the dwarf could tell the alpha lady wasn't exactly thrilled with her. but this was what Dutch had to look forward to; bartering and trading and using her wits to work better. some people may not like you and she didn't rightly give a care. it was a learning process. one she was half grumbling about and half excited about. and though the other woman looked at the gem with some interest, she was more focused on something else entirely. a good cape. armor. leathercraft. that was probably better than shooting around in the dark, swimming without a proverbial paddle. an idea was better than nothing. "ja" she'd reply easily "I suspect you have a pelt to work with then?" because she wasn't exactly built for hunting down large animals. she'd need help - and that wasn't something she ever did ask for. she only hoped the alpha knew that she needed to provide the materials so Dutch could work with 'em. she'd reach out, pulling the gem to her body once more. whelp, that was a bust. but she did have an idea. "orders - specific orders - need materials. that takes time to gather. tell you what, I'll polish and mold this gem as a brooch and you give me a hide." but before the other woman could go on, Dutch added in shrewdly; "the brooch is free. consider it an investment; if the other packs see it, you tell them where it came from. my band gets more business, ja?" she gave a small wink "the cape's on the house too. but the armor will cost ya. how about some meat? a few tender flanks of meat for some battle armor..." it sounded like a good deal to her. she was literally giving away her crafts for meat. meat was easier to come by with when you had a pack. but as nomads, food was scarcer. "but I'll wait until you see the finished cape before you order more. gotta know the worth before you commit." |
