Mmm, it's definitely easier to haggle if they've got excess than if there's a shortage... [Ren might not have to actually haggle very often in practice so much as negotiate in a more big-business manner, but he still knows the general principles. It's hard not to when you run a company.

Even as she speaks, he's picking up a few of the daggers to investigate them more closely - he's definitely leaning towards the longer ones, but once she suggests avoiding decorations, his attention shifts towards the very simple ones, the sleeker and easy to conceal types.]

Maybe I'll save that as a present for myself if I make enough money doing odd jobs~ [If he can take it back to the temple, he wouldn't mind something nicer as a permanent weapon...but at the same time, he'd probably be concealing it the majority of the time anyway, so it's not a priority.

At her suggestion, he tosses one of them up and catches the hilt in his hand again, then picks up another one and does the same with it. They're both of a similar simple style, but different metals, and Ren hums a little at it, weighting the one in his right hand.]

This one feels almost too heavy...cruder metals are usually heavier, right? [Iron vs silver, and that sort of thing. They both seem to be of fine build quality, but he'd prefer something lighter.]
