The proprietor of Zhek's Fancy Footwear, a short gnome in a dress normally reserved for nobles and hands usually found on metalworkers was very excited about a possible customer, giving Keystone a short tour of the place before discussing the fine ethics of footwear and choosing an appropriate pair for the monk: a pair of dark brown hard leather boots with a comfortable woolen filling that looked like a giant's attempt at making socks. The gnome, who introduced himself as Gael, quoted a 'modest' price of 25 gold for the pair, offering to part with them right then and there. He wasn't too happy at the prospect of window shopping, but remained friendly and assured the monk that he would not find better prices elsewhere.

The large red haired man didn't seem to notice Keystone until the monk was right in front of him, giving him a look that would have been menacing if his eyes didn't betray his amusement.

"I do not know a 'Lady Saran'. What this stranger told you is partially true; I am the best at my job, but my work comes at a price not many will be able to afford. You do not look like a wealthy man, but your purse clinks with the sound of an established merchant," he said with an approving nod.

Kai gestured to indicate 'talk' and patiently listened to every detail of the order as he continued his earlier work. He nodded as the monk finished, stopped his other work for a second and crossed his arms.
"I will consider your order, if you consider that the price to pay will be 250 gold for the flexible armour. To get the protection you want you would need an enchanter, as hide alone won't do protection [i]and[/i] flexibility. The armour itself can be done in six hours and you pay up front."
