QCC:  Greetings and good eve to ye Naur... I was hoping to have a word or two with ye... about your shop  ::Checks her notes::  Uialtum General Store...  We would like to gather some information for the Merchant Spotlight in the QCC Newsletter.

Naur Lina:  "Amin?" She blinked, a little surprised. "Lle need to buy something arwen?" A sale! She would be on her best behavior. "Lle llok like lle need something special!" 

QCC:   ::Listening carefully, and repeating it mentally for several seconds, then a cautious nod::  Ye have many fine itemes in your shop.  Does it's name have a meaning?

Naur Lina:  "Uma" She nodded, the large pice of chocolate that she got from her easter basket from Madje set carefully back in it's place. "It mean.." She had to pause now to think. A single finger tapping lightly on her chin. "Twilight Valley?" another nod, confirming her words.  

QCC:   A lovely name.  I see ye stock a wide variety of items as well.  How do ye decide what ye shall be stocking and selling?

Naur Lina:  "Diola lle, arwen!" A lopsided grin was given. "Amin just like to travel and find new things from other places. That how amin get things to sell."

QCC:   Ahh  ::nodding slightly:: Would that make some of the items then one of a kind?
Naur Lina:  "Uma! Some things amin can numa find again. Some things come sai at a time. The silks are made by elves." She watched the woman for a moment "Lle know, amin think lle look sai vanima in silks. Lle should come try them."

QCC:   ::chuckling::  I might at that...  Tell me, what led ye to the idea of opening the Uialtum General Store?

Naur Lina:  "Well when amin live in Telarus, amin numa have much to do and amin want to take care of amin. So Sia help amin to build a store and that how amin survive." She let her gaze drift to the basket near by then back to the woman. It's rude not to offer something to a guest, so leaning over her own basket, she lifted Chan's and held it out to Des. "Are lle hungry, arwen?"

QCC:   ::She selected a few jelly beans::  Thank ye.  ::Checks her list of questions again::  Is there anything special ye would like to tell the members of the QCC about your shop?

Naur Lina: "Uma, amin have sai things to sell and amin try to make sure that everyone can buy them. Sage tell amin that amin cheap but amin numa cheap, arwen. Amin a quel arwen." She nodded. The nerve of Sage to even consider such a thing!

QCC:   Amin a quel arwen?  I fear I do naut understand the last....  Are ye trying to say that ye have  priced your items reasonably?

Naur Lina:  "Numa be afraid arwen! Amin numa hurt lle." A small frown as she listened. "Uma, that what amin say!" She laughed. "Amin say that Amin numa, cheap and numa listen to Sage too." She didn't get the understanding that Sage was refering to reasonably priced items and that she wasn't a hussy. 

QCC:   ::blink blink::  Aye...  I shall do my utmost to ne'er listen to Sage. ::Checks her list:: Ye mentioned your silks... and I do see ye have some lovely dresses in stock.  What are other popular sellers?

Naur Lina:  "Ohh people like the black rose dress! But, sai people just buy the length of silk to were like amin do." She stood, making a slow turn so that Des could see the long length of purple, translucent silk wrapped about her tiny frame.

QCC:   Very lovely indeed.  ::smiling::  One final question.  Would ye be planning any specials or sales, or changes to your shop in the near future?

Naur Lina: "Amin numa ever thought about a sale." She pondered that for a moment. "That a quel idea, arwen! So amin answer is uma, amin planning it... now." Laughing she let her hand dive into her basket and recover a piece of chocolate.

QCC:   Then I shall certainly be keeping an eye out for that sale.  And I do thank ye for your time.

Naur Lina:  "Diola lle, arwen for coming to visit. If amin can ever help lle with anything, seas just ask."  Pausing she had to add in a little something else... "Well amin numa good with dragon hunting... lle need to see Aou'me for that."

QCC:   I shall remember that as well.  And again thank ye.

Naur Lina:  "Alluve, arwen." She gave a small bow.
