Lance got on his phone and called Old man Lokarn. After a few rings, Lokarn picked up, "Hello?" It sounded almost like Lokarn had just woken up.
"Hey Old Man, how are you?" Lance felt this was enough of an introduction. He wasn't sure if he was the only one to call him old man, but still felt confident.
"What do you want kid?" Lokarn didn't sound pleased. He didn't mind Lance, but he found him kind of annoying.
"Is that any way to treat your favorite customer? Anyways, I got a request for you." Lance wanted to get his new gear as soon as possible. He knew he won't need it for this mission, but he still felt he would need it sooner rather than later. And the sooner he got Lokarn to accept, the better.
"Can't you find someone else and stop bugging me, kid?"
"I want to hire you. I got a workshop and everything set up. What do you say?"
