8292, Month of Thawing
The market of Miras City was bustling with life. It was the early afternoon, and the sun was already bright in the sky.
"Wines for sale! Fine wines for sale- would you like to try a sip, ma'am, or perhaps your lovely husband?" Adair Elduir cried out. "Oh- he's not your husband, my apologies- would you like to try some anyway?"
It had been like this all morning. All the signs seemed to point towards a fine day of selling wine; the weather was good, people were in a good mood.. Yet they all seemed to pass his cart by as though he wasn't there at all. He could offer as many samples as he liked, but although plenty of people were willing to try free drinks, no one seemed interested in actually buying a bottle.
On days like these, Laurian would sometimes play music to try and lure some more people in, but she'd left some time ago to do some shopping of her own, and Adair had not seen her since. She'd promised she'd be back soon, and he found himself hoping she would be. This was their last day in Miras City; wouldn't it be so much greater if they could go out with a bang?
He spotted another passerby who'd made the mistake of glancing in his direction, and gave her what he hoped was a winning smile. "Good day, m'lady! How about some wine?"
