Eeek! Who's there?! Don't you sneak up on me like that! ...Oh. It's just you, Silver. |
|
Mmm? Ah... Pardon me, Ruggie. A wave of lethargy suddenly struck, and I...couldn't resist a yawn. |
|
Why're you in the campus store if you can barely stand on your feet? Oh, hey! You've got a shopping list, too. So you got errands to run? |
|
Yes. On Fath—er, on Lilia's behalf. |
|
What a coinkidink! Mine's for Leona. Guess we both got high-maintenance upperclassmen running us ragged, huh? |
|
That we do. Hmm... Let's see. The things on this list are...over here, I think? |
|
Pffft! He's so out of it that it's kinda funny to watch. He seems so diligent, too. Maybe he stayed up late last night. Well, I better hop to it. I think Leona said he wanted that new drink that came out... Found it! ...What?! It's seven marks?! Who spends that much on drinks when water's free?! Man, princes and their money... I don't get it. But at least I'm not the one paying for it. Wait. ...Uh? Where's Leona's wallet? Did I forget to grab it from him? Oh... Yeeeaaah. He said he was going to practice for a change, so I gave it back to him. Maybe I've got enough...? Nope. Figured I wouldn't. |
|
Is something wrong, Ruggie? You've been standing there for a while now. |
|
Hey. You finished already? I just realized I forgot Leona's wallet, so I'm kinda in a pickle here. It'd be a pain to trudge all the way back to get it from him, but I don't have enough on me to buy what he wants, either. |
|
How much do you need? I'll spot you. |
|
Nah! That's fine. I'll figure something out. Hey, Sam! |
 |
Hey, hey! Running errands for the bossman again, my little imp? |
|
Sure am. Except I forgot to bring his wallet with me. Think you could gimme a special discount on this drink? |
|
Why not? You're a regular, so I'm sure we can work out a deal. How much you want it for? |
|
I knew I could count on you! It'd be great if you could sell it for, say...a mark? |
|
ONE mark?! Wasn't it seven? |
|
Sorry, but that won't fly. I'll do six fifty. |
|
One fifty? |
|
|
|
Lookit how much my wallet's crying. See? It's got practically nothing! |
|
Five. |
|
Lower! What if I swear to go on a wild spending spree with Leona's wallet next time? |
|
...What kind of spending spree? |
|
I'll buy a dozen of this drink at full price. |
|
Deal! Three fifty! |
|
You're the best! Here you go. Pleasure doin' business with you! |
|
You certainly know how to haggle. I'm seeing you in a whole new light now. |
|
Really? I was going easy on him, to be honest. |
|
Then you always do that with Sam? |
|
Only once in a while. Ain't nobody got time to haggle on every single shopping trip. I was just in a rush today, so I couldn't hound him too much. |
|
And what would have happened if you had more time? |
|
Mmm... Pretty sure I'd get him to sell me three for seven marks. There's no way he got 'em for anywhere near what he's selling 'em. If you ever end up out on the street, I can teach you the art of the deal. Since you're a classmate and all. Shyeheehee! |
|
Thanks. |
|
Uh, you're supposed to stick your nose in the air and say, like, "Me, living like a peasant? That'd never happen!" Boy, oh, boy. You really are out of it, huh? |
