Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Rystil Arden]

"You wouldn't be there for the price bidding, but we could just consider your deposit to be your maximum bid. Of course, if your opponent knows your maximum bid because it is both set and the same as the last small flat, that can significantly lower your chances of a good deal."

"Okay . . . good to know," Zykovian replied with a sigh. "Thank you for your time, I'll be back in an hour or so."

*Zykovian left thinking through the people he knew that might be interested in sharing his flat. He considered even talking with Eloquence . . . whom he wanted to update about the missing bounty as well.*

*Most of Zyk's acquaintances are fairly content with their current housing arrangements, which are either cheap enough that they prefer them or are sometimes actually quite nice. Zyk has no idea where Eloquence lives, but Amity, for instance, is known to actually own the deed for the Laughing Sail, not just lease.*

'Well, Amity wasn't that far away and he wasn't due at the sail just yet,' Zykovian thought, 'Perhaps she would know of someone that would be interested in sharing a flat.' Zykovian made his way to the Sail to ask that very question.

*Zykovian heads over to the Laughing Sail to see Amity, who resembles a beautiful Sidhe for the moment as she chats at the bar with her customers. Eventually, she waves over Zykovian with a smile.*

"Zykovian, how are you doing, my friend? Can I get you a drink or something to eat?"

 

[Keia]

Zykovian entered the Laughing Sail and scanned through the crowd of the day. "Good day to you, Amity," Zykovian replied with a smile. He waited a few moments until the prying ears were out of the way before continuing, "Nothing at the moment, just looking for Eloquence . . . and/or someone to share my flat. Rent for the year is due and I'm sort of up in the air on what I'll be doing."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Ah, your flat. Yes, real estate is expensive here in Eldiz...I don't know, but I hear there are usually people waiting on each home whose lease doesn't look like it'll be renewed. I wouldn't be surprised if it was purchased first thing tomorrow--all depends on if anyone can even afford it."

 

[Keia]

"And only part of the reason I love you Inn so much, Amity," Zykovian replied to the comment on real estate prices. "By the way, how much would it be to store my belongings here in a room for a time? I doubt I can afford my flat without sharing it or coming into large sums of money."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I wouldn't be able to hold a whole room for you long-term, necessarily, but I can put it in storage. It will be safe there. What would you think is fair for that? One credit a day or something?"

 

[Keia]

Zykovian was surprised at the cost Amity offered. He didn't want to impinge on the friendship they had, so he shook his head. "That doesn't seen like very much, Amity. I'm certain that space is more valuable to you than that," Zykovian commented. "This flat business is really occupying my mind when I should be doing other things. Speaking of which, would Eloquence happen to be around today by any chance?"
