Z'ar will hold the brew up to the light and scratch his chin. The goblin's explanation had been... Informative, but he still felt puzzled at the object. If the shopkeep was all natural then how did she know the effects of the tincture? Did she make it herself? If she was speaking the truth it meant she must've tested it and measured if she could give such a quantitative example. Did she herself purchase it from somewhere? His spiral of thoughts end however at the sound of Odrosa's transaction. Looking up and seeing even Sir Alec with a content expression he gathers that the knight had found something worthwhile. With a shrug Z'ar will dig out the coins and squat to pass them to the goblin, pocketing the tincture. If nothing else the item seemed humourous. Besides, it would be rude to not purchase anything after taking the lady's time.

Meralda smiles warmly at that, gladly taking Z'ar's money.

''Excellent choice my friend, I hope that you get a lot of use out of, in one way or another! Now, is there anything else? How about you, dear woman?''

She shoots that question at Orestina, eagerly awaiting a reply.

"Hmm... I am interested in these arrows but..." Orestina replied slowly, looking like she was caught halfway between speaking to Meralda and getting lost in thought. "You said they belonged to Spirus Dosa but how did you find out about that yourself and, for that matter, where did you come across them?" she continued, notes of skepticism and curiosity equally present in her tone.

''I'm glad you asked! To cut a long and exciting story short, I spent months travelling in the lands to the far south, searching for the fabled tomb of Spirus Dosa. Alas, I didn't find it but I did manage to stumble upon one of his barrows, each rumoured to hold one of his fabled weapons! A group of hired adventurers and I excavated it and after quite a bit of peril (booby traps, curses, that sort of thing), we found the arrows! I had them confirmed by an independent antiquarian and the rest as they say is history!''

Meralda says all this as if she's just describing the weather. You can't tell if she sounds so casual because its just a statement of fact, because she rehearsed it or because she's great at improvising.

Despite still feeling hesitant about the arrows, Orestina sighed as her intrigue ultimately won out over any further doubts. "Alright, consider me sold on them, how much for the Hawkwind arrows?" she asked, already reaching for her coin pouch.
