The market stalls nearby were as lively as always despite the particularly overcast day, as the yells of both customers and stall owners alike rang through the air and the scent of delicious foods made Haru's stomach growl. Alright, there was no time to dilly dally around as she ripped the most ridiculous-looking flyer off the board. It was a bright hot pink and coated in glitter, whoever bothered to pay for such paper, clearly had more than enough dosh to toss her way should she successfully complete the job.

Clearing her throat in an attempt to gather his attention it seemed the man was far too focused on his work to even notice her. She'd repeat the throat clearing, louder each time until he finally spun around in her direction.
"Oh, so sorry, was in a world of my own~" The man chuckled, "Are you here to buy one of my works of art?" he asked, puffing out his chest as he boasted.

"You assume correctly, madam." He cooed, taking the flyer from her gently, "The request is simple, I do not have the time of day to both buy my materials and continue working on my projects, I just need you to go and fetch me some more fabrics." He explained as he popped into the backroom before bringing out some of the fabrics currently in his collection. He'd go on to further explain what he required and the best stalls to check, meaning there was really little effort on her part.
With a nod of agreement, he'd hand over a somewhat ridiculous sum of cash, causing Haru to sweat a little. She had never seen so much cash, the thought of simply skipping town with it crossing her mind. No, no then she'd just be making more enemies and what she needed were allies.

She didn't bother to barter on the prices, instead, she just paid whatever the stall owners requested immediately, figuring the guy had given her plenty of cash, to splash, and as such, she may as well make a few more friends in town. Plus it was far quicker than standing around trying to debate the prices.
Eventually, she had a decent stack of fabrics, returning back to Fernandos store. He seemed incredibly pleased with her purchases which was a relief, and she was promptly paid her for her services. With a small skip in her step, she'd completed her first job outside the fighting ring. Perhaps earning an honest living wasn't so bad.
