.

Malik laughs a little over to Larissa, a glance given to the Baron she indicates before he simply shrugs his shoulders. "I sold a painting the other day," he says to Nisaa as he sits, flashing her a big smile. "And once I'm done with the one for Prince Aiden's friend, that'll be the third one in under a month." He looks to the auctioneer as bids for the healing salve settle, perhaps in anticipation of what is going to come next.

Diddanwch the Pine Marten arrives, following Asger.

Asger arrives, following Ysbail.

Ariel picks up a small round tin pot filled with a sticky mixture.

Ariel gets a small round tin pot filled with a light green paste from a simple velvet bag.

Ariel drops a small round tin pot filled with a light green paste.

Ariel says "150 silver for the lovely healing stav by Miss Valery going twice. And sold to Miss Mirari Corsetina for 150 silver. Thank you so much Miss Mirari!" She picks up the item and hands it to Sameera before she brings up the next as she says "Our next item is also made my Miss Valery and is treatment for sunburn. Can I hear 50 silver on this item as a starting bid?"

Mirari picks up a small round tin pot filled with a light green paste.

Petal raises her small hand again. "I'll bid 50." She says, lifting her voice to carry.

A messenger arrives, delivering a message to Agnarr before departing.

Karadoc chuckled, "That could come in handy soon. 100 silver!"

Taking a message briefly, Agnarr dismisses the lad and then finds a spot from the back to watch, his hand resting on his coinpurse.

Shadow comes into the auction perhaps a bit late, The man moving along looking the place over hearing at least two familiar voices before he is shifting his gaze to the first of them he had heard. The large man's eyes coming to rest on Ariel as he sticks near the entrance for now.

Mirari drops a small round tin pot filled with a light green paste.

"I am being so proud of you. So happy for all you are accom...puh..." Nisaa closes her eyes, trying to remember the word, but gives up. "Doing so well at! So happy to see your talent appre-she-ated. Appreciated."

Morrighan has joined the Cliffside Gazebo.

Sigurd has joined the Cliffside Gazebo.

"I'll bid 150." Petal says shyly. "I am outside working in my garden a lot."

Ariel says "150 silver for the lovely sunburn cream with Miss Petal having the highest bid! Also please remember we are also accepting resources as payment with each resource equaling 250 silver a piece. Though please bid in silver. Can I hear 200 silver for the sunburn cream?"

Leta arrives at the auction, fingers lightly bouncing her purse as she strolls on through, looking about before settling in to watch. She keeps an eye on the auction, but takes as much time to study the crowd gathered for it, with a pensive frown on her face.

As ever, Olivia is close to the front, and shuffles forward to peer at, and even potentially into (if it's not crowding the auctioneer too much!) the pot, curious of all these remedies produced by other herbalists and apothecaries. She may even sniff.

Ariel says "150 silver for the lovely sunburn cream going once."

Ysbail is late in arriving, but she's dragged Asger along with her, which might excuse the lateness. She flashes a grin towards those she recognizes, waving to Petal and Shadow before tugging Asger along to find a seat!

Sameera continues to keep in her spot, letting Henrik go about collecting payments and bringing people their stuff. Though, those that, come to her to make payments get a stare that, some how allows for lingering talking to her.

Ariel says "150 silver for the lovely sunburn cream going twice and sold to Miss Petal for the price of 150 silver. Please give your silver to Dame Sameera to get your item Miss Petal."

Malik beams a smile at Nisaa before leaning forward a little to squint at the jar of sunburn cream. "I don't be supposing we need much of that," he looks to his own dusky skin and then Nisaa's with a large grin to her. "I wonder what is coming up next."

Petal smiles as she listens the auction. She gets silver from her pouch, handing it over to Sameera. The girl then peeks over to Ysbail and Shadow, having a smile for them as well.

Petal picks up a small round tin pot filled with a light green paste.

Ariel gets a small, cloth pouch, filled with some powder and minced dry herbs from a simple velvet bag.

Ariel drops a small, cloth pouch, filled with some powder and minced dry herbs.

Ariel says "I have another item from Miss Valery, it is tea to help with allergies. I will start the bidding at 50 silver. I am sure this will come in handy to those who suffer from pollen. Who shall bid upon it first?"

Nisaa shakes her head to Malik with another small giggle. The dark curls of her hair all pinned up in some complicated way that merely keeps it somewhat tamed, and shorter. "No, I am thinking our skins are trained for the sunshining down."

1 Saik Guard have been dismissed.

Bodyguard have been dismissed.

A Cat have been dismissed.

Sameera dips her head to Petal as she hands over the coin and over Sameera hands the little pot.

Leta rubs a hand across her nose, not that she's particularly sniffly, then raises a hand towards Ariel with a smile, "I'll bid 50 for that."

Shadow offers a small smile and dip of his head to Ysbail in greeting of the woman before she drags off Asger, His attention quickly shifting to Petal returning that smile to the seamstress before he begins to work his way over to her. His gaze lifting back to Ariel hearing the new option going up. The bid from Leta has the man glancing her way.

Nisaa leans a bit closer to Malik and whispers, "what are, all-ur-geeze?" She is careful to pronounce the word as close to the way Ariel did as she can.

Ariel says "Wonderful! I have 50 silver for the tea from Dame Leta. Can I hear 100 silver for it?"

Ariel gets a champagne silver chain bracelet fastened to a bi-colored sapphire shaped as a rose from a simple velvet bag.

Petal smiles over to Leta as she bids. "Oh, I will bid a 100!." She murmurs. "Mistress Valery really knows her ehrbs." She says with a heavy accent. The girl then smiles as Shadow draws close.

Malik laughs a little along with Nisaa, before he cants his head to the tea that is up for auction. He looks slightly bewildered by it, before shrugging over to Nisaa. "I am supposing it has to do with whatever pull-en is? She said suffering, it must be terrible," and that makes him a little sad. "PErhaps I should be betting. I do not want to be suffering." He raises his hand, "I will be betting 150 silvers."

Ariel says "150 silver for the tea for Master Malik. Can I hear 200 silver?"

Artorius simply smiles, watching the bids begin to keep going.

Asger is dragged alongside Ysbail accompanying the easily excitable young woman, accompanying her as as she sits down with the two sharing whispers as they watch the auction.

Ariel says "150 silver for the tea for Master Malik. Going once!"

Leta flinches ever so slightly at something Ariel says. Her name, possibly. Then watches the rest of the auction with a shrug, fingers toying with her belt as she rocks back and forth at the place she stands at, though she takes a step aside.

Pariah, The StormCrow have been dismissed.

