"Lady Ashire, if I may…" A man dressed in fine suit approached Ashire while rubbing both hands in a generous expression.
"Scurry off, I don't have time for this today."
Ashire wore a pissed look as she went about her business. She managed to acquire the item she came to the auction for, instead of entrusting its return to the appropriate hands, she decided to do it herself for safety, and also because she wished to meet with the dame who had sent her.
After dismissing the man, Ashire hurried to the wagon, the four ladies with her. She had an apprehensive edge to her steps as she walked into the wagon, and her mind was still occupied by other things.
Changing her mind midway before the wagon moved, Ashire asked the coachman to hold on, "I'll send the message through my summons, you all return to your respective duties, or whatever it is you were doing."
