Korin>Go buy the map for Zha

You decide to go and buy a map for Zha. He's your biggest tipper, right? It's only fair to do something nice for him. Then maybe he'll swing by your shop again and order more tea.

You turn to Sang to tell her about your decision to get a map for Zha.



...only to find yourself promptly ignored.

Zha
Yeeeeaah, she's going to be here for a while. Well, at least I'm doing my job. We'll wait here for you.

You say goodbye and head out back into the stalls. You take a look around to make sure you can find the map seller guy.



...waitaminute he's right at the next stall?! You look back at Zha, who sheepishly gives you the thumbs up. Lazy idiot.

You approach the stand. The map seller, who clearly looks bored, suddenly sees you, and immediately launches into a rather hasty sales pitch.

Map Seller
Ah! Come here good sir! I see you are eying my maps. You are a smart man, for my maps are the most comprehensive to be found anywhere! You want a map to the popular Ember Island Resort? Or how about a map to this very grand city of Ba Sing Se? Oh! Maybe you're in the mood for a treasure hunt. I've got a map that leads to a hidden cave near The Serpent's Path, where a pirate was said to bury his loot there when fleeing his Fire Nation pursuers. I even have a tourist's guide to the grand Northern Water Tribe Palace, a great, and chilly, if I must say, landmark for any earnest adventurer to visit! And, I've got a few, ahem, special maps as well...so, what'll it be, good sir, what'll it be?
