[ Xue Yang waits for a reply for several seconds before crossing his arms. ]
What? Don't want to sell anything more?
[ There's a brief pause before the reply comes.
"Rookery is all but closed for the night. Even should you not haggle, you would not buy in time."
That catches Xue Yang by surprise. ]
Rookery? That this place? [ He gestures as he glances around. ] Don't try to pull some bullshit about closing. Things never close around here. Do you think I arrived yesterday?
[ But he's barely turned back before there's a sudden wooshing feeling. Like breath being sucked out, then returned with the odd sense that you hadn't even been breathing before. The chill of the other world disappears along with the lanterns, stalls, even the wares directly in front of the two of them.
It's abrupt enough that Xue Yang doesn't even manage to react at first. ]
