"Am I hearing ya right? Just two silver?!" Minerva asked, her eyes widening in disbelief. Welders selling their creations for cheap wasn't that much of rarity, but a munificent dwarf was practically unheard of. She had assumed his kind was nothing more than a bunch of gold hungry craftsman. A low laugh escaped her. She had come in fully prepared to spend an arm and a leg just to get a decent blade. It looked like her stash of gold would be spent on more meaningful things later today, like the top shelf drinks from the local tavern. She combed through her pockets with a smile on her face and grabbed the last of her spare change. A pair of silver coins were placed onto the table along with the pocket lint that covered them. "This is mighty generous of ya, hun. In fact ya just made my day."
She sat idle with her arms crossed while the welder worked, her gaze slowly drifting from one side of the cluttered tent to the other. The words the dwarf spoke seemed distant, but her eyes did briefly flick over to him at the mention of killing elves. She herself never had the pleasure of killing a full blooded elf, whether they were a bad seed or otherwise. Her interest in the old dwarf grew sightly. Perhaps his past experiences could prove useful to her future. Her inquiries could wait for a later time. She had other matters to attend, although she'd probably find herself in this tent again if the welder's weapons were as good as they looked.
Minerva seemed to not notice when the two men finally took their leave. Her eyes were fixated on the fire her soon-to-be sword was forged in. The silence within the tent stretched on, and her patience stretched thinner. Yet she said not a word. This was partially due to her not wanting to disturb him while he worked. Ah fuck it. Resisting the urge to tap her foot, Minerva broke the silence by clearing her throat. If small talk was going to pass the time, no matter how briefly, so be it.
"So why's someone like ya'self in Vahlana? I thought ya kin preferred mountains to forest." It was a question she was genuinely curious about.
