But the path the group follows seems to be bereft of smithies, and the Great Souk is so large that they just may be in the wrong area. He watches the auction along with the others with great interest as the astounding beast looks like it would make a better pack animal than any mule or horse could ever become. In between the bidding he hears a sound that brings his head around quickly. The *thunk* of an axe hitting wood draws him towards a large Calishite in the local garb. He holds an axe of obvious dwarven make (slightly bloody) in one hand and a thin spiral of horn in the other.[ATTACH]88317[/ATTACH] "Al-mi'raj for sell! Get your Al-mi'raj horn here!" he cries holding the horn aloft. Dellrak's eyes go from the horn to the axe and back one more time, before the dwarf wonders what kind of creature produced the unicorn like horn. The gruff dwarf's eyes widen at the small furry rabbit lying on a wooded block, its lifeless eyes staring back, a small bloody circle in the center of its forehead."Ah, Master Dwarf, interested in the pelt? Softess in all the Realms." the fat human says grabbing the creature by the ears and lifting the carcass close enough to touch. "Your kind have little use for the horn powder as it is said to be a great remedy for an poison that may ail you. But the pelt is good and the meat when roasted crisp is divine""You...you," Dellrak gets himself visibly under control. "Your using that axe as a butcher knife?!" Turning his face away from the merchant, for fear he might punch that smugness in the nose, he sees another Al-mi'raj alive in a small cage. A deep sigh escapes the dwarf as he loses himself in the sad eyes of the scared creature."How much for that one?" he asks throwing a thumb over his shoulder at the cage."Umm..." thrown of by the offer the merchant stumbles for a price. "It is my last one. Say ten golden lions.?" ,he answers knowing a dwarf will haggle down to the copper."Make it twenty," the dwarf counters, stunning the man. "I'll pay half now and the other when I take delivery. And since you won't be needing this again..." he adds swiping the axe from the merchants hands. "... I'll take it as collateral, towards my purchase."Still stunned as he counts Dellrak's coins, the dwarf turns to add as he walks away, the axe causally over one shoulder. "If anything happens to my bunny until I have had the chance to collect him, your going to lose your horn, Master Merchant."Turning back he notices the others watching and holding in their smiles. "Wha-? Eyes needed an axe," his face slightly a blush.[sblock=Al-mi'raj][ATTACH]88319[/ATTACH][/sblock]</blockquote>
