"So I hear you have something very interesting for sale." Nidget hadn't even waited a damn day from when I'd gotten the ring from Travania before he was already implying he'd steal it from me. I tell you its almost like Nidget isn't even my real friend.
"Several things, including this bone," I presented the bone it was human, I thought didn't know for sure, "I've heard this can ward off evil spirits, yet you are here so it must not be that good."
"Not some stupid bone Trezlan, the ring."
"Ring? I've got several, even got an engagement ring recently jilted lover very sad story, but a pretty ring, could cut you a deal." I was playing dumb, because tell you the truth was a little creeped out Nidget already knew I had it.
"Travania's ring Trezlan, how much?"
"It's not for sale and I'm really put off by how you know that I have it, its not cursed is it?" Everything is cursed, I've even seen an cursed outhouse, though that was probably just the result of bad cooking.
"No its not cursed, and I know he must have sold that ring because I know he's on hard times and he saw you, the ring is the only thing you would have bought from him, so how much you want for it?" Nidget seemed a little obsessed about getting what just looked like a shiny moderately expensive bauble.
"Nothing, at least not yet the Ring is in pawn he's got a month to pay it off."
"You know I was with him when he got that, so part of it is mine, so maybe you should..."
"Leave my store before you find out what burning alive feels like." I was forceful with Nidget, like a bad animal you have to be. He looked at me with a squint and made his way out of the store. I was now more interested in the ring since Nidget was, and also this Travania fellow. I knew exactly zero about him, but I did know someone who would know more, unfortunately the good Captain and I weren't on great terms and of course she still held a grudge from the last time I almost killed everyone in the city. I tell you some people!
