He looked at the old man with mounting exasperation. This conversation was dragging on for what felt like weeks.
"Perhaps you didn't hear me," William said, trying to keep the annoyance out of his voice. The man was old and likely hard of hearing after all. "How much of your quoted price is for fixing the titanium breastplate and how much of it is for the resizing ability? And, on the other hand, how much would you be willing to pay for this lump of titanium if I were interested in selling it instead?"

The man snapped to attention, annoyed this rude mad had interrupted his impromptu nap. "I don't know where your manners are SONNY" the ancient man grunted rising from his seat. "But where I come from we respect our Elders" Gritting his teeth the old man continued.
"The repair is included in the resizing ability, I'm not going to sit and modifiy a piece of junk. If you wanted to pawn this thing off on me I could only afford to pay 1,182 Gold for it."
The man grunted and spat on the ground, "Take it or leave it, I'm not haggling my prices"

Frustration flashed into anger. The blacksmith's lackadaisical demeanor had certainly not engendered any good will within William, but the smug self assuredness with which he spoke simply made William want to tear his head from his shoulders. He wanted it so badly at that moment that he found his hands already twitching in anticipation. Realizing this, William forcibly calmed himself. He was no longer a creature to be ruled by simple aggression.
Besides, he needed this man's skill and could always kill him after the product was finished.
"Fine, fine," he growled, waving an errant hand at the old man. "See to your work, blacksmith. I expect and will accept nothing but the highest quality."
