Some few seconds into the sales pitch, Keystone remembered that he had procured new set of footwear from the Xiang temple two days earlier. He felt rather foolish, forgetting something as obvious as this, but let Gael finish vocalizing his thought without interruption. Quietly, he thanked the bootmongering Gnome for his time, mumbling something about checking for a clunky Orc-crafted ironwood oxford he thought he saw near the raisin cake merchant two or so blocks down. "Good for stomping!" he mused, formed a quick apology, and started about his merry way. 

At Kai's leatherworkery, Keystone shot a puzzled look at the Master of Expired Animal Skin Crafting. Whereas it was possible that he did not fully articulate the nature of his order, it was likewise possible that the craftsman had something specific in mind. Much as Rocksteady's work with metal was an exercise in trust for the generally untrusting Keystone, perhaps this man would bear similar results in his chosen medium. 

After a few seconds of hard stare, Keystone produced 25 platinum coins and set them in front of the Kai. "Right and proper, Tradesman. I ain't the wealthy type. Bit of good luck I'm exchanging for something practical in the long-term. Now, if we have an accord, do you have anything else what could benefit a man in my position? Bit of a browse, maybe? I do appreciate good leather."

The pugilist replaced his coinpurse as it was earlier, and shot a final question. "You seem like the kinda man that could recommend an honest 'enchanter', what can do the job you mentioned. Anyone come to mind?"
