[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6318073, member: 93930"] Wiste chuckles conspiratorially. [COLOR=#8b4513]"[/COLOR][COLOR=#8b4513]And making sure that any goods that do go wandering off don't have an inconvenient paper trail behind them, right? Or at least making sure that the paper trail is in the hands of people who wouldn't be inclined to be interested?" [/COLOR]He taps the side of his nose, then turns unlocks a cabinet filled with older ledgers. He takes three of them down. Paging through, he remarks,[COLOR=#8b4513] "Just the jewelry, you said? Well, I can't tell you the exact girl that every piece went to, because some of them were sort of, ah, you know ... [I]short-term[/I]. But I can tell you what he ordered, and I can tell you that they all went to some girl or another. Let's see ... the last of the Don's orders was two simple diamond chokers ... before that, an evening length silver necklace with an emerald pendant ... then the gold ouroboros bracelet. Don't know about the others, but I'm pretty sure the bracelet went to a Rhat'manis dancer named Viper. And finally some electrum teardrop earrings. Don't know those either." [/COLOR]The merchant opens up an older ledger. [COLOR=#8b4513] "Before that ... it was a tiara, silver and sapphire with a wave motif. It don't think that one was for a girlfriend actually. I think that one was a peace offering for a sea witch. Okay, and before that ..." [/COLOR]He suddenly snorts half a laugh.[COLOR=#8b4513] "Before that was a rose necklace ... and the rose earrings ... and the rose bracelets ... more rose earrings. All of that was Rosa. Gods, she had expensive tastes." [/COLOR]He looks up from the book. [COLOR=#8b4513]"If you find any Johann and Sons jewelry with a rose motif or a flower motif, you can bet that was a present from the Don to Rosa. Anyway, where was I ... ? [COLOR=#8b4513]Oh yes, the topaz pendant for the other girl ...[/COLOR]" [/COLOR] He begins flipping more pages in the ledger.
