"Who can tell how a demon thinks?"

Hmm...

You're a tea merchant, right? Do ya know anything about makin' tea from flowers?

"Depends on the flower, but I know a bit. Why?"

I was given a flower that I dunno how ta use. I was told whatever it's put in has ta be made fresh so it's only available ta have at the place it's from, but is it good for a day or two after it's picked, or is it gone if ya don't use it right after it's picked? Some teas are like that too, right?

"...

Some teas are like that, yeah. It's possible you could still get use out of your flower for a couple of days."

Oh, then the one I've got might still be good. I'm from way way way outta town, and the window on this flower sounds pretty short, so this is probably the only chance I'll have ta pass it along ta someone who can use it.

"Yeah? Let's see the flower."

You wanna trade me for it? I was aimin' ta give it to a certain mysterious demon.

"How am I supposed to tell you if it's good or not if I can't see it?"

.. Smell?

"Smell..."

Fine fine, I'll save ya the indignity of sniffin' my pockets.

[Will dig out the slightly squished silver flower for him to examine.]

He takes it and looks at it for a while, touching a petal gently.

"Where did you say you got this?"

It was a huge glass palace by a really big river.

His face is neutral as he hands it back.

"It's only good for six hours after you pick it."

[Will go ahead and wrap it in the mango cloth since it is no longer holding a mango]

Still got some time then. Tea ain't pudding, but it might be nice.

"Yeah, it might be nice. You really wanna meet this guy?"

I wanna see if his face is as evil as the poster.

"Haha. Alright, alright. You can usually find him if you look around that back alley there."

A back alley meeting—!

"What do you expect from shady wanted men?"

I just haven’t had one in a while. Well thanks!

[scurries off, not bothering to disguise that he goes invisible as he leaves. his footsteps are still there though]

If he heads to the back alley... nobody appears to be there...? Maybe they're deeper in.

Venture deeper?

[Ventures deeper! Somewhat cautiously. He keeps an eye on his surroundings but also is aware he wandered directly into an alley just cuz some guy said to so it’s already ill advised. ]

"Wow, you really were serious."

The MAN

the MYTH

the LEGEND

the GOLDEN-EYED ASP

is leaning over the railing of a small balcony above him (not far above - it's a first floor balcony). In the dim light his eyes shine like a cat's.
