A man, smoking something, greeted her with a smile. Isabella returned it with one of her, coyness plain in her bi-colored eyes. She jerked her hips a bit, sticking them out some more. Men liked curves and she had them to work them. Her hands were tight on the rein and Ducky bobbed forward with the precious cargo on her back. Isabella walked a few paces forward, letting her hips swing in a slightly more exaggerated way, emphasized by the light clinging of the chain belt around her waist. The skirt, too, was tightly hugging her hips before spreading out to hide her well built legs. Her smile was coy, and her gaze playful. Let him think whatever he liked; she was ready for anything.
"Yes, of course," she said sweetly, secretly smug inside. Her scent was only ever faintly of Salsola. Perhaps he'd think she had passed by too closely or even stayed with a friend. Anything, so long as she did not reek of her home and give away all. Regardless, she gave more room for her mare to move, lengthening the reins in her palm. She gestured toward the bags on the mare's back, flicking open the closest bag. It had only two bottles of the pitch, the tobacco, and the small jar of rose oil. "I bring some things I'd like to trade. Would you show me what you offer, sir?" she said with her French accented tones, letting the false sweetness drip off her tongue with a liar's practiced skill.
