pu-erh for the power hungry

A nudge from Barnabas brought Hazel back to the present. She opened her eyes - a useless gesture - and turned her attention towards the figure. The little witch was quiet for several moments as her companion described the wares and the figure to her. When he was done she dipped her head in thanks to the robed figure. "A gracious opportunity, my lord." Her attention turned to her companion. Hazel held out a paw. "Barnabas...?" Her companion grabbed her paw and guided it over the wares. She didn't touch them directly; opting instead to get a feel for the energy they projected. Once she was satisfied, Hazel took her paw back and sat down in front of the table to think. She considered all that was there, and then asked, "do you deal in any other wares? I ask not because I find what you have here unacceptable, but out of humble curiosity as someone who recognizes the power you possess."
