Merchant Astra (2)

---

Found the currency; a 'small' coin is half of that denomination, a 'medium' is one of that denomination, and a 'large' is 25 of that denomination; so the Dogkin last chapter paid a large copper and a small silver (25 copper plus 50 copper) for the ring.

I'm equating 1 Silver to be roughly 75$ in modern USD but honestly who cares about all that when Astra can skip the money and pay in 'other means'~!

"Ooh! This is so~ pretty! The blue does wonders for this gorgeous silver! Oh, and is it engraved?!"

An excited Elf stood in front of me, her sapphire eyes wide as she stared down at the most expensive ring I had on display, admiring it on her dainty finger and cooing as she turned it this way and that, just like a few of the women had done already.

"Don't you agree, honey~? Doesn't it look just~ perfect~?"

She looked to the side and showed it to her partner, who just nodded with a stoic expression as she tried to avoid leering at my cleavage again, her fluffy fox ears fluttering as she looked at her partners hand, only to glance back at my breasts as I leaned over, letting them dangle freely in her sight.

Teasing them had been fun, especially since the Elf was rather oblivious to everything - or just acting that way, who knows - and she was focused on the jewelry, all while her partner was focused on my necklace... which rested in my cleavage.

"It looks wonderful on you, Miss! Really compliments your eyes~! All while still being quite a graceful pick for such an elegant woman like yourself~!"

The Elf beamed at me, her eyes lighting up as she nodded and flaunted the ring some more, eventually asking "How much for it, Miss!? Oh, I really~ want it!"

While I was tempted to ask the Foxkin what she was willing to do to pay for it, I curbed my lust for now since the Elf was holding her partners hand tightly, giggling and beaming at her as she tried her best to convince her that the price would be worth it.

The forbidden flavor of a married or taken woman making love to me instead of their wife or partner was tempting, but I knew that I would only feel guilty if I started a conflict between two people all because I couldn't control my loins.

So, I just stood back and up adjusted my dress a little, thinking for a moment and saying "2 Silvers and 25 Coppers, Miss! It is one of my more impressive works, and the engraving took a little more time than I had thought!"

The Elf pursed her cherry red lips and looked towards her partner, who let out a sigh before fishing out three coins from her purse, handing them to me as she said "Here... Nothing else for today, love, please... We still have some things we need to buy."

Her partner heard her words but instead focused solely on her new ring, giggling to herself and swooning over the Foxkin, who sighed again but hooked her arm around the Elf's waist, nodding to me before walking away.

Slipping the coins into my inventory, I grinned at the next customer, this one gesturing towards one of the vases and asking "How much for the vases and pots, Miss? I can see that they're glazed and painted, so..."

A shorter Bunnykin was looking at the vases with hopeful eyes, and I smiled softly beneath my veil as I answered "Vases are 75 Copper and the pots are 25 to 50 Copper, depending on size and glaze. Like you said, they are glazed, so they'll survive a bit longer as long as you are careful, and the painting was time consuming as well... Keep them safe, away from extreme temperatures, and be gentle and they should last you for years to come~!"

"Then... give me this pot and this vase please. Would a single Silver be enough?"

"Indeed, indeed~!"

Accepting that silver, I handed her the pot and vase before looking towards the next customer, who was stroking her chin as she stared down at the bracelets resting in one of the boxes.

A mane of fluffy brown hair cascaded down her shoulders, while two fluffy ears adorned the top of her head, twitching as she listened to everything around her.

Wearing a cropped shirt that revealed her toned abs, the Wolfkin hunched over to stare at the bracelets closely before asking "Miss, which bracelet do you think would look best on me? I'm not the most... fashionable in the world."

Staring closely at the bracelets, the Wolfkin looked up and smirked as she stared straight at my boobs as I leaned down to appraise my jewelry again, making me smirk as well.

"Hmm... I'm not entirely sure... Here, why don't you come back to the cart with me and let me help you? I have extras back there..."

Her smirk widened, and the few women behind her raised a brow but only shrugged, making their way over to Kalia and Camara, who had been dealing with a good amount of customers already over the last hour.

Glancing back at Aethisia, I nodded to my daughter and watched as she moved over towards my portion of the stalls, sitting down and watching as I led the Wolfkin to the back, the smirking woman unashamedly swatting my ass and groping it as she followed me closely.

Entering the cart, I flipped a portion of the veil up and accepted her lips as she hungrily kissed me, moaning softly as she slipped her hands beneath my dress and groped me directly, cupping my butt and tit at the same time.

"Didn't know if you were a horny little minx of a merchant or not, but damn glad I came over to check... I'll pay you real~ good for a bracelet and a ring, Miss Merchant~! Real, real good..."
