A Southern Elf walked into the shop. A Southern Man greeted him,
"A glorious day, for a mighty warrior returns at long last!"
Excess praise often did naught but make the humble Samad feel nervous, but he was rather impressed that this man he had only spoken to once or twice remembered him all the same, so he brushed it off. He desperately tried to remember the proprioter's name, but he was unable, so he looked at the plaque before replying.
"Esseiyyid Almar Ben Shawari, I have an affliction, that I was hoping you could help me with," He began,
"You see, I am plagued with having too much money, and nothing to do with it!"
Almar laughed boisterously,
"Ah Ha! Well my friend, I may have just the cure for your ills!"
The shop owner reached over to a rack where sat a number of belts. Choosing carefully, he pulled one off the end and held it before him,
"If ill is what you are than this will make you as fit and hearty as a god, though..." His face darkened slightly,
"...Perhaps as some more than others."
Samad certainly knew better than others that of which Almar Ben Shawari spoke, and nodded,
"Aye, that would certainly be of great use, so how much are you looking for it?"
"5000 ducat, crowns, or equivalent currency."
"I think not," Samad replied,
"3000 is a more accurate number."
They haggled back and forth for a while until they finally reached the obvious middle ground of 4000,
"And a magic stick of wood that will knit any wound!"
"I already have a wand such as that," Samad revealed, pulling out the rod of carved bone. Almar simply looked at it, before pointing out,
"Ah, but this one is far fresher than that one, and will certainly last longer. Much better for long journeys, no?"
Samad could not dispute that.
