[ The merchant's face takes on a dumbfounded expression Hilda knows that they've put him in an impossible position. She would grin, cling onto Alyn's arm triumphantly were it not for the fact that it would absolutely blow their cover.

So with a shocking amount of restraint she turns her gaze back towards the merchant, staring him down under a steely gaze matching Alyn's own energy.

Why - that's - that's ridiculous my product isn't going to kill anyone.

It's said loudly enough that the several people sharing the front row seat to this little confrontation began to murmur. The merchant's hesitation turns their once interested expressions to distrust and several of them begin to drift away to other stalls. A sympathetic expression replaces the raised eyebrow on Hilda's face. ]

I'm sure you're a great salesman - but maybe try again with a different product next time. I'm sure there are better ways to make a living than scamming people.

[ And with that she loops her arm through Alyn's and begins to lead them away from the stall without a second glance. When they're far enough she lets out the exuberant laugh she had been holding in. ]

That was amazing! Has anyone ever told you how brave you are?
