You and Jodaz walk in the direction of another shop. And then...

After leaving that store, you and Jodaz visited several more shops and stalls on this street. Jodaz's chatter demonstrated his indefatigable desire to tell you all the information he could that would give you the impression of the greatness of Jodaz's abilities as a merchant and of the exceptional intelligence and outlook of Jodaz as a traveler. However, you only felt boredom and you yawned furtively while Jodaz enthusiastically expressed his thoughts on the most diverse issues of our time.

Evening was coming, the streets of the city were getting darker. You saw fewer and fewer passers-by around.

Half an hour later, you and Jodaz were walking down the street to another shopping store.

Suddenly you heard a melodious female voice.

You turned around and saw a young half-elf woman talking to the merchant Jodaz. This woman looked quite attractive and sweet. Her face was covered with freckles, her reddish hair was tied into a bun, her blue eyes looked intently at Jodaz. She was dressed in hiking clothes: a light leather jacket, pants, boots.

She said to Jodaz: “Hello, dear! Please forgive me for disturbing you. Are you the famous merchant-traveler Jodaz? Isn’t that right?”

Jodaz's fat, wrinkled face broke into a satisfied smile.

He replied: “You were not mistaken, beautiful stranger! I am the same merchant-traveler Jodaz! The same Jodaz who crossed a dozen seas from the Cape of Great Harmony covered with tropical jungle to the Yalann island of Nefgrold, which is surrounded by ice and cold rocks!”

The half-elf woman smiles slightly and says: “What a lucky coincidence that I met you now! I was absolutely delighted with the shipment of jade jewelry that you delivered last year to the capital of Orlania! I would very much like to talk with you about the most exclusive goods, which you currently have! I want to invite you to my house, is that okay?"

You see that Jodaz seems to be devouring with his eyes the beautiful body of this young half-elf woman.

Jodaz says: "Of course, my fair lady. I would be very glad..."

You feel vaguely anxious. For some reason you don't like this coincidence. You feel that things are moving too quickly. You feel that you urgently need to intervene.

You interrupt Jodaz: “Please forgive me, but our caravan must soon continue its journey. We need to make many preparations. This requires the personal presence of the leader of our caravan, who is the respected Jodaz. Therefore, the honorable merchant Jodaz is ****, with all courtesy, to decline your offer "

Jodaz turns his face in your direction in surprise.

He says to you: "What happened, Ulkin? What's the problem? I'm just going to visit this charming young lady for a while. I don't understand why you..."
