<div class="floatright">(http://aelinmor.de/owncloud/s/aP3W4DF2p7Ve97P/download)</div>Beran (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=935425)'s ear was twitching, a sign that his anger was raising, if the darker skinned elf was the reason or the other with her guard was not easy to tell apart. He let her words run through his mind for long enough that she could inspect the puppy and make her happy. Still smiling he followed her a few steps, keeping his distance though as he did not trust the knights to just stand there if he got into arms reach of the one they had to protect.<br/><br/><strong>"Ah that puppy? She is an eager pet, wanting so desperately to find a new home. I was beginning to worry about her as her look grew sadder each day people ignored her, despite her efforts to show everyone how cute and what a good girl she is. For the price. I would like to say, some very basic supplies included it is 20,000 pieces of gold, but I was officially informed by a messenger just before you came in... you must have missed her... that I <em>have </em>to join the local merchants guild. That will cost time and additional money so I had to raise the costs for the puppy to 30,000 and exclude even the most basic supplies."</strong>His answer was all smile while he wondered if the elf would gulp that barely hidden insult and buy the puppy or just leave, so he could go back to the other elf and the bunny.<strong>"Just imagine, that messenger even had 2 guards who kicked in my door, nearly breaking it, and looked menacing at me as if they were only there to intimidate me in my own shop. I guess I will have to raise the price even more if I think about it, as I might have to pay a wizard to add some protective magic against such brutes in shining armor... some lightnings might be a good trap, shocking those wearing metal armor even more. Just thinking about what a wizard might take could make the price jump another 10,000 as those spells are expensive. That would only be needed of course, had the knights shown any signs of drawing their weapons or such."</strong><br/><br/>The catboy was full aware of the insults he barely hid but hoped those guards were not all muscles but at least some brain to hold back or even go outside so the price-tag would not raise even further to include new furniture or the likes. Beran would be happy to sell the puppy, even for only 20,000... if the elf would let go of her demands with the guild. The added costs were just for her, and any other guild member he might find out, going the opposite way of giving them discounts as it was usually handled within guilds.
