"An excellent choice, madame," the merchant says cheerily. "These will look very fetching, I assure you. I crafted them to match the latest fashion, but with my own unique touch... you'll fit right in but still look ravishingly, um... cutting edge."<br/><br/>Before they can get to the matter of payment, the tall man sets a small sack on the counter. Zarna sees that it is filled not with gold or silver, but with finely cut gemstones.<br/><br/>"Consider it a gesture of a potential friendship," the man says. "Material wealth is common where I come from, but friends are the most rare commodity."<br/><br/>The spider-merchant eyes it warily for a moment, but after fiddling around for a moment with the stones gladly slides it closer, and eyes Zarna for an acceptance.
