The bell rang as the door opened, and the clerk opened his head as yet another warrior stepped through this day. Eric let out a quiet breath as he escaped the crowds outside, shutting the door to the armory behind him. It had been a mistake to come midday; he had been caught in the hustle and bustle, and it had taken him ages just to get here. With a sigh, the youth's hand fell from the door handle and to his side as he turned, examining the walls around him.

To no surprise, they were covered in blades of all sorts and sizes; blades of Akashiman nature, daggers as small as his fingers, every kind you could think of. Eric snorted quietly; he'd heard about this place from his fellow Ixian Knights, that this was the best place to buy a sword from it's dedication to weaponry and only weaponry. Still, he couldn't help but be slightly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of steel around him, and it took a light cough from the clerk before him to clear his senses and remember why he was here in the first place.

Quickly, he stepped forward, reaching behind him and under his cloak before pulling out two identical prevalida daggers, each a foot long and under the guard of the hilt, a small circle for a finger to slip through. Setting them on the counter before the clerk, he spoke. "I'm looking to sell these. Don't use 'em much, and I could use the money. What do you suppose I could get for them?"

As it states, they are twin daggers made of prevalida. On the sides of the blade are the weapon's names, "Acheron" and "Styxx". He's sharpened them, but barely used the blades, so they're above average in quality.

The man cleaned off his black apron, picked up the twin daggers and examined them.

"Names already engraved on em, but they're common weapon names so I'm gonna do you a favor and not deduct any cash for em. Prevalida, it looks like, oh yes. Hm....I'll give ya about 700 for both of em."

The swordsman frowned as he glanced down at the twin blades. It was...a little less than he was expecting. It wasn't bad, necessarily, but he expected he could get better, especially for quality prevalida, but he wasn't a bazaar master either. Letting a breath escape his lips, he reached down and held one of the daggers up to the light, highlighting the sharp edge of the blade.

"I've no knowledge of other weapons with the same names, but that isn't to say you're wrong and I'm right. However, from what I do know, prevalida's expensive; more so than mythril." He set the dagger back down and leaned upon the counter, folding his arms slightly. "I'm not the greedy type; would 850 do for both?"

The first rule of the bazaar was always to sell for less than what it would be bought for. It was simple science. So when the customer simply went up a measly one hundred and fifty gp for the price of the blades, the shopkeep nodded. "It looks like we have ourselves a deal," he said, shaking the mans hand and counting out the 850.
