Aust in the hall.

"Thank you for escorting me. You did a great job getting me here." Violet walks to the entrance, then looks back. "You coming?"

Aust spends a moment looking around first. "Ya I'll be right in. You can head in first see as how you have real business with her. I'm just going to stand here for a moment or two." Aust seems really focused on looking back the way they came.

"Umm... okay." Violet shrugs it off as Aust being Aust and enters the shop.

Aust will wait for about 20 seconds watching back the way they came (for shadowy figures ) then will enter the shop with a giant smile on his face. "Bayley!"

As far as Aust can tell, the coast is clear. In the shop Violet has taken out her sword and  placed it on the counter. "So, do you think you can fix it?"

Just then, Aust enters, drawing her attention  from violet.

Bayley  goes around  the counter and gives Aust a hug, and then punches him in the arm. "Aust, you son of an orc. You're  in a guild now? That's great. You and your guild mates will be sure to give me lots of business, right?"

"Ya that's why we are here, Bayley that's Lady Violet she the guild master. She tells stories and sings songs that heal her." Aust learns in close and whispers "She said she's a queen also."

Bayley gives Violet a skeptical look. "Well, your highness. Let's see what we're working with." Bayley walks over to the counter, picks up the sword, and starts to examine it. "This metal, I've never seen it before. I've heard stories, but if I'm right, this this sword is worth a small fortune, even broken."

Violet shifts nervously. "But can you fix it?"

"I don't know. How well do you know this woman Aust? Do you trust her?"

"What? Ya why would you ask that?" Aust is looking over stuff in the shop. "I mean I would be in her guild otherwise right?" Aust and looks at Bayley "It's like asking me if I trust you."

"Great " Violet says with a dry tone. "See, the big guy likes me. Do you put all of your customers through this level of scrutiny?"

Bayley rolls her eyes and the two spend the next few minutes taking care of business.

"Thanks, but no. I have my hands full running the shop, but your guild can always come to me for business. I'll even offer smithing lessons to those who want it... for a price of course. As for your sword 'Lady' Violet, I'm afraid i'm going to need a little more ore to properly repair it to your specifications. That stuff don't come cheap. We're talking rare, and the type of thing only nobility can afford. Get me the ore and I'll fix your sword"

"Oh all right then." Aust looks a little sad. "But see I told you Bayley was the best she can fix your sword Lady Violet. " Aust looks all happy and chipper again.

Bayley writes down the name of the ore and tells Violet that her best chance is probably in the Dagger Top Mountains.

"I've been there! Those mountains are the best, and Hammerforge is there its a great Dwarven town." Aust looks really excited.

Violet looks less than thrilled. "First the flowers, then the ore. Why can't I find what I need in a city this big? I have to get some other things in order, but do you think you can take me there Aust. Once we have a bit more coin."

"Um, ya I can get there. I think. No I can really get there."
