He sniffs.  "That is dog work.  I could get any apprentice to make such a thing for you, for a mere 10.  I would not touch it, myself.""So how long would it take you to make the robes for me?""If you want them immediately, and that would cost you much more, you understand, then I could have them done by tomorrow morning.  If you place it as just another order, it would take about a week... I am busy, after all.""Do you have anything basic that you would be able to have done with in a few hours?  Also, how long would it take to get the clothes for the armor?""Basic?"  He looks vaguely annoyed.  "I begin to suspect that you are in the wrong store.  If you want an old rag to cover your nudity, you can get it from most any dog who pretends to be a tailor.  If you want art, you come to me.""Okay, I was just publicly stripped by a mage and hand to walk through town NAKED and I came into your store thinking I could get something to wear until my friend is able to find me and you finish my clothes."Armando waves dismissively.  "This is not my problem.  If need be, you could perhaps borrow (he says this word with special distaste) something from my apprentice, here (he gestures towards a young woman who is busily sewing at some minor piece of clothing), to cover yourself as you wait here... but no amount of gold will convince me to demean my talent and make such filth as the dogs here make.  If you want rags, then leave!  Go elsewhere, for you will not get such a thing here!  If you want true craftsmanship, then you will have to wait, for such a thing does not come quickly."</blockquote>
