Anatole was completely out of his element, surprised, and it showed.
He grunted, eyes rolling around to lock on the Romancer's face while she spoke. His mouth, still hanging openin panicsnapped shut, formed a line, and he nodded.
"That sounds like a plan," he said - a little to loudly. And again, he missed that as well.
He bobbed his head in the direction of the rapidly disappearing trio and their cart.
Shrugging out of the embrace as best he can, Anatole moves forward.
"I'm curious. Looking to see whats on offer. Maybe I'll make a trade; maybe I won't. Who knows? For my toll I'll pay in Glamour and, word is my bond, I will not shed blood atop the Great Spider."
He moved politely to one side so that Angel had the space to perform.
And with all being well, the dwarf will attempt to hustle his fellow Freeholders to the lift before the mysterious trio vanish into the crowd.

While the Succubus' words are whisper soft and unheard by the crowd her companions seem to do the opposite, drawing attention the Dwarf's loud agreement. And the Treasured's performance, the Winter draws all eyes. Loud voices, raise up, some commenting on whatever the Lost's 'plan' was, others of the Wyrd enhanced voice of the Fairest.
As all the attention is drawn to the Sacramento Lost, a trio a small, large eared hobs dancing (badly) around as the Angel sings, shimmying and sashaying over towards them, they have trays held in their clawed grips, thick strips of leather hold the trays tight to their bodies.
"Fresh fruits! Oh! Tasty fruuuuuuits!" "No! See me! See me! I have bobbles! Ironside Bobbles!" "Oi! Oi! Kababs! Wolf an' stake an' fish!"
The hobs, shout out, thrusting their trays into the eye line of the Lost.
From the booth ahead, the hob there glares, spitting out; "If I haffa shout a third time, ya get outta da fooking line!"
"NEXT!"
Singing is a Social action, but if Angel was to dance as well, then they'd need to take the negative for that one.

Glancing at Angel's performance, they had only spoken briefly before and it was clear that they were very different and would have a hard time finding common ground.
Hurrying up to enter.
"Glamour shall be my toll and I shall inflict no harm upon another nor shed anyone else's blood upon the great spider."
Hurrying along with the dwarf making all in her effort to catch the lift so he wouldn't have to wait.
Looking over the dwarf whilst moving towards the lift, trying to get away from the hobs, ignore them and hold her group together, she was always a little bit afraid when in the hedge so having allies around was very reassuring and the dwarf seemed ready to make a stand should it be needed.
"Say dear friend, I have this amazing hair care treatment product from Taiwan that I believe would do wonders to keep your beard soft if that would be of interest?"
Trying to make their conversation ordinary and boring for anyone around them, they already had far to many eyes upon them and whilst that may be of little concern around humans most of the time so was this not a place where you could know the intentions of anyone around you.

Angel basks in the glow of attention offering all a friendly wave and an apologetic decline at the offer of goods, as long legs step forward and the angel pays the toll.
"No violence upon the Spider's back," the musical voice softly offered to the attendent.
They takes a position on the cart opposite their fellow lost. Angel beams a wide, innocent smile to the elementals. "Lovely friends, are you bringing something special to the bazaar?"

The Hob grunts, blocking Angel's way, while allowing for Yamiyo to pass, "Glamour!" he grunts, eyes hard. Titters, and whispers, explode around about the Ice Sculpture who thought not to pay the toll...

Anatole pulled up again, surprised by the offer.
He blinked.
"Um. Sure. Yeah."
And then his visage turned stern and businesslike once more.
Do we make the lift Saber Sloth

They allow the Spring through without issue, the Winter they had to demand their tithe, and for the Autumn, they smirk. Snickering as hobs are wont.
"Yo! Pretty lady!" Red waves wildly with delight, keeping the lift open for Yamiyo, though the rearguard Yellow, glowers as the red flame Elemental as he and his twin in cool toned flames, try to get the hobgoblin with his great hands on the rope to pull them up to wait for Angel who's held back long enough for the Fairest to be impressed upon the importance of Market Rules.
Through guile and bribery the lift stays long enough for all three of the Sacramento Lost.
When each of the three are on the platform that makes the lift, they see the cart, secured with silver silk. The Elemental Trio holding fast to their cart, offer a bit of the spider silk to the Sacramento Lost, as the delicate looking gate is closed against a fencing that looks too small and fine to truly protects against falls/ Then the giant hobs standing either side of the platform come to attention. Their meaty fists, grab the silken threads that make the rope and begin to pull.
The lift shoots up like a light, up and up and up!
Around them the chitinous legs rush passed, going from the dim brown-black that they has seen at the bottom surrounded by the white webbed hedgestuff, to deep jewel tones, shinning in the light, above the clouds.
The left comes to an abrupt stop, jostling all on the platform, the hobs cease their movement, as quickly as they had began it.
Red, Blue and Yellow quickly set to work, taking the silken cords off from their cart, leaving it to the hobs while they manoeuvre their way off the lift, sliding into the riot of colour and movement with nary a pause. They had been here before and had obvious trading to do.
To the Sacramento Lost they see an ocean of colour, silken tents, and canopies. Noise coming from all directions, merchant hawking their goods, and the persistent sounds those wheedling, and those arguing over price. If they hadn't known where they were, if they couldn't look down and see the exoskeleton they might have forgotten they were atop a Great Spider.
The Elemental Trio are soon swallowed up by the crowd, the Sacramento Lost can see the flames of Red and Blue's hair, but soon, they might loose them...
Perception my lovelies!

Mantle (spring)Rushing over to the lift, sighing a breath of relief, looking over at the kind elemental.
"Thank you good sir I really appreciate you holding the lift for me."
A warm gentle smile towards him, a quick glance towards his companions.
Looking over the spidersilk whilst hearing one of the many old tales of grimms she enjoyed reading ohh so much, choosing not to accept any gifts only letting her eyes view it.
Viewing their carriage and gently flirting with the man named Red, no intention to go deep only aiming to make sure he would remember her face later on.
Looking over the sights as the lift goes up, the hedge never ceased to surprise her, it always had something unexpected to show and even things that normally seemed scary had a tendency to bring beauty with them.
Losing her balance as the lift stops, falling against the man named Red, shyli smiling as her final means to make sure he would remember her, hopefully in a positive manner.
Looking over the market place, her eyes glistening like stars, the scent of newly blossomed roses softly dancing around her, softly speaking towards the dwarf.
"Noble barkeep would you kindly allow me to accompany you for the trip? It would feel so much safer to be around someone I recognize?"
Her eyes mostly focused on taking the atmosphere in.
