”A spyglass is a wonderful tool, but it runs 1,000gp right off the bat.”
”Oh…” Hamarr mutters disappointedly. ”Of course, I always wondered about that...”
He regards the gladius she pulls from the stock. ”Wow, yes. It’s beautiful… and dark. Mithral, you say?! It’s the most exquisite specimen I have seen in my, uh – in Crimm. I’ll take it, and thank you!”
When she turns to the subject of his bow, he replies, ”No, no. This is pretty much just something I use to taunt Halvar, who I see is also now in possession of a very fine weapon.”
”Thanks again, see you… soon…” he says regrettably hastily, hurrying after his siblings as they leave the shop.
Hamarr catches up.
”Pecker?” Hamarr grins. ”Oh, no wait… It’s Peco.”
He regards the gladius she pulls from the stock. ”Wow, yes. It’s beautiful… and dark. Mithral, you say?! It’s the most exquisite specimen I have seen in my, uh – in Crimm. I’ll take it, and thank you!”
She hands it over and collects your payment, largely in platinum. "Nice coins. You've done well of late."
”Thanks again, see you… soon…” he says regrettably hastily, hurrying after his siblings as they leave the shop.
”Bye!” she stands and waves as the handsome young man dashes off to rejoin his family.

Correct, Volset Peco. However it’s suppertime, and he’s likely not in his shop until morning...
...The sun rises blearily, and an early morning light rain pattering on your windows. It's March 7, a Friday. You meet with your siblings over breakfast near Mr. Peco’s offices. In this case they have croissant style bread with a variety of savory, and a few sweet, stuffings - as well as several hot caffeinated drinks.
There are no chairs, just several high tables that you're intended to stand around as you eat and drink. For all that, the place has a nice vibe to it, and the food is excellent. You’re munching away, when you see Mr. Peco’s assistant, Briken Pipa coming into the shop.
He places a largish order at the counter, and will depart with his pastries without noticing you, unless you intervene. Also feel free to chat among yourselves over breakfast of course! Caution - the place is busy, so lots of possible eavesdroppers.
Halvar walks up to Briken and inquires, "Mr. Pipa. Good to see you. Can I buy you a coffee?" Can I? Yes, not that broke yet.
"Is Mr. Peco in his office today? We were hoping to speak with him."
"Is Mr. Peco in his office today? We were hoping to speak with him."
"Yeah," Olf says, smiling. He's not offering to cover the free coffee, but trying to be friendly and normal, which if course he is.
