Shindayru was tired, hungry, and her feet hurt. She had just examined the wares of what seemed to be the millionth blade stall and, yet again, come up empty-handed. She sighed, stretched, and cast her gaze for another likely-looking stall.

What caught her eye this time, though, was not a stall, but rather a building. She shrugged, muttered to herself, "What do I have to lose?", and entered through the low doorway.

She was immediately greeted by a shopkeeper, but Shindayru took her time in answering. After letting her eyes wander through the shop, Shindayru finally said, "I need a set of four 6-inch long steel daggers. Cyper handles would be fine, although I could use lower-quality wood if necessary. The handles need to be roughly two inches in diameter. I'm only willing to spend 200 gold coins. I need you to help me find what I'm looking for." Shindayru finished, letting her sights rest on the shopkeeper still standing in front of her.

She cocked her head, waiting for the shopkeeper's reply.

Philip slowly shifted from his seat as the door opened, the small bell ringing serenely as a new customer entered. He rubbed at his eyes, pulling away the dirt that built up from his little nap. He couldn’t have new people coming in and seeing him with the sleep worn look still on his face. It was bad for business. “Gudday,” the young man said as the woman entered. “What can I do for you today?”

After the woman spoke the recently appointed shop-keep smiled and nodded. “Direct, to the point, an easy customer. I got just what you want, no wait either. It’s a common set of daggers, nothing outrageously special; keep ‘em on stock all the time. For four daggers like that, I’d say you’d be lookin’ at about 70 gold for ‘em all.”

Shindayru nodded once, cracking a small smile at the young man as he came back to her with the daggers. "I was actually expecting a much higher price, what with all the outrageously high cost items in the stalls. Anyway, thank-you very much for these!" She finished, stowing the daggers in her belt as she handed over the payment. "I'll make sure to recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable blade." She added as an afterthought, testing the edge of her newly aquired weapons on the pad of her thumb absentmindedly.

Shindayru, satisfied they were sharp enough, turned around and exited the store, waving good-bye to the shopkeeper over her shoulder as she did so.
