Daniel quietly walked back to the booth where virgil was currently looking at, and once he approached him, he noticed that he was holding a small metallic sphere with odd inscriptions in his small hands. He was rotating it, and looking it from all angles, almost as if trying to find something on its surface.

"What is that?" asked Daniel to the seemingly busy kid.

Daniel did not bother to correct the man, and said "How much is it?"
