With the arrival of customers, Magnus decided to put his practice on hold. He finished the short melody he was already playing, then returned the instrument to his pocket and stood up, standing behind the counter now. It was more professional, and he wanted to give his family's shop a good image. He answered the question of the first to enter, Aisha, while pointing out a section of the store that held a weapon rack on the wall, boxes of clothing on a shelf beneath it, and a few suits of armour. "Everything over there's got some enchantment, nothing you'd find at a specialist's place, but enough to give everything an extra kick," He explained. Since he didn't know much in the way of magic, Magnus tended to collaborate with the town's magic shop owner. He would forge the weapons, and the magician would enchant them. They usually split the haul pretty evenly, but the ones at the magician's store were stronger, if more expensive.<br/><br/>He would be ready to speak up again, and got the chance to only a few moments later with Avis' arrival. He returned her smile, both in reaction to the one she held and the compliment. "Thank you, and yes, we've got a few. Not many people around here like using them, so they've been up here a while." He turned and plucked a small collection of thrusting swords from the rack behind him. He began explaining the details of each sword, of which there were six. "The first three are steel, but this one," He pointed at the fourth, "Is made mostly of mithril. The basket is steel, so the hilt might be a little weighty." He then moved on to the fifth, which had a very reflective, almost crystalline blade. The handguard was made of an equally beautiful black metal "I made this during a visit to Eridis. Elven glass, with a bit of obsidite in the handle." He moved to the last one, finally, which was a flamboyant sword made of gold and red material. "And this one's...well, it's mostly for show. It's made of orichalcum and dragonstone." He lifted the sword, which weighed about ten pounds, and turned it over. The blade was not particularly sharp, and it was far too weighty to effectively thrust with, but it was still gorgeous to look at. "Dvergar don't really like light weapons, so when I tried to make one with the materials at one of their forges, this thing came out ."<br/><br/>While explaining, he noticed Anora seat herself on a box outside his shop. He wondered if there was something she needed, but since he was already involved with a potential customer, he would wait for her to come in or for the others to leave before he went outside to check. His attention, at the moment, was fully on Avis again. He put down the decorative rapier and straightened out the others. They were of uniform length and thickness, so any of the rapier sheaths he had in stock would fit them. Most were made of polished wood with a metal cap, and were attached to a leather strap that could connect to a belt for easy wearing.<br/><br/>Internally, Magnus thought about what a good start to a day this morning had been. Three people coming to a weapons shop at once, this early in the day? That hadn't happened for quite a while. And if the expected client showed up, then his family would earn enough to keep themselves well-fed for at least a few months. Things were looking good, and he felt good about it.
