Finale

---- Dalen Capital, Gularzob's Shop. Mid-afternoon, 0 DSTR ----

Isai noticed how awkward Artem seemed with his admission of his literacy, but he simply nodded in reaponse before speaking softly so no one else could easily hear the words, "It is not a common skill to have, being able to read. Do not feel strange, just let her do most of your reading. Work on reading when you have a chance, but do not be ashamed. You are a man of the sword, not the pen. Know who you are, and your inadequacies will fall away." Standing and offering a hand for Artem to shake as Lars called them over, Isai took the distraction as a chance to pack up his belongings. He had other things to do today and this had been an unexpected call.

Gularzob chuckled as Winifred spoke of her wealth before speaking with a smile before she could turn away, "Return at a later time and we can discuss your dagger. I don't think we should keep your business here waiting any longer." Nodding a farewell to them both, he turned his back and moved to the forge, trusting his friends to make sure the door shut after they all left.

Seeing the two come over to admire their garments, Lars could not help but blush slightly from all the praise. Ushering the comments away with a wave of her hand, she smiled before taking each of their hands in her own and speaking, "I love that you are pleased with my gifts. Please, have a wonderful time in our humble city and do come by my shop. I'd love to show you more options and possibly even chat." Walking to the door with the two in tow after they had dressed themselves and readjusted their belongings, she smiled again before opening the doors and holding them for them and speaking, "May I present, Dalen."

-Tag possibly Winifred and Artem or just let them move on.-
