The smith nodded understandingly. As the Dust crystals were produced, he began to lift and inspect them, appearing to not be listening. However, as the young Huntress's words had finished, he made his offer.
	"[color=9e0b0f]Aluminum? I figure you'd be wanting steel. Handles wear better, needs to be replaced less, won't bend as easy. Now...[/color]" the burly man held the crystals to the light, inspecting them further, "[color=9e0b0f]These'll get you yer springs and hinges, and these,[/color]" he held out the three Drown Crystals, "[color=9e0b0f]Will get you about four, five hours in the shop,[/color]" Maroon explained, walking to the back wall to open the curtain, and gesture to the array of benches in the open shop room, with a row of work stations arranged across the room five times over, offering two score forges and troughs, "[color=9e0b0f]Now, for the metal, I'll need some Lien for that.[/color]"
	With a light click, the Dust crystals were placed back on the counter, the Burn and Drown crystals separated and aligned. Seeing Trey clean the area and explain himself- although none too happy that he was running a magnetic current so close to all this Dust- he rolled his eyes, but did his best to bite his tongue.
	"[color=9e0b0f]Nickel?[/color]" he scoffed, fairly certain that was the reason for the constant replacements of his knee joints.

	Returning momentarily to the work room, the woman in blue removed the lenses from her face, placing them on the table next to the precision Dust tools. After gathering her affects, she strode out across the work floor, her scarf still covering her mouth and nose. Quietly, she stepped past the other Huntsmen and Huntresses who had gathered in the front of the shop, and deftly flicked a stack of colorful Lien wordlessly to Maroon. The shopkeep caught it without so much as a word, depositing it in his register as the green haired woman left the shop. However, she did not go far, instead stopping near the end of the fence and leaning against the wall, her wide scarf granting her shade from the slowly waning sun as the afternoon wore on.
