Marmaduke lofts a brow, and gives Fin a brief sidelong glance. But most of her focus stays on the scroll work on hand. Taking some powder from a pouch next to her, Marmaduke sprinkles it across the final line, causing it to flare briefly with a blue light. "Zalandra." She asks, prompting half-drow with a long and braided ponytail to stop scribbling with so much fury into a book seemingly made of mix-matched papers.
"Let Og know the second one is done. And ask if want others when done, or altogether once ALL done." Zalandra pouts and start to open her mouth. "I know. Not a messenger anymore. But please. Have customer."The elven teen still huffs and shoots Fin a dirty look on her way out of the booth. Marmaduke just gives a motherly smirk and shakes her head. "Though not good for business, I am sure you heard of another -- this... Top hat vendor doing the same work. And for cheaper too. How is /he/ making a profit though, I have no idea." Marm clears her throat, and turns to properly look Fin up and down while rolling up her scroll. "Twenty five gold, and not a gold less. This covers basic cost materials. Any less, and it is out of pocket, and I make no real money. I'm sure you understand." The gold dwarf folds her arms and blows a loose lock hair away from an eye.
"Just as I'm sure you understand that I have previous orders, so it will be some time before you 'see the results' for your personal, mn, purchase. Sound like deal?"

Marmaduke pulls out small booklet and starts thumbing through it. "Let's see.. let's... Ah... Oh, well that's somewhat unfortunate. It won't be for another four days at least." She smirks, and then sighs again. "With how quickly you green ones have been shooting up ranks. It would be a wonder if you even still need it by then... Even so, if you don't mind the wait, it will be done by the evening of the 4th day. Honestly, if I can get that Gell fellow at least to work for a few days for me, it'd be done much quicker, instead of running off to hunt F'ing Wyverns."
I've been a bit busy lately but i think i can manage. Grianne responds as she soaks in the hot water.

"Anyway, if I can help make scrolls for you I'd be happy to. Do you happen to know of any other places around here one might be able to find scrolls or spell books?"
Marmaduke shakes her head, and then pats Fin on the hand if close enough. "I appreciate the offer, and though I complained about that... 'Gell' fella, its only because he has free time. And I know him-..."She rolls her eyes. "Enough at least that he can manage a few for me. But for you, I worry as I would not be able to pay you much, and you would miss chance at making own to keep for edge in Colisuem." She admits.

"Fair enough. Well here is your 25 gold. Obviously I don't think you will work against your own business but do you know of anywhere else I might find spells to study around here? .....Other than the Top Hat fella. Spells you don't offer perhaps?"
Marmaduke slaps her forehead, then winces from having hit her horn. "Right, you ask that -- uhm… hmm... I've been rather lately, so I can't say I've gotten around all too often. But-..."She looks around the general area all warily at first. "Wait, what I'm doin'. You can either try either the supply shop, uhm.. Forgot his name. I usually have my other runners deal handle retrievals." She starts stroking her chin. "There's maybe that one where you can get supplies for these sort of things, and then.. you could try the library. One of those bookish types are likely willing to sell a few they made for practice or somethin."

"Thank you very much." Fin heads off to join the others (posted previously) The next day she heads out to the magical supply shop and the library to inquire about any spells they might have available.
Fin, Belle, the librarian, could pass for a princess. She has brown hair tied back in a blue ribbon, and wears a blue dress with a white apron. She is definitely not a goblin... Right now.

”Deal. Happy to wait. As it seems the little one does not wish to run messages when would be a good time for me to check back?”

I got alot a doods
Deceit walks up to the barkeeper at the time and asks
"Are there any pet shops in town? Maybe someplace i can get something a little dangerous, perhaps like a snake? Nothing too fancy."

Fin tosses the goblin a gold piece as she walks in the library. She approaches the front desk looking for the librarian.
