RP: The Compass says North...

Waershorn would finally arrive on Haven Isle, cold and damp. Seeking the nearest place to find warmth, he would be directed by many citizens would direct him to the tavern known as the Tipsy Mermaid, run by the company of the Blue Sashes, who, from what he had heard, are an adventuring guild. Thinking of both the business opportunities and his most important worry; food and warmth. Eventually arriving in the tavern after a few hours of travelling throw the ice and snow. Opening the door, he would be blasted by hot air, and would sigh, and shiver without realizing. Taking a few steps in, he would sit down, and order some food. After finishing the steak and the potatoes, he would smell the delicious smell of a pie. Sniffing the air, his mouth would water, and he would also order a slice of pie.

Gabriella Greatoven being a highly welcomed individual within the Tipsy Mermaid would be seen within the Tavern from time to time passing out slices of pie or maybe even entire pans for whenever someone really wants something sweet, Gabbi works up quite a sweat cooking up the pie and you could see the little halfling zipping by back and forth from the main room and back towards the kitchen where the smell of pie is overwhelming. As Waershorn orders a slice Adolfo informs Gabbi of another order and she comes zipping out with a plate with a slice of pie. "One slice of pie here you are!" Gabbi says with a cheerful smile before reaching up you hand you the plate as you take it Gabbi gives you a small bow and speaks "You enjoy now!" Gabbi says.

Waershorn would smile back "I will. Say... Do you perhaps know this city well? I just arrived here, so as you could guess, I don't know of any place where I could set up shop. I'm a man of less fighting expertise and more... practical ones, yet I wish to set up a shop for adventurers. More specifically, equipment and maps, considering I am a cartographer as my primary trade, though I do dabble in leather working as a side trade." Waershorn mentioning that would sigh. "I do have a distinct lack of funding for my business though, and I can't buy supplies... Say, do you know of a place where I could take out a loan? I really just need to set up a shop here, so I can make a decent living." He would say this with pleading eyes, an almost desperate look on his face.

Gabbi before turning to zip off again would halt to her tracks hearing the man speak up "Oh whats that mister?" Gabbi says  sitting on a stool to get to better height with him so she can understand him more clearly. As he finishes speaking Gabbi nods slowly looking to the ceiling as if think of what to possibly do about this before coming to a conclusion herself. "I think I may know of a way to help you sir..but lets talk about this a little later if you could just wait about an hour and enjoy your drink and what not i'll be finished here in no time...oh! and by the way my name is Gabriella though Gabbi is just fine!" She would say before hopping down not waiting long enough to even catch the man's name as she zips off to the back to finish up the last of the pies she was planning on dishing out. After about 2 or 3 hours as the tavern settles down a little Gabbi would arrive again much cleaner after getting out of the kitchen and looking around for the man again, after  catching sight of you she would smile and grab a chair to sit down before speaking "Ah finally I apologize for the wait people here really have a sweet tooth its crazy!" Gabbi says giving a slight awkward laugh before putting her hands together in realization "Ah that's right I never did catch your name mister!" Gabbi looks to you with an apologetic look awaiting for you to introduce yourself.

Waershorn would look quite guilty, recalling that he did indeed forget to introduce himself properly. "I, am Waershorn Yokjaer. So, you believe you know of a place where I can take out a loan? I would be grateful if you could direct me there." He would look hopeful at this, his eyes lighting up with a grin growing on his face.

Gabbi would say the name to herself a couple of times before nodding to herself and looking to you "Well Waershorn that's just the thing I honestly have no idea on where you could get a loan...no idea at all" She says this almost as a matter of fact as she shakes her head sadly before looking to you smiling "However...I may be able to help you out!...you see I don't know if you know but there are a couple of ways to get a business going one being setting on up in the lower city where we are now...yet its not the...best way to get things going..." She kinda gestures to a window where there would be some homeless folk walking around hungrily. Gabbi rubs the back of her head before speaking again "What I mean is there may be some difficulties running something down here...now here's where things may turn around for you...you see I may not look it but I have been around Haven and beyond doing what you may call...well suicide ventures I agree it's one of the more dangerous ways to make gold but it can be very beneficial..I've made enough to where I could live a long and comfortable life..." She pauses for a moment thinking about the next words to come outta her mouth before looking to you "So here is my proposal to you...I shall loan you the gold to get your business up and running in the upper city alongside mine...but the catch is you make me the co-founder of your business..." Gabbi says this in a much lower tone knowing that talking about delicate topics such as this may catch the ears of some unwanted folks.

Waershorn's grin would suddenly grow, showing a set of perfect white teeth, "Miss Gabriella, this is a great deal! I cannot thank you enough! Indeed, not only shall I name you the co-founder of by business, but a permanent lifetime discount, and a cut of the profits!"

Gabriella would smile to your positive response and sit back herself smiling "Perfect I'm glad to hear it!" Gabbi would ponder some things for a moment or two before nodding to herself and looking to you "Well if we are to make things official I may haft to get some papers together for you to sign for my inclusion to your business I would love to chit chat about the details but I must get going myself...why don't you stay here in the tipsy mermaid it'll be my treat that way I know where to send the paperwork so we can be official business partners!" Gabbi would say lending out her hand for him to shake.

He would shake her hand, and wait in the Tipsy Mermaid for the paperwork.
