[ The merchant seems to think there may be an opportunity here to barter with both women. They're a bit pushy, as one may need to be when their business is wholly reliant on sale of goods. But if two wheels of cheese won't get it, then Himeka thinks it's a little too steep all around. (No retainers to maintain a steady income, after all.) ]

Well, mayhaps next time, then. We can't dally too long. Places to do, things to be.

[ Yes, exactly as she said.

She waves to the Lunae shopkeep, placing herself a bit between the other woman and the stall to allow her an out. ]

Thank you!

[ Once they're a decent distance away, Himeka is finally brave enough to turn her gaze back to the woman. Hyur, she can see, and not familiar, but...she can't shake that feeling, the one that makes her heart sink into her stomach. She tries not to let it show in her smile. ]

They can be a bit pushy, but they've been kind to us. I think they understand the Summoned don't usually have deep pockets.
