takes a few moments to read the newest missive before heading into the merchants hall. " Thalenir you home, got a few things I need to purchase."
" Hope everythings goin well today, speaking of studies mine are what brings me here today. Turns out after 2 months of searching, begging, and pleading I have finaly found someone to help me with my new path. She requires a few things before we can get started. I need to get prices and availability on lets see....5 uncommon hides and 1 rare. Place looks great by the way."
Sabian enters to find the merchant's hall transformed. The scattered debris, blood stains, and bits of earth have been completely cleared out, leaving a pristine hall awaiting commerce to return to Jastrey.
Thalenir can be seen at the back sitting behind a small counter, on which rests his sword. His eyes are closed in concentration and his hands are resting on the blade's surface. He chants under his breath, and the sword glows subtly.
When Sabian speaks, Thalenir opens his eyes and takes his hands from the sword, causing the glow to subside. "Oh, hello there, my friend," he says warmly. "Certainly. Come, sit. I could use a break from my studies anyway." He gestures to a bench across the counter. "What can I help you with today?"
"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
