136 Auction (9) - End

'Dammit! If I let that person know that I'm desperate for it, they'll jack up the price for nothing! And even if I strategically pull out just when they do that, I'll end up missing out on a precious item! What should I do, what should I do???'

Lars bit his thumb nail in anxiety as his forehead throbbed, the stress getting to him.

Kizorik was no better off - this was a chance for him to break through the current sealed state and begin to release his powers as more than just an imaginary friend - he would be able to perform scouting, scanning and even fight as an extra pair of hands... Err, flippers.

He couldn't bear the thought that the precious item (underpriced too) could possibly slip them by just because someone was toying with them!
