Suki felt like Umichi just answered his own question, but she didn't say anything, just nodded as he spoke, grimacing slightly at the price. But...She shifted, and said [color=bc8dbf]"Well, it does sound like a good idea to get it now, but...2.7K, for a weapon with low durability? That's a bit pricey"[/color] She said, trying to project confidence in her voice, rather then fear at speaking up. [color=bc8dbf]"I'm sure it's a good weapon, but I'd have to spend more then its worth to constantly to have it fixed."[/color] She swallowed, trying to figure out what to say, she seemed to hesitate, wondering if she was going to far. The blacksmith might be an NPC, but here, the NPC did need to live. [color=bc8dbf]"How about I pay the 2.7k, but then you have to fix it up, when I need. As another aspect to the offer, I can provide materials you need for you smithing, from my travels"[/color] 2.7k was still pricey for her, and would still leave her with a few hundred col. She would just have to hop that she could get money from dropped items, when they went out to do the quest, or when she trained. She stood, waiting for the blacksmith's response, uneasy, wondering if she had gone to far.
