“Thank you for all you effort in trying to help me out.” Hayate said as he looked the smith in the face. Hayate knew that he was giving him the best deals he could and the young swordsman would just waist the man’s time.

After a few fumbling moments the deed was done and he stashed his coin purse back within the folds of his robes.

“Thanks for all your effort and I hope your son makes it into work soon. I know its early but I’m sure I won’t be your only customer today.”