4 Redoubt Buccaneers have been dismissed.

Shadow moves closer until he is settling in beside the northern seamstress, The man glancing from her to Ariel as the new bid is placed for the herbal remedy. "Does wildflower really want?" His brow lifting as he glances to her, The man's words spoken in a similar thick accent as he speaks softly with the woman.

Ariel says "150 silver for the tea for Master Malik. Going twice! And sold to Master Malik for 150 silver. Please give your silver to Dame Sameera so you can get your item."

Carita shifts slightly, crossing her hands over her chest. One hand lifted to idle with the amethyst choker with a thoughtful eye on the next items up for bid. Certainly, the teas and salves are very nice - extremely useful. But, she's very much awaiting the arrival of the higher-priced items. The ones that sparkle and shine. The silk. She exhales a sigh, looking around again.

Maximilian leans oer to murmur something to Carita, his eyes on the next items to come up for bid.

Ariel gets a beaded sunset gown of ombre satin with off-the-shoulder-sleeves from a simple velvet bag.

Petal smiles over to Shadow. "Oh, it is fine, but thank you, Shadow." She murmurs.

Malik picks up a small, cloth pouch, filled with some powder and minced dry herbs.

Ariel drops a beaded sunset gown of ombre satin with off-the-shoulder-sleeves.

"Oh, look. I am winning the bet," Malik says proudly to Nisaa, "Now you will certainly not be suffering from any all-err-gees," he hops to his feet to give his money to Sameera and take his prize, giving the satchel a little sniff as he returns back to his seat. "It is smelling strange," he says to Nisaa, holding it up to her nose so she can sniff too.

Ariel says "Our next item is a lovely silk dress made by Miss Morrighan. I would like to start the bidding at 1000 silver for this lovely sunset ombre dress! Who shall start the bidding?"

"Two thousand and seven-hundred silver..." Carita calls out, immediately.

Asger sighs and raises his hand "Tirty four hundred."

Petal looks over the dress. "Oh, it is so lovely." She murmurs softly.

Sameera lifts her hand to her lips and coughs for some reason. Those paying atttention might notice her eyes almost seem to be laughing.

"Thirty nine hundred," Carita smiles over at Asger.

Malik purses his lips, looking from the dress to Nisaa and then back to the dress again. "I am betting four thousand silver," he announces.

Karadoc raised a brow, "What an oddly specific number...." He chuckled idly, watching the bidding war.

Asger winks to Carita "I'll go with a solid five thousand."

Ysbail leans in to murmur towards Asger while the bidding rises.

Sigurd lingers near to Morrighan, looking pleased as punch as her dress immediately starts getting bids, elbowing her in her side with a grin and something snarky-sounding murmured.

Olivia does perk up at the dress as it goes on sale. While the herbal remedies are all curious to her - they are things she can very likely make herself. But a pretty dress - oh! Nonetheless, even as she steps forward, half opening her mouth to begin to bid, several others do so as well, and she looks around nervously.

Malik looks between the two nobles betting on the dress and shrugs his shoulders. "Five thousand one hundred."

Driskell claps for Malik at the five thousand bid. "Very impressive." he says.

Nisaa eyes Malik with wonder and a smile, sitting quietly beside him.

Ariel says "Highest bid is 5100 silver with Master Malik maintaining the highest bid currently. Did anyone wish to bid higher?"

Shadow glances towards Petal as she says that, "Want Shadow bi.." And then it hits five thousand and he sighs, "Or not.. Maybe find other good gift for." A smile taking shape as he glances back towards teh auction itself.

Asger nods his head and raises his hand "Six thousand."

Maximilian calls out... "This auction is a charity auction, and I would like to take the moment to remind people the charity involved. Coldreach Village is being built, set up and prepared for the retraining of recently freed thralls, that they can intigrate into freedom successfully. A village like this has many needs - and if you have supplies, we would accept <economic resources> at 250 silver per quantity you would wish to bid. Silver is only so useful in the end."

"Five thousand five hundred silver!" Ysbail lifts a hand with a grin.

Petal looks over at his words, giving him a gentle smile. "Thank you for the offer, but its probably too rich a dress for me." She peeks over the dress once again.

Olivia starts to say, "Five thousand and-" and then up it goes again. She looks over, down at her now opened purse, and frets.

Leta takes a few steps forward to get a look at the dress, and once more flicks her fingers across her purse, rocking back and forth between the toe and heel of her boots. A hand comes up, then drops again as the price rises, an easy smile on her face.

Ariel says "I have 6000 silver for the lovely Sunset Ombre dress with Lord Asger as the leading bidder! That is 6000 silver going once!"

Malik looks to Asger and gives his shoulders a shrug. "Six thousand one hundred," he says simply.

Asger tsks and says "Sixty two hundred.

Shadow's head shakes hearing the words from Petal, "Would look great in dress wildflower.. But Shadow not have for how high go now.." The man saying the words softly to the woman before he is looking to Asger as the man seems to be taking the bid.

Ariel says "I have 6200 silver with Duke Asger the lead bidder. Can I hear 6300 silver?"

Olivia draws her breath, and finally makes her attempt, after mustering some courage. "6500." She figures it will keep going up a little. Of course, there is an anxious look Duke-ward. Because you really don't get to outbid Dukes if they don't feel like it!

Petal has another gentle smile for Shadow. "Its okay, Shadow." She then smiles as Olivia upbids the dress.

Ariel says "I have 6500 silver with Lady Olivia the lead bidder. Can I hear 6600 silver?"

Malik laughs a little, leaning to nudge Nisaa. "This is very exciting, no? I wonder who will be winning the bets. I will be betting 6600 silvers!"

Mirari lifts a hand upward, "7000." Her eyes shifting over the satiny piece.

Larissa cheers Mirari with a dimpled grin, clapping enthusiastically at the bid.

Ariel says "I have 7000 silver with Miss Mirari as the lead bidder. Would anyone wish to bid higher?"

Artorius looks to Karadoc "Hmmm I could use it as a gift for someone..." he looks to Karadoc and offers a shrug as if asking nicely.

Ariel says "That is 7000 silver going once!"

Ariel says "That is 7000 silver going twice and won by Miss Mirari Corsetina! Please come and give Dame Sameera your silver and take the lovely gown that you have won!"

Ariel gets a heeled pair of sunset ombre satin slippers with glass accents from a simple velvet bag.

Karadoc chuckled, "Now you think to bid?" He shook his head, "Speak up sooner friend!" He teased the big man next to him.

Driskell claps appreciatively for the winner, Mirari and the price she paid for a beautiful outfit.

Nisaa shakes her head with a joyous laugh, placing her hand on Malik's forearm, dainty fingers curling over it. "Is okay, Mal. I can find pretty dresses another time." She smiles at him and says, "is exciting to try, yes?"

