The Blessing Feast (2 of 3)

Defi was able to source silver-blue carp bones and crab shells for the slimes with promises that the three elders would visit the Garge homestead when the dawn market was done.

Walking the market was nearly habit by now and, despite the fact that he had to be back at the homestead, his feet still led him lazily through the throng after he stowed the containers on the scow. 

The dawn market did not have fixed sellers or stalls, unlike the weekly fair. Different things could be sold everyday, outside the zealously-guarded spots that the regular sellers staked out.

Even the paths between the masses of hawkers shifted from day to day.
