"The men at the taverns who take too long deciding which pretty girl they are interested in, go home alone," Summer said, "But you want to talk price, we can do price." she quoted the number She and Lily had discussed, which factored in the cost of growing and shipping, as was still tidy profit.

"Consider that within a few months, you'll have a customer base of transfixed loyalty. The possibility for your profit margin will be amazing. And they'll just keep coming back," Summer said. "I think you could easily see 20% returns, and that'll go up once you've got them hooked."

"Which I fully appreciate," Summer replied, "But I'm not sure what you want me to do about it. I'm offering you a product with almost limitless profit potential, and you want me to knock a few more silvers off my end? Come one now, I'm the one with hard and fast expenses that need covering.

Summer frowned... "How about an introductory price. First month," Summer says, quoting a number that was half way between the amount of profit they had initially wanted, and what was absolutely necessary to pay the bills. "If it sells the way I say it will, we go to the regular price next month, If not, we can renegotiate or take it elsewhere."

Lily was waiting outside nervously, when she heard the price quoted she let out a large sigh of relief, "That is better then I expected. You have done well." She gave her a little hug.

Summer hugged her tightly, "Thank you, I couldn't have done it without you. Are we settled now? Its been a long day, but I know at some point I'm going to have to return north, and I want to make certain you have everything you need to keep things going before then."

Summer exhaled, "Thank gods. I'm exhausted. We'd best pick up our brothers. They are probably three sheets to the winter wind by now." She said with a giggle.
