[b]“No, I’m just holding it like this because it’s comfortable,”[/b] he deadpanned with a scowl. If it weren’t for the sword being snatched from his grip at that very moment, he might have continued on. He might have been in a hurry, but he was always, even if it was reluctantly, willing to let someone appreciate his work. Elizabeth seemed more keen on examining the weapon down to every last detail rather than simply appreciating it, but Veili didn’t have much of an issue with that either. He was dubious that someone else had the specializations in both Automancy and Alchemy to attempt what he did for a living, and even then, well it would just be someone he would probably find time to talk with. 

[b]“I made it,”[/b] he answered with a raised eyebrow, where else did she think he would have gotten it from? He watched as she seemed to finish up with the cursory examination of the weapon before starting to go through the paces with it. A foot began to tap impatiently since he was already running late, but she seemed to have at least an idea of what she was doing and so Veili held back from commenting. It wasn’t too surprising for him to see that she could levitate the sword, he had already pretty much guessed she was either an Alchemist or Automancer. After all, who else would be so interested in what amounted to a mundane sword in the masses' eyes. There had also been the possibility that she had an obsession with weapons, but… well actually that was still on the table for consideration. 

His expression, which mellowed out while he watched her, changed back into a small scowl at her critique of the piece. Still… he didn’t need to explain to her why any of the things were as they were with the weapon, and instead just held out his hand for the sword back. [b]“The price is already set, and no, I’m not taking higher bids. Now, either walk or give the sword back so I can. I do have someone waiting.”[/b]