Ariel says "Now for the lovely slippers that Miss Morrighan made to make that lovely dress I would like to start the bidding at 1000 silver. How shall bid upon it first?"

Ariel drops a heeled pair of sunset ombre satin slippers with glass accents.

Olivia is so busy looking over Asger's direction, expecting a bid out of him, that the whole thing perhaps passes her by? She looks back the other way, toward Mirari, when it's all announced, a ltitle surprised. But then she looks back down in her purse and up to the auctioneer - maybe she needs to be thrifty and wait for her moment! At least without any of her siblings here to spoil her.

Petal looks over to the revealed slippers. "Oh, those are so lovely too." She says while sitting next to Shadow.

Ariel picks up a beaded sunset gown of ombre satin with off-the-shoulder-sleeves.

Sigurd calls up in offer toward Nisaa, "Could ask the woman who made the dress to make you a nice dress!" Just a friendly plug for the woman next to him as he nudges Morrighan, apparently quite pleased with the amount raised so far.

Sameera lifts a hand to bid, undoubtedly after a note from Mirari once she hands over the money. Sameera doesn't say anytihng but she lifts her hand up enough to be noticable.

Artorius laughs a little!

There is a light frown when the dress goes to another, but Malik seems to shrug it off after Nisaa places her hand on his forearm. He gives her hand a friendly pat, before looking over to Sigurd as he calls over to Nisaa. There is a curious glance to Morrighan, and he seems to be making a mental note. "Yes, I am supposing that is true," he agrees.

Larissa hears Sigurd and flashes a grin to Nissa with an eager nod "Oh you should!" she whispers "Miss Morrighan is a wonder"

Ariel notices Sameera's hand and says "I have the lovely slippers at 1000 silver with Dame Sameera as the lead bidder and I hear 1100 silver?"

Shadow smiles softly looking to the slippers revealed by Ariel, the man giving a sidelong glance towards Petal. "Am sure would look very good on. Are thinking of bid?" His brow lifting as he looks to the woman before he is shifting his gaze hearing the familiar sound of another's voice.

Morrighan snorts lightly in response to Sigurd's calling out into the crowd, earning the nobleman another good-natured jab into his armored ribs. She makes a bit of an amused face at the man before reclining where she's seated, partaking of her flask of whiskey while giving those who look her way a friendly wiggling of her fingers in greeting.

Some of the discussion over the dressmaker catches Olivia's attention, and she looks over that way, toward Sigurd who brings it up. "Oh, who did make- oh!" Maybe this is a more thrifty option. "It is all very lovely."

Petal peeks over to Shadow. "Oh, I don't know if I could walk in heels Shadow, but they are very very lovely."

Karadoc thought for a moment, before putting his hand up to bid. " 1500 silver."

At the raised voice of the man by the gazebo, Nisaa looks up. "I could, yes. Do you know who is making?" she asks, smiling to Malik with a gentle lean against his arm. Larissa gets her attention then and she asks, "Miss Morrighan?"

Sameera silently lifts her hand once more, "1600." she says.

Ariel says "1600 silver for the slippers with Dame Sameera as the highest bidder! Can I hear 2000?"

Ariel says "1600 silver for the slippers with Dame Sameera as the highest bidder! Going Once!"

Ariel says "1600 silver for the slippers with Dame Sameera as the highest bidder! Going Twice and sold to Dame Sameera! Please put your silver into the charity coinpurse and take your prize!"

Karadoc shook his head a bit and let out a sigh, giving an apologetic look to Mirari.

Ariel gets a bronze ring with a large lavender amethyst from a simple velvet bag.

Petal cheers as Sameera wins the auction.

"I was bidding on Mirari Corsetina's behalf, at her request." Since Mirari briefly got distracted by things unavoidable (AK Mirari had RL)

Pariah, The StormCrow have been dismissed.

4 Redoubt Buccaneers have been dismissed.

As Nisaa questions who Miss Morrighan is, he waves to get the woman's attention, and then points to the red-haired lass next to himself, gesticulating grandly.

Karadoc chuckled, "I was as well, at my own request. Well then, I am glad she will have her matching set."

Ariel drops a bronze ring with a large lavender amethyst.

Ariel nods and says "I am very glad that the those lovely slippers and gorgeous gown will have a home together then. Our next item was donatied my Guildmaster Joscelin and is a lovely bronze ring with a large lavender amethyst. I shall start the bidding at 1000 silver for the item!"

Sameera picks up a heeled pair of sunset ombre satin slippers with glass accents.


**********************************************************************
In the wake of the siege, gatherings have been springing up all over Arx to mourn the lost and celebrate the victory. While some are grand affairs by the noble houses, one gathering in the lowers drew concern. People are saying a street vendor fell under scrutiny of some wary customers who thought he wasn't being completely honest, and by the end of it the merchant was carted off with all of his wares confiscated by the Iron Guard. All on the word of some northerner and a knight of solace. Nobody is quite sure what the charges were.

Whether it was justice or robbery seems to depend on where you live. Some of the other street vendors trying to celebrate the victory in the lowers have since closed shop of their own accord, amidst muttering of distrust and concern for their own safety.
**********************************************************************


Karadoc put his hand up immediately, " 1000 silver."

Shadow's eyes look towards the ring and after a moment the man's hand lifts, "Shadow bid 1000."

Shadow coughs, "1500."

A messenger arrives, delivering a message to Morrighan before departing.

Karadoc raised a brow, and lifted his again, "2000 silver."

Sigurd raises his hand. "Three thousand."

Petal looks over to the ring and smiles once again. Her cheeks are pink. "Oh, wow." She says in her heavy accent.

Ariel nods and says "I have 3000 silver for the lovely ring with Lord Sigurd as the highest bidder!"

Karadoc raised a brow, and lifted his again, "3500 silver."

"Three thousand five hundred and ten," Agnarr calls.

The man's grand gestures catch Nisaa's eye and the exotic looking woman looks to the red head he motions to. "Is Morrighan? Hello! Perhaps I can be talking with about clothing sometime soon?" she asks in her rather thick, very foreign sounding accent.

Sigurd shrugs, then calls out, "Four thousand."

Ariel nods and says "I have 4000 silver for the lovely ring with Lord Sigurd as the highest bidder!"

"Forty-one hundred," Agnarr elects after a pause.

Shadow hears the words from Petal and fidgets as he glances into his pouch as the bids continue to rise, "Four Thousand two hundred.."

Karadoc shook his head, dropping out of the bid.

Asger says in Northlands shav, "The wares are really quite pretty, have you seen anything else to catch your attention yet, Ys?"

