"Well... my hammer doesn't need to be sharpened." Madawc grinned, then departed from Xavier, stating that he wanted to buy some other things. Being on his own now and not knowing the city, it took him a considerable while and several friendly inquiries to find what he was looking for.

The man he was confronted with had a dismissive attitude towards him almost right from the beginning, but he was the only one who appeared to possess horses that looked suitable to Madawc. The demon-man got pointed at and even poked multiple times into his flabby, but not really large belly. He really would have liked to break this guy's finger or even something bigger. In the end, the trader accepted one of his two beasts and most of the coins Madawc had just earned this day as payment.

Madawc also bought a new saddle and some other small things before he returned to the agreed meeting point with the mute. Now he was sitting on a real war horse in full armor. It was obvious that it still was under very high strain, but it would suffice to carry him for several hours a day while his supplies were on the other beast.
