Ashlynn began making her way across town, going to each specific vendor that was mentioned to her from the manager of the theater. This particular job seemed to be mostly a task of convenience, at it's core it was mostly running a basic errand for the theater staff who were presumably too busy to do it themselves. On the other hand, there was some challenge in both spotting counterfeit products and negotiating proper price for authentic products. Ashlynn, despite not being well versed in fabric, had an eye for detail. She could spot counterfeit or even just poorly constructed material rather easily. It was the latter issue that she struggled with. She always had an issue with haggling or bartering goods, because logically it made no sense to her for prices to differ for the same product and quantities. Rather than trying to negotiate properly, she mostly refused to purchase over priced goods and simply moved on to the next vendor. She did get all the material required for the theater but it took her far longer than it probably should have and left many vendors stumped when she walked away without negotiation.
She returned to the theater, silk fabrics in tow. The manager Yua and herself exchanged a few pleasantries, inspected the goods.. and received her pay accordingly. There didn't seem to be any fuss over the time it took to complete the job, since there wasn't any counterfeit product and she stayed in the budget. "I hope my services were satisfactory today and wish you success in your upcoming shows." She bowed politely and left quietly.