Pariah, The StormCrow have been dismissed.

4 Redoubt Buccaneers have been dismissed.

Malik sits this one out, though he does give the ring a curious look. "The Guildmaster is making very pretty jewels," he comments to Nisaa and grins a little, although his attention turns to Morrighan as Nisaa addresses the redhead.

Sigurd grins, then calls out, "Forty-five hundred!"

Leta says something to Agnarr, not far from her, then looks back to the auction, rising on her toes for a better look at the ring. She then turns, looking over at Agnarr with a broad grin, eyebrows arched, and generally looking amused.

Petal's cheeks are pink as she looks over to Shadow at the bid.

Ariel nods and says "I have 4500 silver for the lovely ring with Lord Sigurd as the highest bidder!"

Irritated, Agnarr exhales, but doesn't fold yet. "Forty-seven hundred."

Sigurd shrugs aside to Agnarr. "No hard feelings. Charity, right? Five thousand!"

When Nisaa directs her attention over towards the gazebo, gesturing towards the redhead, Morrighan gives a wry smile, lifting a hand to place two fingers near the edge of her brow in a small salute. "Aye, tha's me," she says. "I'd be more than happy tae discuss potential business with you. Jus' send me a missive whenever you'd like an' we can arrange a meetin' tae talk."

And then the bids are off and beyond his reach, Shadow glances towards Petal and offers the seamstress a few soft spoken words in their native tongue.

Ariel nods and says "I have 5000 silver for the lovely ring with Lord Sigurd as the highest bidder! Do I hear 5100 silver?"

Nisaa nods to Malik and says, "it is very pretty. The stone is a lovely shade of purple. Did I meet her?" A dip of her head to Morrighan then. "I would like that. Thank you. I shall do so soon."

"Let him have it," Agnarr decides with a look over at Sigurd.

Carita laughs, mellifluously, at the bidding war. She shushes, promptly, with pale fingers pressed against her mouth to hide the smirk.

Ariel nods and says "5000 silver for the gorgeous ring going once!"

Ariel nods and says "5000 silver for the gorgeous ring going twice! And won my Lord Sigurd. Please give Dame Sameera your silver or economic resource for you bid and receive you lovely ring!"

Malik gives his head a shake to Nisaa. "No you have not been meeting her yet, but I have been telling her all about you," he replies. "I will be inviting her to the Muse soon, and you can be knowing her well. Or, oh, I could be taking you to /her/ shop, yes." He taps his lips with his fingers in thought, before he moves to squeeze Nisaa's hand a little.

Ariel gets a five-petal rose bronze haircomb with a lavender amethyst from a simple velvet bag.

Sigurd fires off a little faux-salute to Ariel, rising from his spot next to Morrighan and passing along a good quantity of silver to Sameera to palm the ring, looking quite pleased with himself as he moves back to his spot.

Sigurd picks up a bronze ring with a large lavender amethyst.

Ariel drops a five-petal rose bronze haircomb with a lavender amethyst.

Ariel happily says "Our next item is another from Guildmaster Joscelin and is a lovely haircomb to match that gorgeous ring. I shall start the bidding at 1000 silver!"

Larissa raises her hand

Ysbail says in Northlands shav, "Nothing quite yet. The amethysts are gorgeous but the price is far too high..."

"Eleven hundred," Agnarr states.

Karadoc put his hand up immediately, " 1500 silver."

Malik chimes in, "I will be betting two thousand silvers."

"Two thousand and fifty," AGnarr calls next, touching his beard.

Sigurd calls out, "I have to, I suppose. Three thousand!"

Shadow's head dips and raises hearing the words from the woman beside him as he looks to the newest item to bid before watching the new bidding war begin.

Malik raises his hand again, "Five thousand silvers."

Karadoc shook his head, dropping out of the bid.

"Nope," Agnarr grouses at Malik's bid.

Sigurd considers for a moment. "Fifty-one hundred!"

Petal smooths out the fabric of her pale blue linen dress as she continues to sit close to Shadow. She looks over the hair comb, smiling once again. The girl peeks to Ysbail as she speaks, nodding in response to her foreign words.

"Fifty-five hundred silvers," Malik announces happily, seemingly excited by the 'bets'.

Ariel happily says "That is 5100 silver for the lovely haircomb with Lord Sigurd as the highest bidder. Can I hear 5200?"

Larissa looks over at Karadoc and grins "That's alright. I'll try not to be toooo dissapointed." she promises, clapping as the bidding keeps going up and up.

Nisaa leans in to whisper to Malik, her hand still on his forearm as her copper patina eyes glance towards the haircomb.

Ariel happily says "That is 5500 silver for the lovely haircomb with Master Malik as the highest bidder."

Sigurd peers at Morrighan after she murmurs something to him. Sighs. "Six thousand!"

Malik looks over his shoulder to Sigurd, shrugs his shoulders, and raises his hand again, "Six thousand and five hundred silvers."

Larissa laughs at the bidding war and claps, cheering for Malik! Whisper Unite!

Ariel happily says "That is 6500 silver for the lovely haircomb with Master Malik as the highest bidder."

Sigurd holds his hands up, dropping out of the bidding with a gracious bow to Malik.

Ariel happily says "6500 silver going once!"

Malik turns when he hears Larissa cheering, beaming a happy smile over to her. "Is this not so very exciting? It is reminding me of the bazaar in Petrioch," he says cheerfully, looking up as Sigurd claims defeat. It puts him on the edge of his seat, will he win?!

Arik enters into the room, looking at the grouping of people. The warrior will approach where the auction is already in full effect. The young man considers looking to the items on the docket to sell, though it seems he's showing up at the end of one item.

Ariel happily says "6500 silver going twice and sold! Master Malik please come and pay Dame Sameera for the lovely haircomb!"

Ariel gets a fine gold serpent pendant with jade stones from a simple velvet bag.

Malik picks up a five-petal rose bronze haircomb with a lavender amethyst.

Nisaa claps her hands together excitedly, beaming a smile to Malik. "You are winned! Winning. Won! You won!" Oh, I miss the bazaar. Was all so exciting."

Ariel happily says "Our next item is another of Guildmaster Joscelin's and it a very lovely pendant with jade stones! I shall start the bidding at 1000 silver!"

Petal cheers for Mailk as he wins the auction.

Ariel drops a fine gold serpent pendant with jade stones.

Asger raise his hand and calls out "Six thousand."

Ariel puts a champagne silver chain bracelet fastened to a color changing sapphire shaped as a rose in a simple velvet bag.

Sigurd does cheer for Malik at his victory, quite pleased that the person enjoys it so. He doesn't bid on the pendant though, letting Asger take this one away.

