Chapter 151 A World-Class Auction (1/2)

”Are you sure about this?” asked Ebony, ”I really don't get why we'd need anything from there anyway. We're only going to be stepping on the toes of bigger and more powerful people if we bid on anything”.

”Who said anything about bidding?” asked Aegin.

”I wouldn't hesitate to bid if it was something I wanted,” Rassa piped up.

”That's my point,” Ebony sighed, ”Please don't be impulsive”.

”I am never impulsive,” Rassa scoffed.

”Sure,” Aegin smirked, ”And I don't spend my spare time napping”.

Rassa spun to face Aegin, ”Whose side are you on?”

Aegin raised his hands in surrender, ”I'm just pointing out that you can, in fact, be impulsive when you want something”.

”When? Name one time”.

”Well, there was that time when you decided to control a fire and lead a stranger right onto your trail,” Aegin began.

”Or that time when you tripped up a man in a bar just because he was being an a**hole”.

”Or when-”

”I said one”.

Ebony and Aegin hid smiles behind their hands like two scheming children and Rassa couldn't help rolling his eyes. Children, the both of them. Was he really that impulsive? He hadn't thought he was. Now that he thought about it though, perhaps he was. His Vampiric instincts leaking out and making him go after what he wanted like the world was his playground. Like there weren't any consequences for his actions. Perhaps he should try and reel that impulse in a little more. If only to protect those closer to him.

”Fine, I won't bid without consulting you first”.

Ebony sighed, knowing that was the best she'd get.

The three of them had been invited to join Falla's party on the first floor of the Auction Hall. It was the same hall they'd used for the performance mid-festival, but this time their seating was on the lowest floor with other lesser known trading firms. Rassa hadn't noticed the last time, but the floor he'd been on previously was for those of the highest teir. Then, he and Ebony had been guests of the Tokens, this time, they were guests of Apple Tree Trading. Rassa could see the merit in this teir system, but he also felt that it didn't really matter where one sat in this instance, the thing that spoke the most was money.

Layn met them at the entrance and escorted them to where Falla was waiting.

”I'm glad you could make it,” Falla smiled.

”It seemed to be an event we'd be silly to miss,” Ebony replied.

Falla nodded, ”Indeed, The Rouke Island Auction is a World-Class Auction. Only those on the top teir will truly know what some of the items are for sale are, mostly because they have ears and eyes everywhere. The rest of us can only rely on rumours”.

”Any interesting rumours around this year's auction?” asked Rassa.

”None that will surprise you, I think,” Falla replied, ”A few Vanguard, some charms, a few Evanine Crystal Mines”.

Rassa's eyes narrowed, ”If the Evanine crystals are just beginning to become so popular, why sell them?”
