>>5620951South West Market District ー Jessamine Cloak tailor shop
The tailor shop is a moderately sized one, adorned with pale colors and covered by walls of fabrics. Aside from Tharn, the nervous tailor Sira met two months ago, the shop doesn’t have many employees at all, only three or four employees are in it at any given time.
After Sira worn those garters at the tournament, the tailor shop has gained many new customers, but the burns and cracks of the wooden walls can never be fully hidden, no matter how extensive the fabrics that cover it ー more than a few pissed off gamblers have attacked the Jessamine Cloak.
'Hi mister...'
'.. ah. Mister Sira. It has been a while. What can I do for you?'
The long haired woman is no longer that nervous, sweaty girl that approached him two months ago. Tharn speaks with confidence and her hands remain steady.
Sira explains his situation and commissions her.
'I see, but.. these will take a while. I estimate it to be about three weeks in total.'
'Normally it would be faster but one of our tailors, Bua, is currently sick.'
「That’s alright.」
After some more discussion about schedule and payment, his crows give the tailor shop the pouches of bullet coins.
By the time the new clothes are delivered, it will be the fifth month, the beginning of rain season. A time of agriculture, fishing, and flooding. Travel will be difficult.
..actually, that name sounds familiar. Wasn’t she a colleague of Warin?
Sira request to talk to Tharn privately.
「About your tailor, Bua, I believe I have heard of her. Did she say anything about her former job?」
'She… doesn’t really talk much about it, but I.. I believe she was a cook.'
「Were there any.. scars on her back? I believe she has several of them.」
'… what’s your relationship with this woman?' Her voice turns cold and her eyes are steady.
「My.. colleague used to work with her. She is an apothecary. I figured if it was the same person, maybe she could visit her and help her out.」