Malik laughs a little as his name is called, and he flashes a wide grin to Nisaa. Already on the edge of his seat, it takes little effort to spring up, though he does flourish a bow to Sigurd. "It was being a difficult battle. You are an excellent fighter," he says to the man, before presenting Sameera with a pouch full of silver. With his prize obtained, he takes the haircombs straight to Nisaa, extending them out to her. "Beautiful dancers are deserving of beautiful things," he says simply.

Diddanwch the Pine Marten have been dismissed.

Maximilian murmurs to Ariel... "I have an item I forgot to give yuo. I shall be right back."

Pariah, The StormCrow, 4 Redoubt Buccaneers leave, following Maximilian.

Pariah, The StormCrow, 4 Redoubt Buccaneers arrive, following Maximilian.

Karadoc shook his head at the instant huge bid. "No fun in that." He settle back, watching the others as he made himself comfortable.

Leta leans forward to study the pendant, and begins raising her hand when Asger calls out six thousand, which gives her pause. She draws a breath, toys with her earring, taps her boot against the ground below, then lifts her hand and waves her fingers, "Six and five hundred, then."

Olivia is of course watching all the jewelry as it goes up on auction too, though so far her interest does not seem quite as captured as it was with the dress. She even scrunches her nose at the serpent pendant. Probably not the jeweler's fault.

Ariel happily says "Wow already at 6500 with Miss Leta with the winning bid! Did anyone wish to bid higher?"

Asger bumps his shoulder lightly to Ysbail's as he calls out, "Sixty six hundred and twelve.

Artorius shrugs as he lifts a hand "Seven thousand."

Ariel happily says "Wow already at 6612 with Duke Asger with the winning bid! Did anyone wish to bid higher?"

Larissa melts a little at Malik and Nisaa both, still cheering him as the bidding begins on the pendant - brows lifting high above her head as she leans in and whispers something to Karadoc.

Ariel happily says "7000 silver with Lord Artorius with the highest bid!"

Asger things for several long moments before calling out "Seven thousand one hundred and forty two."

Asger also thinks

Ysbail laughs softly and shakes her head at Asger, "Now you're just being silly!"

Nisaa blushes as Malik hands the haircomb to her. She immediately reaches up to tuck the bright rose into her dark hair, which only makes the colors of the jewelry piece stand out brighter. "You are making me speechless. Thank you, Mal."

Ariel happily says "7142 silver with Duke Asger with the highest bid!"

"And twelve?" Leta repeats with a glance in Asger's direction, and a widening smile, and she lifts a hand, but hesitates again at Artorius's new bid. And Asger's. And she drops her hand, back to her waist with a shake of her head.

Artorius lifts a hand again "seven thousand, two hundred." he shrugs, having fun now.

Karadoc chuckled idly at the odd numbers.

Asger taps his foot lightly, as he ponders this new bid, "Seven thousand two hundred and three.

Ariel happily says "7203 silver with Duke Asger with the highest bid!" A soft giggle escaping her lips at the odd numbers

Ariel happily says "7203 silver Going Once!"

Artorius finally just shrugs in a why not kind of way. Could give it to his kid when she grows. "eight thousand." he sits back, crossing his arms just to see who would take it, and how much he himself would pay with a light smile. He was smiling, he thought this was fun.

Ariel happily says "8000 now with Lord Artorius as the highest bidder!"

Karadoc raised a brow, "Now you are getting into it." He chuckled at the big man.

Artorius looked to Karadoc "I can't help it. Now I know why people have fun at these things." he chuckled.

Karadoc grinned, "Much better than beating down that poor practice dummy again, yes?"

Artorius laughs "Sure."

The tall young warrior arches a brow at the odd numbers, but Arik is at least glad that the auction is seeing the interest it needs. He will stop when he's among the bidding crowed though still looking to the list of items.

Asger lets out a low rumble of mirthful laughter after Ysbail whispers to him, "It looks like you have won this time, my friend."

Ariel happily says "I have 8000 silver going once!"

Malik's expression softens as Nisaa puts the haircomb in her hair, and he stares for a lingering moment before laughing a little. "It looks very pretty in your hair, Nisaa," he says simply, reaching to take her hand again and squeeze it.

Ariel happily says "I have 8000 silver going twice! And sold to Lord Artorius! Please come pay Sameera your silver or your resources and collect your prize!"

Artorius smiles to Ariel, giving her a light bow. "Pleasure." he walks over to Sameera to gain his new possession.

Sameera assures the item is given to Artorius by Henrik and accepts the money with a dip of her head.

Larissa was totally making heart shaped eyes at Nisaa and Malik. Auction? What auction?

Artorius picks up a fine gold serpent pendant with jade stones.

Ariel drops wickedly sharp hairpins topped with black pearl and a flashing diamond.

Ariel happily says "Our next time is very special! It is a gorgeous diamondplate set of hairpins! They are fantastic for stabbing demons, bringers, or whatever else may try to cause terror for those who are skilled with small weapons. I am starting the bidding at 60000 silver for this item!"

A messenger arrives, delivering a message to Artorius before departing.

"From the Darkwater personal collecton." Says Maximilian. "For the lady on the go - or a lady going to stab someone."

Petal looks over the diamond plate hair pins and her brown eyes widen. "Oh, wow." She murmurs softly.

Mirari checked willpower at difficulty 15, rolling 0 higher.

When the hair pins are produced and revealed Shadow just gulps and he sighs, "Maybe one day will be able afford." A small smile curling his lips.

Ariel happily says "My apologies! These are rubicund! Not Diamondplate. I would like to start the bidding at 10000. Again my apologies for using the wrong material in the description!"

Carita perks, slightly, with interest. Crystalline blue eyes look over at the hairpins, pausing, until she allows the price to sink in. There's a brief, frosty expression of displeasure that appears and vanishes across her features. She composes herself, shrugs a shoulder, and languidly resumes her people-watching.

Olivia does look suitably impressed by the pins, but no, her mouth does not come close to attempting to form a bid. She shouldn't be anywhere near anything that should need stabbing, really!

Sigurd slowly slides the ring onto Morrighan's finger with a grin and a murmured comment to her before he turns his attention back to the bidding, not even thinking of bidding on such a rare item, really. He shakes his head, not even hugely tempted as he tossles Morrighan's hair.

Karadoc considered it a moment. "Hm..." His eyes narrowed, looking over them. " 10,000 silver."

Ariel happily says "I have 10000 silver with Lord Karadoc as the highest bidder. Can I hear 11000?"

