“You promised scrap and salvage, Bellveil. This is quite a lot of scrap and not a lot of salvage.â€
“My apologies for that, Miss Uro. Much of the salvageable material from the cache was given to a friend of mine for study. I could hardly say no. But I think you’ll find that everything in there is more than worthwhile for someone keen to study goblin engineering.â€
“Huh! You say that about everything you try to fob my way, but this is good enough just by the quality of the gears, I suppose. Usual trade? Just got a load of things in fell off the back of an airship.â€
“Did they actually fall?â€
“I suppose in a sense they did, yes. Lucky some of those sky pirates were in place to catch them, isn’t it? Go on and have a look.â€
“But of course, Miss Uro. Let’s see … ah, I like the cracked vase, that could be quite popular with some free companies I know who seek that ‘run-down and dilapidated look’. Oh, and - what’s the origin of that statue there?â€
“The totem? Said it was Vanu make. Supposed to be a warrior from ages past.â€
“My word, to think they used to look like paissa! It would be quite a find for the budding beastfolk historian. And - Oschon’s bunions, Miss Uro, what is that?â€
“What, that thing? Bit morbid, isn’t it? Said it was ancient technology or whatever, but you know how it is. Paint a few glowing lines on something and suddenly it’s an authentic wooden coin from ancient Allag or Amdapor or wherever.â€
“But I don’t see any glowing lines.â€
“Yeah, this one’s subtle, you just touch it here and - “
“Oh! My word! Very interesting. Do you know what it does?â€
“Mostly it upsets my customers when they look at it, is what it does, and you can see why. Haven’t tried using it. The people brought it in said it was a rejuvenation device, or preservation, or similar.â€
“Preservation? On what?â€
“People I suppose, but to use it you’d have to get in it, and you won’t catch me doing - “
“I’ll take it.â€
“What, that? It’s a mite large to sell at the Quicksand isn’t it?â€
“Quite so, Miss Uro. But this is for me. Just this. I think that’s a fair trade.â€
“Your - hah - your funeral, I suppose. I’ll have it crated and sent to your estate How d’you plan on using it?â€
“Oh, I don’t know. I could always stand to shave a few years off of my life.â€
