Kale watched Sergei counting his coins and smiled, listening to him mumble. He leaned across the desk and pushed two of the coins back towards Sergei, "That is more than enough, sir. You have only purchased a small amount." He took the vials and deposited the contents into a small leather pouch to make it easier for storage when travelling, then wrapped the top of the pouch tightly in string.

He heard the man's request and called across to him, "We have some quicksilver supplies, sir. After I have helped this young lady I will assist you." [@J Silversmith]
