Lily led them into a shop just on the edge of Flea Bottom. It is clean, and full of herbs, and books.

Summer followed behind, with Ramsay looking around cautiously, and making eyes at any of the denizens of the Bottom who seemed like to make trouble.

A exremely short man in purple robes, and a pointy green hat sat on a stool near a table with a locked box on it. He smiled at Lily, and said in a squeeky voice, "Dear girl you have returned from Pentos? Did you see any snapper-cross?"
Lily smiled back at him, and shook her head, "No Tobias, none... I have come about other business as well. This is my new partner Summer Snow."

Summer gave a stiff curtsy,"Pentos?" She looked at Lily suspiciously, and then smiled, "Tobias, a pleasure to meet you."

Lily nodded, "Before we had to leave King's Landing most of our trade flowed across the narrow sea." She said to Lily, then turned back to the man, "We are here to pitch you a new product."
She looked at Summer, and nodded for her to go on.

"Sourleaf. It grows naturally, but we breed it for the best results. When you chew it relieves all kinds of pain, including headache, muscle ache, and joint ache. Also toothache. Invigorates the body, and increases energy," She recites. "Ours is the best, because it grows on the flinty hillside, and it soaks up acids and things in the rock."

Summer removed a small bite for tasting from a pouch at her waist and handed it forward.
"here you are."

Tobias raised it to his nose, and sniffed it repeatedly until it seemed he could glean no more information from its scent. Then he slipped it into his mouth, and rolled it around his tongue, "Interesting... you have altered the properties greatly. Is it a secret what you grafted it to?" He began to chew cautiously.

Summer nodded, "it's carefully tended too. We've a couple different varieties, and we've worked different breeds to get the best results."

Tobias looked intrigued, "How many varients? Have you thought about improving the taste? Bitter but potent... is effective, but sweet and potent... well thats... I do not know of a word big enough for that."

Summer frowned, "I can't say as to that. I'm the seller, not the grower, but I can take that back, and have my cousins get to the work and see if its a thing that can be done."

Tobias smiled, and nodded, "Do you think they will every visit the city, I would love to speak with them."

"If business is good, I am sure they will send down someone eventually who you could speak to about the growing business, "Summer said with a smile, "So are you intrigued by the proposition of carrying our product?"

Tobias nodded, "Of course. I must have it. It is brilliant."
