Apart from sweets and churros."

He followed his lead and skipped his hooves in joy and in some sort of rhythmic movement.
"Yer right about that. Come on - it ain't far from here."
"Aye. Nothing gets one's mind off the stress of the day than a day at the market."

"...Eh, just a pair of people and a wandering familiar."
“ oooh, so you have a big group running everything. ”
"Co-run, aye. Technically speaking the caravan and the merchant license are mine in ownership. I have a cohort who stays more ou' of the spotlight and more in th' paperwork."

“Ooh neat! That actually seems incredibly useful.”
He sipped his coffee as she asked. He looked at her, and sighed. He turned his cup upside down midair. Not only was it not dumping its contents out, but the cup also stood where it was left in the same position as he took his hand away.

“Can I see some examples? Er, besides the levitation.”
He also wrote down "England" to research later.
"Now that is an excellent question."
He outstretched a hand toward the entrance, the words "Rare & Exotic Wonders" from "Starbuck's Caravan of Rare & Exotic Wonders" twinkling in response to his hand movements.
"Items from my travels and trades."

"Aye. Nothing gets one's mind off the stress of the day than a day at the market."
He laughs with a slight shrug of his shoulders, "Sometimes - yes. Other times, Gambit just wan' a quick snack. Ain't the healthiest option but better than nothin'."
He thinks for a moment.
"Do ya wan' go to da market instead? Their food might be...more edible."

He followed him. He recognized the coin slot part of the machine.
"Aye, that's like m' modified coin press souvenir machine."
He looked over the wrapped items.
"So, it's for food, aye? Y' must be such a busy lot to not have time in yer day to walk through a food market n'more."

She chuckles.
"What sorts of goods and services do you provide?"

"I have three responses for that. Firstly, thank you for giving me the name of our location.
Secondly, our means of travel to new worlds is not precise unless we've been there before. Sometimes we just set our spells for the appropriate space and atmosphere for our needs.
The rest is random." --

"What are you doing here in New York?"
"With respect to your time, Miss..."
He gestured to the unwinding leather.
"That will require more than what we have left.
Are there any more pressing interests?"

"Y' would think, aye, and for the first years growing up fae, that's true, but our realm is nothin' but, so it becomes habit to embrace it, and that's how we show our love and spirit with one another!"

"Fascinating, that must have been a chaotic environment, no?"
He raised a brow in confusion.
"Adopted? Nooo.
I have seven parents. Large parentage! That's fae for ya!"
He chuckled.

"All over. Originally though, a place of Seelie and Unseelie alike. Faeries and hobgoblins.
I come from a traveling group of fauns with different sized caravans."
He patted the wood.
"This one was m' Pa's-
Well, my biological Pa's."

"Okay magic salesmen. Where are you from?"
Despite the initial shock of being levitated, she seems quite calm.

He looked over at the leather strip with the hook end, as it stood wrapped around in a cup shape.
"Good first question, and just to let y' know, ye have less than ten minutes for yer interview before you go back down.
That's magic. I'm a skilled wizard, but I consider myself a salesman first."

"Then y' can do some window shopping when y' warm up!"
“ i’m not sure what to buy. ”
"That's a longer answer than what I don't sell."

She clutches her notepad and pen as she floats up.
"First question: What's the deal with... that!?"

He held a finger up and pulled a long strip of leather, and a small fishhook, tying the hook at the end of the strip.
He took out a wand made of petrified wood etched in runes that seemed to shift about slowly in their shapes and swirled his wand.
Caroline would find herself floating to meet him.

"No- no it's a machine that vends snacks like chips, chocolate, crackers...Ya really ain't heard of it? Lemme show ya."
He gestures for Eoin to follow.
Luckily, the machine isn't far. It's only down the road. It's actually not often to see them out on the sidewalks. Typically, they're in stores.
