Emil stays when he realizes she’s assisting him. But he looks genuinely puzzled. "Why would he inflate the price? The Caissa authorities would notice if he was cheating people."
His voice is soft and the delivery so matter-of-fact and innocent it couldn't possibly be a threat… could it? "Do you know of another shop selling scarves?" Emil inquires, looking up to her.
But the shopkeeper has a comeback for that! What quality would those other scarves be? This is expertly dyed and guaranteed to hold its color! Anyone selling one for less than 200 is a fraud! Clearly, both of you are Heroes sent by the gods to save the country, so he’ll take the loss here. 250!
Emil will probably accept that offer unless his fellow Hero wants to bargain a bit more or show him to another shop.
