They were out of the market, for the most part while there were a few stalls left Rena left them alone, not as if they had the funds to entertain buying anything extra. Interestingly enough there appeared to small gathering area for discussions, these were more common in major cities and were actual meeting halls rather than the outdoor one present in the hamlet. Rocks and lugs must've been hauled from elsewhere, that didn't seem to matter much since the spot was crowded anyway. Rena pulled Noboyuki towards the meeting place, insisting that they could use information, but really in truth she just wanted to hear some stories. The way it worked at these gathering spots was everyone took part, one person takes a turn to share either a piece of information or a story, in Eskar it was a very social activity, an important one at that. Tales were varied, some were about actual events, very solem, down to earth about the continued invasion of demonic forces. Often times it brought the mood downward, but no one could deny the importance of such news. Others were boasting from hunters, kills of epic proportions, course most knew them to be false but it was all in good fun. One in particular was of [i]Sir Roland[/i] quite honestly only children stories about the moral adventures of a fictional knight. Rena while, she didn't say anything, still had a love for these childish tales, despite the fact she long outgrew them. When it was her turn Rena decided to talk about one of the far off realms she visited years ago, Daldrom, a merchant republic more akin to Noboyuki's medieval Italy than a typical kingdom. While she wasn't considered to be a talented storyteller, Rena tried to be animated as possible throwing her arms about when described the vast vineyards to the best of her ability. She went into greater detail about the daily life of the common folk, about the brick homes they lived in, their cultural foods which mostly considered of fish. Then when it came to the court, she tried to paint a clear picture of the soaring palace walls, the well maintained lawn, the sophistication of the artists, the poets, of the best works displayed proudly within that ivory white castle. By the end Rena looked ecstatic, smiling brightly and even laughing occasionally. She turned to Noboyuki, seeing as it was his go, she proceeded to forcefully pull to guy to his feet. "Come on Noboyuki." Rena spoke in a teasing tone, almost singsonging, "I hope you got something good for these folk." She looked upon him practically grinning. This date was great, a single chance to cut loose, at least for a day.
