*2 no 1 in perticuler*

sharp as the daggers he sells and twice as quick!

*to Mystrunner*

actually, I have come here 4 a special perpose,

*slings a sable wraped bundle from his back roughly 2' in length and 6" in diameter. it os obvoiusly special, that is appearent in the carefull revrence with which it is being handled*

how R µ at working metal?

*Picks up the blade and examines the edge.*


... better than some, but not spectacular. What do you need done?

I some modifications made on these dirks.

*pulls aside cloak to reveal the second of a duo*

My brothers have carried me through everything, but they R getting old. µ might have noticed that 1 has a crack in the hilt, it was made of ibex horn, wonderfull stuff until it takes a blow!

For starters i'd like, of corse, new hilts--pistal grips--griphen claw with silver scrollwork, I'd also like µ 2 take about 8 or 9" off the overall length of the blades.

µ were very highly spoken of, so I have every confidence in µ'r work.

*piping up* He's the best.

*to Mysty* You treat everyone well, but I ought to tell you Tu Gifalis is a close personal friend of mine.

*Nods.*

A slight discount would be in order, then... comes to about 4 Andoran weight gold marks, or cash equivilent. It'll take a while, maybe a week or so to scrounge up the appropriate materials.

*Looks at the blades, thoughtfully.*

...Tell you what, I'll throw in a re-balancing and matte-black coating for night work for free. They'll trow better, and won't glint in the dark. Feel free to roam around the city a bit, while you wait.

Thanks miss shoes

*turns back 2 Mystrunner and pulls a lether case from inside tunic*

This should ease µ'r search 4 suplies,

*withdraws a gryphen's claw, puts it back and hands the case 2 Mystrunner*

As 4 payment, I have no wealth 2 speak of. I will, however, perform NE and all tasks µ might have in mind until µ deem the price atoned. if I should not return, feel free 2 keep my brothers, I only ask that they go 2 a worthy keeper.

*Nods.*

That will do well. I may have a few errands...

*Takes the case, blades, and materials, and walks to the back room.*

*turns back 2 YS*

So, what's a bad place like this doin' in a nice girl like µ?
...I mean, what's a bad girl...er...um...How R µ doing?

*Myst's telephone rings, the voice on the other end says: I was wondering if you ever check your other store?*

*Picks up phone.*

Not often, but I will.

That wasn't a pickup line was it, Gifalis? Because, I belong to only one man around the Hootoo Galaxy... and he is... um... protective? of his possessions.

*Leans back out to wink in a manner that isn't threatening at all (unless you read into it a bit,) and gets to work.*

Um......hehe...

*edging alond the wall toward the door*

Of corse not...I...um...I would never throw a pickup line at µ, don't get me wrong...µ just make me nervous, I dunno, I think it's µ'r long history of unexplanable random acts of violence.

*opens door 2 make an escape and is thrown out of concentration by the jingling of a small silver bell*

*swears under breath*

Does NE 1 want a small silver bell?

*ducks out the door and closes it as 3 bolts pierce it and extend another inch beyond*

*Glances at Y-S.*

You've got some strange friends... nice, but strange...

*Gets back to work.*

*whispers in Mysty's ear* Mela nin, Myst...

Yeah, Giffy's an odd duck. But to be completely fair... I'm not sure if he was talking about my acts of violence in the BoE or IRL!

*Mystrunner walks out of the back with the two daggers.*

There we go... new handles, silver scrollwork, in the classic elven whorl design, and sharpening and balance. Just have to wait for him to get back.

In the meantime... ?

Of course, mela en coiamin...

*that oh so annoying silver bell rings as the fron door opens*

peice of crap bell!!

*notices the pg-13 activity, grabs bell, ducks back out*

|

*walks in with a bit more confidence (it HAS been 3 hours!)*

I heard my brothers might ß rdy 4 pik up.

*nods hello 2 YS*

Also, some1 told me about µ'r mag. daggers, I was wondering if µ had NE glass swords, I'd ß verry intrested...
