Even with Kate's words of warning, Jasper knew that if Marcus tried anything he'd be dealing with him in the only way he knew how. If he wanted to take on a pit fighter, he wasn't going to deny him the privilege. Upon hearing that he was in Kate's father's elite however, his anger settled a fraction. She was pleading with him, and he had to acknowledge, and accept this.<br/><br/>Meeting Kate's eye, he shook his head to her question. He had never been allowed to buy anything, never even getting to see his earnings from the fights. Everything went to his mistress. He grew concerned when she said she wasn't allowed to be in the shop, and handed him the pouch. He listened intently to her instructions, any previous signs of his temper gone, replaced with nervousness. Carefully accepting the glass vials, Jasper turned to find Sir Aaron. Upon spotting the man, thankfully lacking his son, Jasper approached. His shoulders were tense, and he could feel his heart hammering in his chest.<br/><br/>He presented the chosen blade to the smith before proceeding with what Kate had told him.<br/><br/>"Sir Aaron, I am to also ask for a belt with a holder for the scabbard." He could hear the unease in his own voice but forced himself to continue. "I am to pay no more than $255 silver, as well as these." He handed the man the pouch and vials, hoping he had done it right rather than making a fool of himself.
