At the Moon Mart (1)

This darkness had been his world. But, he still had someone whom he wanted to protect, as long as he held on to that, there was still hope.

"Did you know where the moon mart got its name from?" the man called Erel, who was their broker for tonight enquired Vilkas, who was now passing through the crowd as Ethan Marion asked, Elara who was going by the alia, Irine Marion. They were apparently rich merchant couple from a foreign land who have suddenly got rich and were now trying to get their had for some easy, but large money.

"Humour us, Lord Erel, we are already smitten by everything about this place." Vilkas was unusually chatty, unlike his real persona.

Erel who was tempted for a good cut and some bonus, quickly explained, "The moon mart begins at moon rise here, so the business hours here are pretty awry. The staffs here are hired on non-disclosure basis. They aren't allowed to have a family, most of them are orphans. They aren't allowed to take holidays."
