((Since you're getting mobbed in here I'll keep this short.))

Josh stepped to the front of the line at the anonymous bazaar weapon shop. He emptied his hands decisively on the counter. From his right hand came a stack of three short spears, average workmanship, made from Akashima redwood. The points were long and thin, rhombus shaped blades that provided a decent cutting edge leading to the strong tip. These deadly spearheads were made from delyn, the well balanced metal making each spear a lethal projectile as well as a close-quarters weapon, in the hands of an expert.

His left hand placed three delyn throwing knives on the counter, also average workmanship, and they clattered a little. With a polite nod to the clerk, Josh pulled a small drawstring bag from his pocket and loosened the primitive mechanism. The sound of gold coins rustling was one of mediocre wealth.

He asked, "How much for these six pretty frogstickers?" and pulled a few coins from the bag.

Frogsticker, heh. Lisa gave Josh a bemused grin. These can stick more than mere frogs if you watch your tone.

With the recent war between the Rangers and the Army still waging in the shadows, Weapons of the Outlanders was surprisingly getting mediocre foot traffic into the store. For whatever reasons, a customer's presence was much appreciated as the shop owner casually stowed her polished revolver and flipped through a small book of wares.

Oh, well. Can't help it if the man doesn't appreciate the good stuff.

"That's 600 gold pieces for the short spears and 350 for the throwing knives." The chocolate-hair proprietor let out a small grin. "Please do understand that Akashiman Redwood is something we don't get everyday."

"Of course, of course. Fine wood begets fine coin." The soldier nodded wisely as he placed one coin cermoniously after another on the counter.

"What do you say to 900 for the whole lot? Sort of a bulk discount, if you will." He tipped the shopkeeper a wink and directed is gaze at the pile of gold coins on the counter, shining tantalizingly.

It was all it took to make Lisa roll her eyes, as if seeing come a mile away.

So much for being a man. She laughed to herself, not giving this smooth operator the satisfaction of making her laugh out loud. All business and no charm. Not like him...

The image of a lone gunfighter-turned-vigilantes emerged in the depths of her mind, the man's broad shoulders the last image she would ever see of him. Where he would be now, she could only wonder...

"...Fine. Nine hundred for all of them." She stated flatly, suppressing the welled up emotions of a lost infatuation from an age gone by. "Anything else you would like to buy, sir?"

"No thanks," Josh said, and paid his tab, collected his purchases, and breezed out of the shoppe.

Lisa raised a curious brow at the man's sudden departure, allowing only a short glance at the payment before collecting them into the deposit box. The sappy emotions had all but disappeared with his callous reaction, but the girl couldn't help it.

"Pff. Men these days." She mused to herself, drawing out her onyx-colored revolver once more. "No patience whatsoever."
