Despite the apparent buzz within the shop as he entered, Ryusei hadn't been particularly fazed by the transaction. If anything, though, he was a bit worried about the poor sap who had just shelled out for one of Raza's patented pieces of cursed gear. Sure, there were a few weirdoes who wanted to try optimizing for whatever downside her gear had tacked onto it, or were praying that the upsides outweighed the downsides (heavens knew he had been one of them a week ago), but he was here for something more experimental.

Heck, maybe he wouldn't lose the gamble [i]too[/i] hard this time.

"Nah, I'm good," he responded simply, waving his hand in the air before a bag of coins dropped into it. "I'll just take the order, so--"

Before he could finish the transaction, though, the arrival of someone else edging their way in to interrupt irked him, however slightly. The possibility that Raza had sold the wrong thing to the wrong person crossed his mind momentarily, of course, but ideally he wouldn't get wrapped up in a mess like that if that was the case.

"...Right. In any case..." he resumed, placing the money in front of Raza with a nod. "Twin clawshots, custom order. You said you also wanted some spirit silver for... Something?"

A fist-sized piece of ore followed soon after the cash, and Ryusei looked at the shopkeeper expectantly.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious, but you said you'd tag along for a Sacred Grove run to make sure things weren't breaking apart at the seams before that, right?"

Of course, learning how to use his new tools (if they worked) was a priority, but hunting for spare fairy flowers in the process was never a [i]bad[/i] thing.
