Amy examined the paintings with an expert's eye. She may not know what effort was put into the art, or how a real artist would value it. What she did know was what would sell. The picture of the beach was quite nice. She pulled it out and added it to her side of things. Eying the other art pieces was more difficult. The one at the top of a cliff was certainly the best, but it wouldn't sell well at all. No, the one peering out through the cave was better, and she added another that looked through a forest.
These paintings will do. Delicately she picked up the music box. Holding it up she wound it. Her breath was held in anticipation. Sure enough, soft clear notes filled the clearing. Amy's eyes sparkled with wonder. It was so beautiful, and so rare. She was lucky that he hadn't demanded a higher price for it. Not that she was going to inform him of exactly how valuable it was. Amy was honest in her trade, and always gave exactly what was asked of her. That didn't mean she didn't overcharge people. It just meant that it was difficult to hold her to blame.
Tail wagging Amy looked over at the wolf. You certainly have some skill painting. I suggest you continue. The male probably didn't need her encouragement, but she gave it anyways. She was that glad of the trade. Sitting down on the ground Amy glanced over at him. Have you been here long? Amy was in no hurry. She had time to sit and visit. It would keep her from growing bored.
