*Trusty thinks.*
Trusty: Normally a sword of this quality would go for over a hundred gold pieces. But that wouldn't feel fair to me. So how does 98 sound?
Girl: *Mutters* Like a right rip-off.
*Trusty tries to purse his lips without dropping his smile.*

Well that's fine then!
*Shadow rummages in her small pouch and produces 98 gold pieces.*
There you go!

*Trusty is taken aback. He had expected his customer to haggle. He doesn't count the coins himself.*
Trusty: Thank you! A pleasure doing business with you. Don't te-
Girl: Holy Viola! How'd you get so much pocket money?

I found a whole bunch of treasure at a castle ruin once. Boy, I was lucky then.

Girl: Hmph. You're only lucky if whoever's treasure it was doesn't come looking for it. No wonder you wanted a weapon!

Trusty: W-wait!
*The girl scowls.*
Trusty: Are you sure there is no more I can sell, er, offer you? A shield? A scabbard to keep your new sword safe? As you are now a loyal customer, everything you see on my stall is on a special discount to you... today!

Well I suppose a scabbard would be good. How much?

Trusty: That depends. Do you want the lightness of a leather scabbard, or for a little more money, the toughness of a metal scabbard?

*Shadow thinks a leather scabbard wold be better if she needs to run from a situation. The metal one might weigh her down.*
The leather one please.

Trusty: Another wise choice!
*Trusty rummages around behind the stall and finds a leather scabbard that looks about the right size.*
Trusty: That'll be 20... no, I did say special discount... 10 gold pieces.
*The girl yawns. Trusty ignores her.*
Trusty: I also have a very reasonably priced breastplate that would go marvellously with your new sword. Would you care to take a look?

*Shadow hands over the 10 gold pieces.*
Yes, I might as well have a look.

*Trusty finds the breastplate. It has seen better days and is somewhat out of shape. He holds it up.* Girl: Ugh, it looks like a troll sat on it! Trusty: *Talking loudly over her* A fine piece of work as you can see, decorated with battle scenes from Greek myth to inspire you in or own fights. Or distract your enemies! Girl: It looks a bit big for her. Trusty: And of course, if it isn't the tightest fit now, you'll grow into it! *He holds the breastplate out for Shadow to try on.* [OOC: Yes, we've seen this breastplate before.]

*Shadow tries the breastplate on. As the girl said, it is a little on the big side, but the design on it looks very interesting.*
Hmm...where did it come from?

Trusty: *Clearing his throat* Its origins are lost in mists of time. It has had many owners, all living to tell the tale of how it saved their lives. According to one legend, it protected one of Wolfenden's own against a savage ogre. According to another, it withstood a brutal attack by one of the Opposition's most dreaded minions.
Girl: Oh, well I heard it was this old piece of rubbish that no one can sell, so it gets passed from stall to stall until someone comes along who's stu-
Trusty: Ha, the fun that children have making up stories. If there is such a breastplate as that, haha, it certainly couldn't be this one.
