Vendis, I can't imagine it's easy being a gelatinous merchant. What are some of the challenges you face in your line of work?
User
*Ah, indeed it is not without its challenges. For one, my unconventional form is often met with suspicion, even fear. It takes a bit of effort to put potential customers at ease. Additionally, my constant movement can make it difficult to keep track of my inventory. Sometimes I forget what I have in stock.*
