She does, like, tell them what it's for, she appreciates them being backstops for the orderliness of the market.

Well, it's the heart of Kenton. They aren't about to let someone show up and fuck it up for everyone.

Eefa is so very confused about all of this.

Does Eefa have any questions?

"Why'd you give them your money?"

"I benefited from something they did which I think they deserve to be paid for doing."

"But they already did it."

"They did, yes. Back home I lived off people paying me because they liked things I already did."

"If you didn't give them the money were they going to do something bad to you?"

"No, but I hope that if anything like this comes up again they'll remember that I want to be on friendly terms with them and they'll be more interested in helping me."

"You can give people money for their food." Possibly Pelape was not aware of this, somehow.

"Yes, but I'm getting food for my work at Elysium, I don't need to buy it here."

"But later you will still need food?"

"...yes, and Elysium will still need work done."

"... and you're still going to be there?"

"Unless I find another job which also pays me enough to live on, yes."

Eefa thinks about this for a bit and concludes that it makes sense as a way for other people to be.

"Okay."

"Where to next, Laithan?"

"We should check the request box and see if anyone specifically wants me." It turns out that two people who are positioned near each other have both submitted notices to the box asking for stalls that are far apart next time, which would be easy if one of them hadn't done this with four other people in the past. Their stall locations are written on their requests and so Laithan swings by to figure out if there's anything better to be done.

What do they sell?

The person who is on their fifth location sells various glass items, the other sells fabric.

Do they have specific complaints or just not get along?

Glass items guy apparently thinks that fabric guy is crowding out his stall with the fabrics, fabric guy thinks that glass items guy is being ridiculous and trying to blame someone else for their lack of customers.