Mirari's fingers twitch a moment and she resists the urge to immediately put her hand. Her own mirrored hairpins glinting on the light. A glance is given toward Karadoc, and then she briefly peers at Carita. Her hands twitch upward.

Arik eyes the item a moment considering. The starting bid called out and he'll sideways glance to the others and nods as the first bid is thrown out. It's still an uncertin look from the warrior.

Artorius smiles a little at Karadoc, and shakes his head lightly. staying out of this one.

Ariel looks about as she asks "Miss Mirari, were you wishing to bid 11000?" She did notice the hand after all.

The tall warrior seems to come to a conclusion though, Arik will change his mind. "Eleven Thousand."

Pariah, The StormCrow have been dismissed.

4 Redoubt Buccaneers have been dismissed.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 11000 as the highest bid from Lord Arik. Can I hear 12000?"

Karadoc raised a brow at the big guy. "Doesn't seem a weapon fit for a guy your size." He chuckled, and raised a hand, " 12,000 silver." He let out a slow breath at that.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 11000 going once!"

Morrighan flashes Sigurd a thankful smile when gifted the amethyst ring, her gaze quickly studying it in all angles of the light. Her expression turns pensive, free hand lifting to idly swat at the nobleman's hands while they try to ruffle her already riotous mop of curls. "I'm goin' tae have tae make a couple new outfits jus' so I can wear this with somethin'. S'pose I'll get on tha' once things are finished here..an' I'll need tae acquire a few pieces from Jos."

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 12000 going once with Lord Karadoc with the highest bid!"

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 12000 going once!"

The sword of whitehold turns to glance as the bid goes up. Arik seems to consider more before he'll add. "Thirteen Thousand."

Agnarr, after a beat, hauls himself out of the auction.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 13000 silver with Lord Arik as the highest bidder!"

Malik moves his arm to drape it around the back of Nisaa's chair as the bids continue over the hairpins, and he murmurs something to his companion with a chuckle.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 13000 going once!"

Karadoc closed his eyes a moment, fingers tapping quickly as he considers the price. His head bounced idly a moment as he thought. " 13,500 silver. My last offer."

Nisaa sticks her tongue out of the side of her mouth as her head tilts a little and she contemplates what Malik says before whispering in his ear.

Arik glances over and nods to the other bidding though the last offer mention turns his attention forward once more. "Fourteen."

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 14000 to Lord Arik as the highest bidder!"

Shadow watches the bids fly high around him, The man glancing from one bidder to another as he murmurs to the seamstress he sits beside.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 14000 silver going once!"

Maximilian drums his fingers on the stone.... "With Rubicund metal and diamonds set in... the value of the materials alone are 10,000 silver... everything after that is the beauty of the worksmanship. These were once owned by Countessa Nekarris Darkwater, a Martyr to the tiend. Do pay honor."

Karadoc had just been about to wave off his bid, before giving a sigh, " 14,500 silver." He huffed, "Final final offer."

Maximilian tips his head to Karadoc - a thanks given there.

The warrior chuckles nodding to Karadoc "A fine game yes?" Arik though seems intent on this item. He will raise a hand quick "Fourteen-seven."

Larissa frowns at Arik and totally pokes her tongue out at him.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 14700 silver with Lord Arik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 15000?"

Carita sighs, loudly, while murmuring with a measured amount of melodrama. Hand against her cheek as she pouts, "Honestly. Once I get higher standing in the trading house I will fully intend on having a set of rubicund hairpins to stab uncooperative folks at the negotiation table with."

Karadoc let out a breath and chuckled, "Well played. Enjoy." He gave a nod to Arik, waving off any further bid himself.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 14700 silver going once!"

Maximilian glances sidelong at Carita.. "People get so angry when I stab people during negotiations. Then they call me a pirate... it's so awkward."

Karadoc smirked, "Oddly... Most have seemed to enjoy it when I have... Hmm...."

"If they are still speaking after you have been stabbing, I am thinking you did not do the job correctly," Malik offers up with a deep laugh.

Ariel looks about as she says "I have 14700 silver going twice! And sold to Lord Arik. Please come pay Sameera the silver or resources and collect the lovely hairpins! I would like to pause before the next piece to thank everyone for coming and to request that if you all be kind and support me in this task for rising the funds for the Coldreach Village! The next item for bid is "Another piece of Guildmaster's Joscelin. A gorgeous pendant with a large and stunning emerald!"

Karadoc laughed, "I've had no complaints before."

"Which -" Carita adds, with a delightfully haughty gleam in her sea-blue eyes that matches her grin. "- if anyone would like to see a Thraxian Lady set into an administrative position, please, lend me your ears - your shoulders - and you deep understanding and appreciation for my cause. I intend to show my liege that I am *useful*."

Ariel gets a praseodymium pendant set with a large stunning emerald from a simple velvet bag.

Mirari slips out at some point. Away she goes!

Opia, a fat unblinking cat leaves, following Mirari.

Ariel drops a praseodymium pendant set with a large stunning emerald.

Ariel looks about as she says "Can I hear 1000 silver as the starting bid for this lovely pendant?"

Carita glances over at Karadoc, "No complaints when you do the stabbing, my lord? What are you stabbing them with?"

Arik picks up wickedly sharp hairpins topped with black pearl and a flashing diamond.

Shadow's hand lifts, "One thousand."

Maximilian is overheard praising Arik for: A Fine purchase.

Petal smiles gently as the pendant is revealed. She continues to sit with her slender legs folded to one side. Soft chestnut locks are loose about her slender shoulders.

Karadoc considered it a moment. "Hm..." His eyes narrowed, looking over them. " 2,000 silver."

Ariel looks about as she says "2000 silver for the pendant with Lord Karadoc as the highest bidder!"

Arik will move to pay the silver and accept the item he'd purchased, though he'll wrap it in a bit of cloth he'd brought with him. "Thank you. A fine duel of wits to all." He comments looking back to Ariel and nodding to her request for support.

Asger leans over to whisper something to Ysbail, keeping his eyes on the prize

Shadow's brow furrows slightly as he is outbid, "2,500"

Artorius would shrug a little "three thousand."

Asger raises his hand and distractedly bids "Thirty two thirty two."

Leta's been minding her own business, but she arches an eyebrow at this new item, and takes a lazy stroll nearer before raising a hand with a bright smile, pointing at the pendant, "Four thousand."

Artorius shrugs "four thousand, six hundred."

Olivia slips out at some point!

Ariel looks about as she says "4600 silver for the pendant with Lord Artorius as the highest bidder!"

Leta wrinkles her nose, cocks her head, gives it a moment's thought, then holds up her hand once more and tosses out a jovial, "Five, then!"

