The hooded figure responded coldly, "If money can settle it, I already said I'll pay. You get excited too easily." 
"Certainly." Sakura had her arms folded, glaring at the two. "But that worked to your advantage this afternoon didn't it?" 
The man in the cloak turned away, "I must thank you, please this way," 
Sakura was ready to decline, but Sinbad interjected, unfortunately, it looked like he was faster than her when it came to running his mouth. "We'd be delighted."

Bustling loud voices, with occasional drunk comments and the smoky smell of meat and spice, made for a comfortable setting. An Inn, clearly with a good reputation as all of the guests were in pristine condition, their clothes good quality, shoes clean and quite cheerful. It was different from the places Sakura had been to in the town before Imuchakk. There had been nothing but sand in your shoes, and the taste of sand in your mouth. 
"My name is Harun, I'm a merchant from Balbadd." The cloaked male who introduced himself to the teens once they arrived, had revealed to be an older man, about two decades ahead of Sinbad and Sakura. His hair was long and such a bright blonde that it would outshine Naruto's. He knew he was charming because he hadn't stopped smiling at the two. If Sakura hadn't remembered how he tricked them out of their merchandise, she might have been more appreciative of his hospitality. Presently her best course of action was to keep quiet. 
"Balbadd, that's the trading center only second to Reim," 
"That's right, if you're doing business, you should come and visit someday," 
"It would be my pleasure, please show me around when I go," 
Sinbad and Harun had taken to chatting like old friends for a while since arriving, their food was almost settled but they had not quieted and kept pouring drinks into their mugs. While Sakura had taken to quietly nibbling on what was left on her plate trying to keep any discomfort at bay. She would have left if there was anywhere to go and if she believed Sinbad wouldn't follow her.
Harun's voice turned hard then, "I didn't think I would meet you two again," 
"You mean after you bought all the goods and sold them for more than double the profit?" Sakura chided. 
"A youngster selling foreign rarities accompanied by Imuchakk was surprising but falling for the reseller's trick was a letdown. You've let someone else fix the price and value for you, that's a far greater loss than you realize." 
Sinbad wasn't hostile despite this obvious jab, "Yes, but that's only because we lack experience. In other words, I lost to you in battle as a fellow trader,"
"Besides, if we were to somehow get permission to sell our goods here in the time that it takes to restock, then we'll be able to sell at the same rates you've set for us or even higher since eventually, the stock you have will run out." 
"That's very true young lady, but that will only happen if you can get permission to sell the products here." Harun smiled, leaning on his hands, "Tell me, how were you able to coax the great Rametoto to trade with Imuchakk?" 
Sakura understood the intentions now behind Sinbad and Harun's welcoming demeanor, they were trying to get something from one another. Sinbad wanted the knowledge of what it would take to trade with Reim and Harun, the person who took all their merchandise would be able to provide a clear path if he was able to get him to talk. On the other hand, it was clear that Harun wanted something from Sinbad. If he realized this, he wouldn't be able to turn things to his advantage completely.
