It had been a while since Seveth had last set foot in this shop. Mining wasn't something he personally dabbled in, and while trading in magic crystals on the side could earn him a pretty penny, getting evicted from his home had put a damper on pretty much everything for a while. Things were finally settling down though, so one fine afternoon saw him breezing through the shop door to lean on the counter, elbows braced, chin in hand, grinning at the taciturn shopkeeper.
"Miss me?" he said. "I've got more stones for you! Tell me if there are any good, huh? I'm looking for... oh, a Pure Crystal, let's say?" Seveth brandished a few hunks of ore and a rock. He wasn't really picky about type, but he did know a guy who always wanted this particular kind, and that made things easier -- having someone to fall back on if he couldn't find another buyer.

Kor couldn't help but chuckle. "Sure, let's say that. Let me see what you have." He said, gesturing for the stones. After taking a look he had to admit, it was a pretty good haul. "It's good quality titanium ore. I can give you 154 credits for it all- so your pure crystal and a bit of pocket change left over. Sound good to you?" He asked, raising an inquisitive bushy eyebrow.

Seveth blinked at the shopkeeper's response, caught off guard by the warmth of it, then slowly broke into a grin. "Hey, you're in a good mood today, huh? Business going well? Find a special someone? I guess I missed my chance," he said, sighing with feigned wistfulness -- all in jest, of course. He was probably laying it on thicker than San would have liked, but he couldn't help it. This guy was usually so dour. This was probably the first time Seveth had actually gotten a laugh out of him -- as far as he could remember, anyway.
Maybe that good mood bled into the value he got for the stones too. Or maybe they didn't, maybe these really were good quality ores. Not like Seveth could tell the difference himself. He didn't know the first thing about that kind of thing. "That sounds absolutely fantastic," he said. "Pleasure doing business!"

"Don't tell the missus," he said. Wait, was that a joke? It was easy to miss, since he switched right back into business without skipping a beat.
Kor unlocked the cabinet and pulled out a sparkling white crystal. He placed it on the counter along with some change. "Pleasure's mine," he said. Wait. ANOTHER joke? He had been caught on a good day, indeed, made even better with a solid lump of titanium to work with.
