Name: ~ Neculai Meaning: ~ Romanian ~ Victor of the people ~ Tribe: ~ Dark Kingdom/Colony: ~ Relationship Status: ~ Single Personality: ~ He is very personable, loves talking a mile a minute both to and at people. Because he is a merchant, and loves to talk, he uses it as a weapon in conversation, overriding those he wants to talk through and communicating beautifully with those he wants too. He loves the festivals, not only because of the wealth of B'alam it brings, but because he gets a chance to do what he loves, and that is talk. And talk, and talk. Nec is a bit of a character when he wants to be, entertaining to cubs and adults alike.

Won with this: Neculai stretched his wings out, wide and broad as he grinned at the B'alam who'd come to see him. It was the middle of the day, which was the only concession he would make for the merchant who'd come to see him. She was a Wind, this 'Sky Dancer', a gypsy name even though the girl was a part of the Tribe, but part of Clan Bayeux. She still wouldn't give him her real name, but it didn't matter since he was holding her to the Clan's honesty. She wasn't a thief. In fact, if the state of her wings was any indication, she was offended when he'd asked. They were puffed out as she shook her head. "No, I'm not like that. You have my word."
And if she didn't have a Rose tucked behind her ear to show for it, he probably wouldn't. Instead, he smiled at her and nodded, folding his wings down and regarding her with interest. He'd never bet any of the Winds before, and their structure was just so different from his own that it was fascinating. Though he was much more fond of leathery wings than feathered one. "Alright, then. What brings you to me 'Sky Dancer'?" Nec used her given name lightly, smiling. "I'm sure it's not nothing that brought you here, even though it looks like you don't have anything to trade."
She smiled sheepishly. "Not yet, I am just getting established as a merchant in the Clan, and I wanted to make all the connections I could before I started. It is easier trying to trade with those you know will trade."
He agreed with that and, honestly, had no problem trading with her as long as she kept true to her word and never traded stolen goods to him. He would find out. He had his ways. Or would have his ways. Smiling broadly, because this was an amusing little quandary. "So, you want my word you'll trade, even though your kind usually steal and you have nothing to show me?"
She puffed up again. It was kinda hilarious. "Yes. That is want I was hoping for. I don't need you word, just that you will take a look at the things I bring on behalf of the Clan and trade if you feel I have anything worth trading. I will never bring you anything stolen, because I will never steal. It is against what I believe in."
Neculai looked her over and believed her because, well, she wasn't lying. He could just tell. It was in the way she spoke, and the way she held herself. Still, a Wind that didn't steal. What a Marvel concept. He didn't want to give up the game just yet, though, because while she had come a long way to see him, he got up during the day for this meeting. Nec figured that was going to be something that was going to happen a lot, what with the rest of the B'alam he would trade with keeping a schedule opposite to his own, but he was alright with that. He didn't need a lot of sleep anyway. Instead of letting her leave, or giving his word that he would attempt to trade with her when in all actuality she would probably make a good partner, he led her over to his shop. "Tell me if there is anything you would like to buy." Then he had another, better idea. "Actually, I would rather you answered a question for me." He grinned. Poor people have it. Rich people need it. If you eat it you die. What is it?" He'd already given her the answer, in a roundabout sort of way.