Ariel looks about as she says "5000 silver for the pendant with Miss Leta as the highest bidder!"

Artorius laughs "Five thousand, two hundred." the fun returns!

Ariel looks about as she says "5200 silver for the pendant with Lord Artorius as the highest bidder!"

Leta twirls a length of purple satin that dangles from her oversized chaperon, glances at Artorius, grins, then shrugs and calls out, "Five and five then!"

Ariel looks about as she says "5500 silver for the pendant with Miss Leta as the highest bidder!"

Artorius smiles to Leta, giving her a light wave and withdraws from the bidding. "There you have it then!" he nods with a smile.

Arik shifts his footing though he seems to be quiet on this one so far, though still he's interested still all the same to see who all will when the bidding battles on each of the items.

Ariel laughs softly as Artorius forfeits the bidding further and says "5500 silver going once!"

Ariel says "5500 silver going twice! And sold to Miss Leta! Please come and pay Dame Sameera and claim your lovely pendant!"

Ariel gets a clay jug of Shav wild honey rose petal mead from a simple velvet bag.

Malik has been excitedly watching the auction, volleying his glance between the bidders while talking quietly with Nisaa. After a time, he relaxes in his chair and drapes his arm over the back of Nisaa's chair. "I am thinking Sameera's village will get built very quickly after this is done," he says to her.

Artorius was really just having a blast of fun.

Ariel gets a champagne silver chain bracelet fastened to a color changing sapphire shaped as a rose from a simple velvet bag.

Ariel drops a champagne silver chain bracelet fastened to a color changing sapphire shaped as a rose.

Ariel says "This next item was brewed by Dame Sameera herself. It is a lovely champagne silver chain bracelet fastened to a color changing sapphire shaped as a rose. I shall start the bidding at 5000 for this luxury jewelry item!"

Artorius whistles. "5,000."

Malik looks from his whispered conversation with Nisaa to the bracelet that is being offered, and his eyes grow slightly wide. "I will be betting six thousand silvers."

Nisaa nods to Malik and says, "yes, very much so." But then the new item is shown and her eyes go wide. Looking aside to Malik as he seems to nearly mirror her expression. She giggles and nudges his shoulder with her head a little.

"Oh, that is very lovely." Petal murmurs softly.

Ariel says "I have 6000 silver for this lovely item with Master Malik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 7000?"

Carita looks over, again, with her head tilted into her palm. "That's ... pretty."

Shadow's head nods as he hears the starting bid and those first few made. His eyes drifting from one bidder to the next. "Is very much so.."

Arik looks to the item a moment "That is very nice.. hm." He shifts once more to his other foot and will raise a hand "Eight."

Ariel says "I have 8000 silver for this lovely item with Lord Arik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 9000?"

"Nine thousand silvers," says Malik.

Ariel says "I have 9000 silver for this lovely item with Master Malik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 10000?"

Karadoc chuckled at the racing bids.

It seems that there will be another bid battle going on, though the warrior seems to be ready to play. Arik will raise his hand once more. "Ten."

"Ten thousand five hundred silvers," Malik shoots back.

Artorius smiles as the bids rise. "Oh dear. do one of these two havea girlfriend?" he laughs.

Ariel says "I have 10500 silver for this lovely item with Master Malik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 11000?"

Pariah, The StormCrow have been dismissed.

4 Redoubt Buccaneers have been dismissed.

Karadoc chuckled, "The one seems to be with the dancer. But as for Lord Arik, I've never met."

Arik looks over to the other bidding tipping his head in ackknowledgement. "Eleven-Seven."

Ariel says "I have 11700 silver for this lovely item with Lord Arik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 12000?"

Artorius nods for a moment "Noted."

Charlemagne the Unicorn have been dismissed.

Malik squints over to Arik, before looking back to Ariel, "Twelve thousand five hundred silvers." If he hears the other conversations, he's clearly ignoring them.

Ariel says "I have 12500 silver for this lovely item with Master Malik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 13000?"

Arik glances back if he perhaps overhears his name, though he turns back quickly at the shout of another bid. The young man looks determined though he thinks a moment. He seems to want this item. "Twenty."

Ariel says "I have 20000 silver for this lovely item with Lord Arik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 21000?"

Malik just stares at Arik for a moment, before he shifts in his seat. There is a furrow to his brow, before he lifts his hand again. "Twenty one thousand silvers."

Leta touches the brim of her hat and inclines her head respectfully in Artorius's direction, then nods with a smile to Ariel, before finally strolling over towards Sameera with a nod. She reaches into a pouch at her side, and draws some papers from it, which she flips through, before handing them over with a smile.

Leta picks up a praseodymium pendant set with a large stunning emerald.

Nisaa turns to look at the warrior, eyes wide and mouth agape before she manages to close her lips. She bites the lower one, turning back around, trying to hide her pout, lifting a dainty hand to cover her mouth. She then turns and stares at Malik as he raises his hand.

Ariel says "I have 21000 silver for this lovely item with Master Malik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 22000?"

Driskell offers one particular observer a convenient handkerchief as they spill their wine at the amount offered. "It's better when drank, I assure you." he says, but offers a clap at the large sum called out.

Arik looks to the other who is bidding, as he jumpped up the price. Though the young man still seems to be in the game a hand raised "Twenty-five."

Ariel says "I have 25000 silver for this lovely item with Lord Arik as the highest bidder! Can I hear 26000?"

Ariel says "I have 25000 silver going once!"

Malik appears to be defeated, and he slouches back down with a frown. "I am not bidding again, Lady Ariel," he says finally, before leaning over to murmur something to Nisaa.

Ariel says "I have 25000 silver going twice! And sold to Lord Arik. Please come and pay Dame Sameera and collect your lovely bracelet!"

Sigurd begins to slip off, pecking Morrighan atop the head and murmuring something to her before he makes off into the streets, humming to himself.

Sigurd has left the Cliffside Gazebo.

Carita sighs, shifting to her feet as she brushes down her skirts, watching with keen eyes as the price for the champagne silver bracelet keeps going higher, higher. She grins, applauding lightly to Arik as he wins that bid. Following that, it's time that she slipped off.

Arik picks up a champagne silver chain bracelet fastened to a color changing sapphire shaped as a rose.

Ariel gets a rose gold anklet adorned with a diamond butterfly that is trying to escape the chain from a simple velvet bag.

Artorius smiles softly "What little bid war that was. Thought it would never end." he laughs.

Nisaa smiles at Malik as he slouches down. She wraps her arms around one of his, pulling him close and offering his cheek a small little peck of her lips.

Karadoc gave a nod, "Quite a chunk of change."

Ariel drops a rose gold anklet adorned with a diamond butterfly that is trying to escape the chain.

