Evanlyn looks from side to side to make sure no one is listening and speaks in a hushed tone. "I'm not at all sure," she says. "The Tunne Noir is very mysterious and misfortune seems to follow anyone who seeks it out, but I would very much like to have a bottle for myself. It's just that I'm much too afraid to go asking for it. If I were you, I would begin by asking around Lower Shrup where the brewers and vintners ply their trades. Be careful who you ask though, and don't let them know I sent you. Who knows what the repercussions could be if word got around that I was looking for it."
“Thank you,” Aluzira says, “I will do my best and be as cautious as I can,” then adds with a smile, “My lips are sealed.” After talking with Evanlyn she will make her way to Lower Shrup.
Aluzira looks down at her pondering for a minute what to say. She seemed trustworthy in a sense despite her actions, but she had promised not to tell anyone what she was looking for. So she decides on a compromise. “I’m looking for something special to cover some of my training. The person asking for it asked me not to tell anyone what it was or who they were.” She keeps wondering if it would be best to have Anakis help since she was good at blending in and sneaking around, but the dangers involved concerned her. It’s possible Anakis would also be at risk if she helped. “Hey, is there something you can do around town while I look for this. There’s a lot of risk involved in searching for this thing and I don’t want to drag you into it.”
Anakis grins, "If we're not supposed to tell anyone about who wants it, why does anyone need to know it's gone?" Then at the comment about risk, Anakis huffs and folds her arms, "I'm not scared. I had a run in with the city guard, and then some silly noble woman near the temples." She then leans back in with a grin again, rubbing her hands together, "Besides, it sounds fun."
Aluzira chuckles at her comment, “You have a fair point!” Then she sighs, “You really do get into lots of trouble on your own don’t you?” She asks rhetorically remembering something being said about a run in with the guards before their trip into the bog. “As long as your sure you want to come with, and I’m sure you’ll no doubt catch on to what I’m looking for but I will keep the persons name secret still,” Then adding with a smile says “Let’s go have some fun!” Aluzira had noticed she was opening up a bit more and been less nervous around Anakis. Perhaps it was because they’d been in each other’s company for awhile now.
Anakis grins and nods, "People forget names all the time. But you can keep cool stuff for as long as you want. Let's go." Anakis will follow Aluzira's lead as they make their way to her goal.
When they arrive at Lower Shrup, Aluzira will look around for any vendors that are set a little bit apart from the others possibly to make eavesdropping harder. Once she spots one she will start to head over trying to figure out how she’s going to even ask about the Tunne Nior indirectly.
The wafting smells of breweries fill the air as you approach a lone merchant pushing a cart laden with bottles of wine and various spirits along a street at the edge of the ward's central area. She has a rough, youthful appearance and barely any possessions.
"Can I interest you in some wine, ladies?" she asks, eyeing you warily but maintaining a neutral demeanor.
“Yes actually!” Aluzira says cheerfully and then a bit quieter asks, “I’m looking for different kinds of wine that aren’t quite as common and a little harder to find. I like trying new things but I’ve started running out of new ones to try, the more dangerous the better! Metaphorically speaking anyways,”. Aluzira mentally facepalms at her attempt to try and ask about the Tunne Nior.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"You should see her collection," Anakis adds, "If you have anything rare, she's the one to talk to." While they talk, she eyes the bottles to see what she can make out (Perception: 8).
The merchant looks at you with a blank expression on her face. "So, you're looking for a rare wine that's... dangerous... me-ta-phorically?" she asks, the last word sounding unfamiliar to her as it haltingly leaves her lips.
As you eye the bottles on her cart, Anakis, you don't see any labeled with the name of the wine you're seeking, but you do spot one decorated with a white, jawless skull on a sunburst very similar to the ones on the bracelet you stole, except the sunburst on the bottle is black instead of purple.
“Uh, yes. Sorry it means…” Aluzira pauses for a moment trying to think of how to explain a metaphor. “Basically it’s not actually dangerous but just really really strong. Although if you did have an actually dangerous or cursed drink that would be interesting,” she adds light heartedly while still mentally face palming at her lack of finesse.
"Hey mister," Anakis says as Aluzira finishes talking about cursed drink, trying to refocus his attention from such a statement, "What's this one here? With the skull on it? Why would you put a skull on a bottle of wine? Is this one poison?" She points at the bottle with the label containing the jawless skull and the black sunburst.

(OOC: sorry for the delayed response!)
Anakis follows alongside Aluzira as she makes her way to the Lower Shrup. "So what did that person want from down here? Maybe I can help?"
