A new shop in town just opened up in Port Ffirst. Fliers for this new shop are posted all around the area.
Appley Ever After is written in large red letters on a sign outside the front of the building above the door to the shop. Looking at the shop, there are two tables on either side of the door with mountains of apples in baskets on each table. The shop has a very sweet and humble appearance to it. As you walk in you can't help but get a scent of apples in the air. When one would walk into the shop, they are immediately greeted by a cheerful red skinned Tiefling. This is the owner Celina Zabinski, who is beaming from ear to ear and welcomes everyone with a very friendly manner. There are baskets on a counter filled with fresh apples grouped by colour. A few baskets full of just red apples and other baskets full of just green apples. "Welcome dear friend to Appley Ever After, so what type of apples are you looking to purchase today?", says the frie ndly Tiefling smiling at you.

A fancily-dressed drow mage strides into the shop with cool confidence. "Excuse me, shopkeep?" he calls out. "May I have a look at your oddly-coloured apples?"

Celina looks at the person who just walked into her shop, she examines him intently and thinks to herself that this person could be a good fit. "Certainly sir, I can show you in the backroom!", she says and leads him to the back room in her shop.
While in the backroom Celina gets him to sit down on a chair. Smiling in his direction she pulls out a long parament rolled up which she unravels and holds in front of him. She then says "With my special apples... They aren't physical apples you can purchases. They are more.... services I offer. To VERY select people." and grins in his direction.
On the scroll it is written:
Special Apples Blue Apples = Gather information on a person, place or thing. Will get you information within a week.
Purple Apples = Are you planning a heist? Need a trusted lock pick expert to get in and out of places discreetly? This service is for service for you. We can crack nearly all non-magical locks. A weeks notice will be required.
Pink Apples = Want an item that isn’t perhaps... contractually yours? We can help with that. There will be a free assessment done initially to give best time frame on this and whether we can take on this job.
Express Service Do you need a specific apple package done within 48 hours? Our express service let’s you get you what you want quicker and you are bumped to top of the queue. Note this service will be charged 4x times the normal rate. (However, Express Service for Pink Apples will depend on complexity of job after assessment).
Home deliveries are available, otherwise you can come by the shop for collection at an agreed date and time with the owner.
"If you are interested in anything let me know and we can arrange something. As you might be aware discretion is key to my business, so I would appreciate you to not tell people who... would otherwise interfere in my operation.", she says again with a grin still on her face.

Jaezred blinks in surprise but quickly recollects his calm and scans the parchment, rubbing his chin. "Just so you know, I truly was looking for artisanal apples," he says matter-of-factly. "Nonetheless, this is a service I can appreciate, even though I have no need for it at the moment. I shall remember you when I require help. And worry not, I am as discreet as a man can be."

Celina is smiling pleased with this answer. She then says "Well my name is Celina Zabinski, owner of this shop. And we are an indeed an apple shop... so please, why don't you take an apple on the house. Let's say one for the road". She walks over and retrieves an apple basket that was hidden in the corner. She offers him a choice between red and green apples. "Something to remember this little interaction", and she winks and smiles at him. She then leads the man back to the entrance. As he is exiting the shop and walking by the other customers waiting patiently in line, she says kindly in his direction, "We do hope you come back soon". She smiles again and waves goodbye as he leaves. She then turns her attention to the next customer in line.
"Welcome to 'Appley Ever After'! Here, we do our VERY best to make all your apple dreams come TRUE and we most certainly will find that special apple for YOU! So... how can I help you?", she says with a warm welcoming smile.

A door opens and closes silently, the chimes above it giving a welcoming ping as Glint finds himself in the small shop. He looks around and smiles at seeing a familiar face. 'Celina! It's been awhile, hasn't it?' He asks with a charming grin. 'I found myself in Port Ffirst, went for a stroll, and came across your shop, incidentally! Apples, huh? Personally, I'm more a dates person myself...' He looks from one table containing apple baskets to another. 'But... well, I was wondering if you have anything special on sale?' He says and, lowering his voice, switches to cant. 'I'm looking for somebody surprisingly elusive and am currently exploring the different options to find them. Do you think you can help?'

Celina smiles when she sees Glint enter her shop and welcomes him. It had been a while since she saw him. When he starts speaking in Thieves Cant she grins widely. She knew there was something about this guy she liked. Celina smiles happily again and says “Oh I think we can find you just the perfect thing. How about I show you some of the special apples I have out back”. Celina leads the way out the back to the private area. She then pulls out a long parchment, which she unravels and holds in front of him. She allows him to read her services and then when it looks like he’s done reading, she asks “Is there anything there you like?”

Kelne's hanging around the front of the shop. She's been eyeing up the mountain of apples. She's wondering if she can extract a particularly tasty apple near the bottom of the pile. She's not sure of the odds of doing this successfully, but hey, she's a sneaky luck cleric.
