[QUOTE="Systole, post: 5981306, member: 93930"] Sylla opens the door and enters, followed by her eidolon. [COLOR=dimgray]"I'm here for my items,"[/COLOR] she says. Nervously, the clerk fetches an expertly crafted darkwood bow and several items wrapped in paper. A sheen of perspiration appears on his forehead as Sylla begins casually testing the pull of the bow. By the time she's satisfied with the heft and aim, several minutes later, the clerk is a nervous wreck. As she begins unwrapping the packages, the clerk blurts out, [COLOR=deepskyblue]"Perhaps you'd just take them now?"[/COLOR] Sylla looks at him icily. [COLOR=dimgray]"I will be sure of the fit before I leave."[/COLOR] The clerk wipes his forehead. [COLOR=deepskyblue]"And then we'll re-package them, so that no one has to see you leaving here with them, yes?"[/COLOR] Sylla pulls on one beautiful black dragonhide boot and then the other. She takes a few steps to test the fit and nods. With a half of a cruel smile, she says, [COLOR=dimgray]"Workmanship of this quality? No. I will be wearing these out."[/COLOR] The clerk trembles. [COLOR=deepskyblue]"But you'll take the remainder of the, uh, 'lizard skin'?"[/COLOR] Sylla finishes putting on the belt, bracers, and cestus. She takes a pouch from her pack and spills dozens of dragon teeth onto the counter. [COLOR=dimgray]"If there is remaining leather, my companion wants a collar. Lizard teeth and lizard skin."[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]"Uh, boss? I sort of changed my mind about the collar. I don't think I want it any more,"[/COLOR] Boots says.
