Arthur looked at the outrageously high price that the merchant gave him for the map. "I, uh, think I'll try my luck at bidding. One coin, please." Arthur quickly turned around, looking at the people around him. He hoped to whatever cosmic being of fate that existed, that no one would be interested in the map. His eyes were practically begging for no one to step forward. [i]Oh, please. Oh, please. Oh, please. Don't let anyone bid against me. I need this.[/i] His expression quickly changed to that of fury as a few nearby shoppers came closer. [i]I swear on all the gorgeous women of the world if you even think of it, I'll pull your own arm off and shove it down your throat.[/i] His new expression actually got a few would-have-been customers to back down, while the rest gave the idea of purchasing the, possibly fake, map a few moments of consideration.
