"483,500 gil" a vendor told to the couple of blue haired adventurers.
"That's to high" The au ra interrupted the lalafell. "We won't be paying that much for something that has a lower value"
"That's the way it is young lady" the vendor told her.
But she didn't hesitate, paying that much was off the table. Combing her bangs with her fingers she took a moment before doing what she was known for in her group.
"We'll pay you 320,000 gil" She told the vendor while crossing her arms before her.
"What?! Are you crazy?! There is no way I'm letting go more than 160,000 gil just like that!" The vendor explode before the pair.
"Hey Soul don't start, we can..." The lalafell told in almost a whisper to her but was interrupted by the vendor's laugh.
"All right kids, I see what you want to play. I'm willing to accept 480,000 gil for it"
"350,000 gil and information you can use if you want to boost your sales "
"All right girl, I won't go lower than 475,000. Your choice"
"We'll give you 365,500, the information and we'll do your errands for the day, if they require eliminating monsters, you get parts of them that you can sell"
The vendor and the au ra maintained a battle of wills while looking at each other's eyes. The lalafell just kept looking at them feeling nervous.
"Ha! I like your style girl, you know what you are doing. It's been a while since someone challenged my prices. You have a deal." The vendor searched for a notebook, ripped a page and handle it to the girl. "This are my tasks for the day. If you want to take your item with you before it's time to eat I suggest you two start working now."
"We'll be back soon. Don't even think of selling it to anyone else" said the au ra.
"Don't worry, you have my word" said the vendor while he moved the item behind the counter.
The adventurers started walking and when they were far from the shop he asked the girl.
"Hey, why didn't you accepted the first time? We could have payed for it without a problem"
"True" said the girl starting to comb her bangs again. "But is also true that it's true value is less than what he was asking for, and with that saved money we can get the items we need for the others. If we finish fast we can even get a sweet treat before returning"
That was the magic word. The lalafell jumped and walked with purpose.
“Such a clever mind you have, quickly, if we divide the tasks we can get the candies faster"
The girl just laugh a little and showed him the list.
