[Sultros Blades] Fire and Water {Ronan}

"For a double bladed dagger it's not uncommon to charge eight gold pieces," she replied with a shrug. Since he didn't specify much other than the size of the weapon she assumed it would be a standard double blade. Realizing he was thinking of something even simpler she followed her statement with:

"But for six silver I can give you a basic knife for defense. Forgive my assumption. We get enough warrior-type and soldierly patrons that I am always inclined to think folk want the deadliest nastiest weapons out there."

She offered him an apologetic smile, hoping she hadn't lost his business.

"As for the sword," she paused a tick to consider the blade, biting her lower lip in thought. "Three days. Does that suit your master?"

Ronan smiled as the woman explained her reason for her pricing. This time, the smile did reach his eyes and facial features. "Six silver Mizas? That sounds good. I wasn't looking for the blade of blades. My apologies for not going into more detail. I'm simply looking for a small weapon that I can use to practice some throwing with. And for defense if it is really necessary." At least she knew how to keep her customers. Unlike some of the less... refined blacksmiths out there. Quite interesting.

Ronan shrugged at the woman as she told him how long it would take. He didn't really care how long it would take, since he got paid anyway, no matter what. "I'm sure it'll suit him. It's not like he has much of a choice, right?" Ronan obviously didn't care much about the time it would take the blacksmith woman to fix the blade. Ronan patted himself once again, looking for something, as he spoke to the woman once more. "So... Six silver Mizas for the knife and... how much was the sword again?" An accurate account of the expenses was quite necessary here, since the owner of the sword would be after every copper Miza that Ronan could save out of this deal.

Hadyn canted her head to his response, a smile on her lips. She was glad he didn't take her mistake personally. She'd have to remember that in the future. Brushing errant strands behind her ear, the young blacksmith waited til he finished speaking, realizing she hadn't quoted him for the broken sword.

"Thirty gold is the standard price for a broad sword. Since I'll be needing to refix the blade to the already-made hilt I'll do it for twenty-five."

Thin eyebrows raised over dark eyes as she waited for him to consider the price. Hopefully his master had the coin. The other blacksmiths in the shop would not likely allow her flexibility with an item like this. A dagger, sure. But to fix a sword would cost, no matter where you took your business.

Rona's response to the mentioned price was quick. "Twenty five golden Mizas? Sounds just fine. I leave the fifteen golden mizas with the purse here and I will pay you the rest on collection of the sword? Deal? Oh, and this is for the dagger." Ronan ended his patting in a rather unusual place. His left hand was behind his back, somewhere near his waist and his right hand was between his shoulderblades, both hands were under his shirt.

With a little grunting, Ronan managed to pull out two separate, much smaller purses, both without any detail or design. He poured the contents of one in the palm of his hand and counted five silver mizas. Digging into the other purse he pulled out another one to complete the price. "So I come back in three days for the sword? How long will the dagger take?" Ronan hoped he could collect both at the same time, but knowing his luck, that would probably not be the case. "Any more questions or anything you need from me?' Ronan made sure to ask before excusing himself as he walked to the door. With a half nod half bow towards the woman, Ronan went back out into the cold. He would return in three days.

His long legs and trained muscles carried him through the cold air outside as he ran back, retracing his steps from earlier as he moved back to the delivery service that would pay him for bringing the goods to the blacksmith, a meager 5 copper miza, and from there to the merchant to inform him of the happenings. The man was obviously not happy with the price and everything but there was nothing he could do about it, as Ronan explained to him, claiming the -expert- blacksmith had told him so. What he didn't mention was that he had gotten a 5 off on the total price of the repair. Corvos was seeping through to Ronan after all these years. With a smile, Ronan accepted another 15 gold mizas from the merchant, of which he pocketed 5 for himself once he was out of sight. The other ten were stored away separately to pay for the rest of the repairs in three days time.
