[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 4019903, member: 10109"] Rienert guides his horses carefully up to the porch, then stands in his seat and streches his arms. "[COLOR=Cyan]Oh, some guys from Hyrag. Can't quite recall what they want."[/COLOR] The gardener seems to hardly listen to Reinert, and ignores the group at this point. He hustles to the back of the wagon and draws forth a wooden box, about 1 foot high and wide by 2 feet long. As Reinert unhitches the horses and lets them graze, the gardener dashes into the cottage, banging the strange, half-metal door behind him. He promply emerges with a hot coal held in iron tongs. He and Reinert sit down on the dirty and rickity porch steps and open the inlaid box. Inside are several velvet pouches, pulled shut with drawstrings. The man opens them one by one and draws in deeply above them with his nose. "[COLOR=Yellow]Havertown strawberry - can't live without it.[/COLOR]" He declares. Opening another, he says, "[COLOR=Yellow]Ah, Freefolk longcut! Wonderful find!"[/COLOR] A third puzzels him. Reinert pipes in. "[COLOR=Cyan]Grey Elven dark. From the shadows of Lathirn. Good stuff, I assure you, though, it will cost you a pound per ounce[/COLOR]". "[COLOR=Yellow]A pound per ounce[/COLOR]!" says the gardener, shocked. "[COLOR=Yellow]I'd better test it out."[/COLOR] They take a moist clump of tobacco from the pouch and place it on a small tray which sits on a glass tube leading to a large bowl. The bowl contains clear water, and is fancily decorated. The man places the hot coal on the tobacco, let's it sit for a moment, then takes a long pull on a flexible tube coming out the other side, which pulls smokey bubbles through the water and makes the coal glow. He releases the smoke and seems to melt into the porch. "[COLOR=Yellow]Ahhhh[/COLOR]." Reinert take the tube and takes a pull himself. The scruffy man finally turns his attention to the party. "[COLOR=Yellow]So, what has the great Hyrag have ask of Trimble the recluse?"[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
