The two younglings hid behind Magick's wing, away from the very scary bone-covered Imperial. Aenaes was doing slightly better, looking over to the flaming skydancer "Gorgon, I have you on the list" he said, oversized pen shaking as he attempted an entry. "But I don't have this other dragon - is he a member of clan @nightsorrow?" Hestia looked over at the proferred garment, trying to decide if she should snatch it, or continue hiding when she suddenly brightened up with a squeak "Daddy!" A regal skydancer strode up and gave a paternal glare at the assorted riff-raff surrounding what had (until the previous year) been the clan's lemonade stand.

Fiore glared at Aenaes "What has Bella gotten up to this year?" Aenaes stuttered a response "She said that she couldn't attend the stand this year because Cielo had told her she should be old enough to know better..." Shortwings bright laugh (abruptly stifled) was followed by his ringing tenor voice "Cielo certainly couldn't accuse you three of that!" he chuckled again "We had best stick around Fiore, it looks like the usual rowdies have started up again" With a squawk, and a loud crash, a nearby booth sagged over to one side, with various animated objects making a rush for freedom having ruptured their containers and scampering over, under and through the attending dragons. Fiore rolled his eyes "easy for you to say, your kids won't get blamed if the lair catches fire again!" Shortwing grinned "that was last year. the year before that the nesting grounds exploded, so I'm sure that this year will be a different sort of catastrophe!" he casually leaned over and snatched a skittering telescope, and a madly scrambling spidery seat, tossing both back to the harried proprietor of "Hal's Nocturnel familiars"

Hestia looks over to Gorgon, and grabs the guise before it can fall to the ground, batting away several other skittering familiars that appear to be bent on escape. They knock over a few of the odd vials, cases and gourds, scattering them at the feet of the dragons surrounding the stand and spilling contents here, there and everywhere.

Hestia stutters "I.. I think that Auntie listed the dragons that helped in her 'speriments." she pulls back bashfully

Astraea interjects, much more ready to speak because there isn't a scary dragon staring at her "We din't 'spect any clan leaders to come, 'specially since last years troubles"

Fiore cuts her off, and addresses Helsig, trying to avoid the fetid stench of his familiar "I'm sure we should have prepared for more dignitaries: while the clan is a trading clan, our representatives are perhaps a bit young for their roles." He looks over at Aenaes "Please provide the good dragon with a fire egg"

"b b b b but..." sputters Aenaes. flipping through a stack of recent exchange records "This says that a guise is nowhere near the price tha..."

Fiore gives him a glare "Do you see Cielo here requiring that we get full value at the cost of the good regard of an allied clan?"

Aenaes blinks, and grabs another volume :But Helsig isn't listed in our book of..."

Fiore grabs the ledger from Aenaes "Perhaps clan @nightsorrow is listed in a more recent update. Give. Him. The. Egg." Aenas grabs the closest fire egg, which was skittering toward "safety" and hands it firmly to Helsig
"With compliments of the clan"

(OC @nightsorrow - sending a PM with a fire egg - feel free to send the apparel when you have a chance.)

As the goddess of wealth, she's struck up deals with multiple recently-hatched businessdragons (after the deals were approved by their guardians, of course). "I see. I have come to pay tribute to this clan. Perhaps we could exchange for an egg instead?" Her eyes shift, distracted, to scan the crowd of retired soldiers. She can feel their weariness like an icy grip. It both terrifies her and excites her. The fresh soldiers behind her follow her gaze, and she can feel them tense. She knows they crave the day they can carry the experience the battle-scarred do. "Considering the price of eggs, I would be happy to throw in a few tokens for a different festival." Seemingly out of nowhere, she procures a large amount of a writhing plant. They're the token of the Scarred Wasteland, and valuable this time of year. "If you're willing, I know someone who would love a shadow egg."

Aenaes looks at the pile of shrooms and the rest of the stuff, takes the "lesson" from Fiore to heart and passes over a shadow egg. "Here ya go, thanks!"

Fiore looks startled, and manages to bite his tongue before pointing out that the trade just made by the youngling would *not* have Cielo's approval. Witha sigh, he resigns himself to another week or two in the mire, collecting shellbugs to ease his clan matriarch's ire...

(OC - @rookie - trade completed, I'm not sure where I'll put those extra dragons...

@thosevoices - I'm sending along the pile of familiars that you have collected in your basket, check your PM's please)
