Veragwen shrugged as they walked and got closer to Richard, "I suppose so, but it's hard to protect him from here. If anyone was around him they could probably catch him before we could get there..." She smiled at Kest as he held the door open for her. "Thank you, Sir Kest." As she passed she turned her head forward to smile at the shopkeeper, but it faded when she saw it wasn't him. Vera visted this store fairly frequently, and would know of any new hires. The man also seemed a little shifty for her liking. Like he knew he wasn't supposed to be there. Something was up. She mentioned nothing about it and instead turned to smile at Richard, "Good morning, Richard. You really should've came and got me first. It's hard to protect you when you aren't around. Actually, maybe you should move into my place now that I think about it, I have an extra room you could stay in. Ah, but I'm getting off topic. What brings you to the weapons shop? Thinking about learning to fight? It certainly couldn't hurt, right? I'd be happy to give you some pointers if you'd like." she said, smiling at Richard while watching the shopkeeper out of her peripherals.
