Fell had not been wrong that the paths of the Court would lead them to the market. While they had found the public paths that were opened to most visitors, they quickly ended up leaving them. The wind itself seemed to blow at the ribbon on Cass's wrist and, if anything, was part of what lead them to where they needed to be.
Eventually there were many sounds heard, not just words but animal noises and calls and everything in between. As they turned down a path, the stones started to crack and float up in the air. Jeremiah raised an eyebrow but motioned to head up them. There were infinite places within this world it seemed and soon they were standing at what was clearly a floating market. The earth was beneath them, though they were definitely no longer on the ground, and stalls were set up everywhere.
All manner of being was around, not all remotely human looking at all.
"Well," Jeremiah said slowly, glancing around (they had been spared their Court attire once gone from the Court). "I suppose if we are going to find something of use, this is an excellent place to start."

"Well I wish our combined desires would make this thing and we'd be good to go," Cass said with a small laugh. Yeah, because life would be that easy on them. Still, she stood, waiting on Jeremiah to decide how they were going to go about this market.
"Okay, well, I'll take," she pointed to the side opposite of where Jeremiah was looking, "this side then." Without waiting, she went to the nearest stall, manned by a strange, hiss-y creature with a squirming face that she couldn't quite focus on enough to actually tell what it looked like. It was surreal. She'd read that description before, but it was weird to see in person.
She loved it. Inappropriately, she took a picture on her phone (for the ongoing 'Cid Album'). She quietly looked over their wares, then moved on.
Cass was roughly three stalls down her row before she shouted, "HEY JER," and then turned around holding up a jar of bees with a stupid s**t-eating grin on her face. She shook it once and the bees inside buzzed angrily. "BEES," it wasn't a helpful suggestion, simply a shouted observation. The creature manning the stall reached to take the jar from her, but only succeeded in knocking it from her hands. It hit the corner of the table and shattered.
Bees went everywhere.
Cassandra also went everywhere.
azuredreams Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

"We've got to get the items needed to make it first," Jeremiah laughed himself, nudging her lightly as he leaned on his cane. He nodded as she went off, finding himself at what looked like a stall ran by a group of ... pixies.
At least, if pixies were made of crystal and had leaf wings. They spoke quickly, in a high-pitched whistle that he was able to understand (but not sure how). At their stall was several interesting items, most of seemed to be things contained in bottles. One of them they claimed was the first breath ever released into the world which he seriously doubted but was not going to call them on.
Jeremiah looked up sharply as he heard Cass call out to him and watched in a strange sort of horrific fixation as the jar broke and bees were suddenly everywhere. He was there in a flash, next to Cassandra and gripping onto her arm as he tried to bubble a barrier around the bees.
It'd take a moment but he'd have the bees gathered up for the owner. "It's not a bad suggestion, to be honest," he said finally, "because they're beings that live in the air."

"Sure, sure," Cass agreed, still hesitant about the whole 'hey, living creatures in a thing' deal, but she'd fuss that more later. She only needed a few of them (however many she'd released...was way more than any bees she wanted to have on her person). Communication was surprisingly uneasy with a being that she really couldn't make out. It was like their presence was trying very hard to take on a form her brain could actually process, but it was also holding bees.
"What do you want for the uh...bees?" she asked, "Like maybe 10 of them?" It made a noise - a very squishy, slimy noise, and Cass couldn't help but wonder how that translated into anything understandable in her head. "Uhh, okay, I uhmm.." Cass began to pull out the contents of her pockets. Paper, paper, half a dog treat, her keyring.....Man, when had she gotten so many keys? The being reached out for the keyring and she instinctively pulled it back to her.
The being spoke again.
"A key to what? I...dunno, what's it look like?" she asked and it produced a large box. There was distinctly a lock on the front of it. Cass picked up the ring, barely sliding a finger into the ring before an old key carved out of the same sort of metal made itself prominent. When had she gotten that? She slid the key off the ring and offered it up to the creature.
Cass just looked more confused as apparently that key opened the container. But if it just wanted a key she hadn't even known she'd had in exchange for 10 bees...she was OK with that. Still, the confusion remained on her face as she made her way back over to Jeremiah.
"I...I just..." she was still baffling over her key ring. Cass had never had enough keys on her ring to even know that they were happening. "I have so many keys." Also she had bees.
Azuredreams Whoops, Cass's Dreamer and Riser power both just made themselves obvious to Cass at the same time for the first time ever. XDD

"Mm, remind me to give you a key to the house when we get back to Ashdown." House as in the place in which she took over the kitchen sometimes. "Just to add to the collection."
Did it say something that Cass had a space in the Mercer fridge? Who knew.
"Seems like a good trade then. You got the bees that we want, it got the key that it needed." Then his lips twitched at the mention of an incensor full of bees. "Admittedly, I am thinking the same thing."
Was it potentially a little mischievous? Absolutely. Jeremiah gestured to the incensor and spoke, not realizing that he was making the same noises the little lizard creature was making as he did so.
Apparently he was holding a conversation and, soon enough, a notebook of his dropped into hand. Jeremiah was writing something down a moment later, what looked like a magical array, and offering it out to the little creature.
It studied his work, head bobbing, and then pushed the incensor forward.
"Well, that takes care of that ..." The incensor was tucked under his arm. Jeremiah inclined his head towards another stall. "Let's look at that one over there? There's a perpetual breeze coming from it."

A smile, a far too amused wry one, was hidden behind a hand for a moment at the tone and implied reference. "We're not naming it Audrey II," said Jeremiah.
Though he was definitely impressed at what the breezy something-or-other was able to do. Was it moss? Was it vines? Who knew, it seemed to be a bit of everything but it also produced air which was definitely a thing they wanted.
His attention turned to the golem-looking creature who, instead of gesturing for some kind of payment, simply made the item drop into Cass's arms.
Then they would both hear a faint, distant voice in their minds. To help Lord Tailormercer.
Jeremiah bowed, a grateful nod given. He did not skip a beat at the oddness of the name given. "Your kindness is appreciated and will not be forgotten."
He looked to Cass then, eyebrows raised at their small hoard of items. "We should be able to work with what we have now."
Which meant it was time to head back to Court.