Ariel says "I have another item from Dame Sameera! a rose gold anklet adorned with a diamond butterfly that is trying to escape the chain and very lovely. I shall start the bidding at 5000 silver!"

Artorius gives a light sigh "No kidding."

Artorius shrugs, deciding to start it off again. He raises his hand. "5 grand."

Malik perks up a little from the kiss to his cheek. And then there was the anklet. Again, his hand shoots up into the air. "Six thousand silvers."

Arik is definately going to leave with lighter pockets, and extra shinies. He looks as the bid ends moving to offer the silver and accept the item and wraps it in a seporate piece of cloth. "Thank you." He comments to them before stepping back into line.

Larissa takes a moment to quietly study the Lord Arik - a lone brow slowly raising up her face. It was never ones wisest move to pass about large amounts of money in front of a Courtesan. It was rather like showing your hand at poker, and that it was a full flush. She couldn't recall having met him but by the way she watches him with a new and rapt interest he might be safe to assume that she would be eager to rectify the social slight.

Ariel says "I have 6000 silver for this lovely anklet for Master Malik being the highest bidder! Can I hear 7000?"

Leta picks up her pretty green jewel, twirls it over, then puts it away with a bright smile, and there's a little added bounce to her step ass she returns to her seat to watch the rest of the auction, wide eyed at the prices. And yet she's still studying the various jewels brought out on offer.

Ariel says "I have 6000 silver going once!"

Ariel says "I have 6000 silver going twice! And sold to Master Malik. Please come and pay Dame Sameera the silver or resources and collect the lovely anklet."

Ariel says "Our next item was brewed by Miss Petal and this jug of mead is special. It is the very first she has made and it is not available in her shop yet. I shall start the bidding at 500 silver!"

Ariel drops a clay jug of Shav wild honey rose petal mead.

Malik looks around as no one fights him for the bid, brows raising. "Really? That was easy," he comments, but grins all the same, hopping to his feet to deposit another bag of silver in front of Sameera and taking his anklet. It is slipped into his pocket as he returns to his seat and puts his arm right back around Nisaa to give her a hug.

Malik picks up a rose gold anklet adorned with a diamond butterfly that is trying to escape the chain.

Shadow's hand lifts quickly, "Six Hundred."

Ariel says "600 silver for the delicious honey rose mead. Can I hear 700?"

Petal smiles over to Shadow when he bids on her mead. Her cheeks are pink. She is still sitting on the grass with her slender legs folded to one side.

Arik claps politely as another item goes off the auction, the beneficiary to this is doing quite well it seems. The warrior looks through the crowd perhaps trying to note if another is here though not spotting them. He may catch a glance his way but looks forward once more.

Ariel says "600 silver going once!"

Larissa whispers something to Karadoc and stands, making sure to give Malik and Nisaa a little wave while lifting her hand and giving the Arx equivalent of a 'call me' sign. Which I imagine was writing out a long message and then flagging down a messenger and sending him off.

Shadow leans down as he spots Petal glancing at him and the woman blushing, "Will have to help Shadow drink though." A chuckle leaving him as he hears the begining count.

Asger raises his hand and calls out "One thousand."

Ariel says "1100 silver going once!"

Ariel gets a clay jug of Shav wild honey raspberry mead from a simple velvet bag.

The young warrior looks at a few more items go on the block though it seems that he'll not be bidding on those. Arik spots the woman as she passes by him sideways glancing though the wink brings his eyes forward and though none are likely to see it. He'll roll his eyes shaking his head once, before focusing again.

Shadow's eyes drift over the room and those remain before he is looking to Asger offering a smile. "Ah much thanks, Shadow always want have first taste of new drink."

Karadoc scratched at his chin, considering, "2,500 silver."

Driskell claps appreciatively for the noble who outbids him. He's out!

Shadow leans in to murmur softly to Petal as he sees the new item going up for Auction, A glance given to the woman and a warm smile given before he is looking ahead watching as things are bid up.

Ariel says "2500 silver for the voucher of the amazing Malik with Lord Karadoc as the highest bidder. Can I hear 3000 silver?"

Ariel says "2500 silver going once!"

"You can be contacting me when you wish, Master Driskell," he says in his richly exotic voice, before rising to his feet and offering his hand out to Nisaa. It looks as though he is preparing to slip out.

Nisaa rises up, taking Malik's hand. She dips her head politely to everyone and says, "Thank you to all the people for being so much entertaining. I hope you all continue to enjoy the night, and each silver goes to such good cause!"

Driskell bows towards the noble who seems to have allowed the steward to purchase the painting and up he goes to pay for the item won, transferring over economic writs to Sameera.

Mira rushes into the Auction area, panting and tilting forward a bit. She's wearing a black and red dress with a low neckline and layered skirting, and her hair is all wild curls and waves. "Did...did I miss..puff. The painting voucher?!"

Ariel says "Our next item is a lovely gown maybe by Miss Lyiana. I will start the bidding of this dress at 1000 silver!"

Ariel drops a luxurious lavender silk gown with lace detailing.

Arik eyes the items coming and going, though careful consideration is given to each item, he doesnt seem to be bidding for the moment at least, though he's not out of the contest just perhaps waiting for something that catches his eyes. "Such wonderful items."

Malik flashes a warm grin to Ariel and Sameera, dipping his head to them both. "This was much fun," he says to them, before leading Nisaa towards the exit. Of course, they pass along Mira as she comes rushing in about the painting voucher, and he says to her, "It was being sold.

"Or not." Leta adds, and drops her hand as she glances in Artorius's direction with a shake of her head and a broad smile, crossing her legs ahead of herself.

Artorius smiles at Leta with a soft wink.

Sameera lifts her hand, after peering at a note on her paper, "6000 silver." she says. Undoubtedly Sameera is bidding for someone because she shows no interest in actually looking at the dress.

Ariel says "I have 6000 silver for Dame Sameera. Can I hear 28 economic writs or 7000 silver?"

Mira huffs and puffs, not the most athletic of people, making her way wearily toward a seat. "Goodness..." Taking a deep, steadying breath, the fox-haired lawyer from Merchant Road whips out a fan, snaps it open, and fans her neckline, eyebrows high from the exertion of getting here in a hurry.

Driskell goes back to serving the guests here their drinks and interesting items of food after he dealt with the payment of the interesting painting voucher.

Mira ohs, eyebrows rising over her spectacles. "A Spa Day? Like with massages and pedicure and everything?" Lowering her fan a bit, the lawyer tilts her head, fluffyed red bangs drifting above her glasses. "Hmmm..."

Ariel says "1000 silver going once!"
