Petra &amp; Ashe C

Oh, is that Petra? Looks like she's out shopping.

Petra, Anna enter the scene

Hey there, young lady! Are you looking to buy or would you rather cry? Just so you know, there's no beating my prices!

Cry...beating... Are you wanting to battle me?

As in a battle of wills? Trust me, kid, you don't want to waste your life trying to beat me at... Huh?

Sword or bow... Which are you fighting with? You have skill with both, I am thinking.

Ashe enters the scene

Petra! What are you doing?!

Why are you fighting? Wh-what did she say?

I was asked to be coming here and do the shopping, but then this merchant gave me her challenge!

Huh? This has to be a misunderstanding.

Look, I'll help you. What were you trying to buy?

We are needing vulneraries. Many people make use of them and our stock is lowly.

Got it. Just leave this to me.

Come on, isn't that price a little high? Surely you can afford to go a bit lower.

Are you kidding? This is even lower than my usual bargain rate.

Really? Because the shop over by the gates is selling the same item for a little more than half that.

Guess I'll have to head back there, after all.

Hey! Let's all take a deep breath. Here's the deal. I'll give you...another 10 percent off. How's that?

Make it 20 percent and you've got a deal.

Hmph. You drive a hard bargain. Fine, 20 percent. But you better be grateful!

Petra, Ashe enter the scene

The shopping was successful. You have my gratitude, Ashe.

Not a problem. I'm used to this sort of thing.

Bargaining for prices in Fódlan is...complicated.

I am thankful for this bargain. Now the extra can be given back to our professor.

I had learnings about the customs of Fódlan. I have gratitude for that too.

Ah, I wouldn't call it a custom, exactly.

It's just a trick we commoners use to save money.

Efficiency with money is a wonderful culture.
