As I come to this startling realization, I decide it is best to leave. I approach my entrance point to the tent and as I move aside the tent curtains, there is the merchant. She had circled around behind the tent where I entered and waited there. But how did she know, I was so quiet? Regardless, I bolt through the front only to run into two very intimidating men.

They grab me by each arm and restrain me, the merchant emerges from the tent and I'm at her mercy. The merchant snaps her fingers and the two men let me go. As I sit there, she slowly circles around me, like a wolf circling it's prey. "What is she doing? Is she eyeing me up or something?" These thoughts raced through my mind. Suddenly she says, "Why were you stealing from me?!"

I explain that I was only searching for food and I had no intention of taking anything else. After I finish my explanation, the merchant grins at me. "What say you work for me? You travel with me and be my assistant? If you do, you'll never be hungry again and have a place to sleep, along with some other benefits. If not, I'll let the big guys take you to the authorities for thievery. What do you say?" She asked confidently.

There was not choice, I took the offer. As we left the town several days later, the merchant dropped her disguise and revealed that she is a Gyoubo Danuki.
