Blade

"I'm just inquiring," Rui raised his arms lightly. "I have no intention of pressuring you at all."

"It's taking time because you want such a bizarre esoteric like Tethered Bellhorn Steel," The man scowled. "Why on Earth would you want such a heavy esoteric alloy to fashion the blade out of?"

Rui smiled. "Everyone has their necessities."

"Any why on Earth do you want a scabbard that cools it?" The man furrowed his eyebrows. "That does not help in battle!"

Rui didn't even bother gracing that with a reply, simply smiling instead.

The man sighed exaggeratedly before shrugging. "Whatever, you're paying a huge amount of money, so it's fine I guess. There are all kinds of strange people in the world."

Rui did not mind being perceived that way. He was not going to genuinely inform the man what his intentions were, after all.
