Taurion watched the tension around him as the trading commenced. The talk of money and payment that passed between Fin, obviously the trading expert, and this man was unbelievably fast. The two seemed to nearly be trying to out-talk the other. It was as if the one was trying to con the other, but as both seemed to be equally as slippery in personality when it came to trading, they seemed about evenly matched.
In fifteen minutes, however, the discussions came to a halt. It had seemed that the palace had made certain arrangements with this trader, however the man seemed to deny all promises Fin claimed he had made. The two argued over prices, promises, and, ultimately, pride, in their discussions of business.
As Taurion saw the conversation get more heated, he inched his hand towards his bow, ready to strike if the need arose.
The conversation appeared to escalate to full heat of argument. Taurion listened to the loud talk of the Man and the Elf, the latter of which was showing a side that Taurion had never seen from his jovial friend. Tension mounted as the others got uneasy, as the trader seemed unrelenting in his prices for his precious wine and ale.
