Miller keeps a serious face. He picks up the two gold coins from the counter. He looks at Garrek and then at you. He nods a little. He seems to like that you picked the strong clothes.

[b]"Good choice,"[/b] he says in a low voice. [b]"It is smart to be prepared. My clothes will not fail you."[/b]

He turns to the shelves. He pulls down a bundle of dark wool cloth and a pair of strong boots. He puts the folded clothes on the counter.

He slides the package to you. Your eyes look past him. You look toward the door that leads to the back room.

You see it again. It is the same dark shadow you saw on the roof. This time it is closer. It stands just inside the dark hallway.

This time the shadow has eyes.

Two bright yellow eyes look right at you. They stare at you for one second. It is a quiet and scary moment. Then the shadow vanishes back into the dark room.

Miller does not notice anything. He keeps his hand on the clothes. [b]"Here you go, Miss. Tell me if the boots do not fit."[/b]

Garrek looks at a stack of belts nearby. [b]"Do you need a belt, Kalila? You will need a place to put all that gold you earn."[/b]
