-Summer 11th, 513AV--
On a whim, Nat had decided to try something else new... She wanted to learn how to fight, though she wasn't quite sure why. She'd seen people use the Suvai... sparring with them in pairs, and she found it intensely interesting. So much so, that she wanted to learn how. But before she learned... she actually needed a Suvai. Normally they were wielded in pairs, but she didn't think she had the skill --or hand-eye coordination-- to do that. It was best to start with one, right? One thing at a time. When she felt that she was getting better... then she'd buy herself another.
This was what had brought her to Heart of Steel, the weapons shop in Mura. The Konti had never been in, but she'd walked past many a time. She'd seen the various weaponry that filled the shop through the window, and had found it kind of impressive. And a little bit scary. Still, she entered the building, trying to be optimistic about the whole thing.
Inside, she found the shop owner sitting at a desk, sharpening a pair of daggers. The woman looked up with a smile, and greeted her customer warmly. "Hello, how can I help you?"the Konti asked, carefully examining her potential customer. Nat stood there slightly awkwardly, attempting to frame an answer to the question. "I was looking... for a weapon..." she muttered, thinking that it was a slightly obvious answer. The shop owner simply nodded at the girl, seemingly thinking on something.
"I think the best weapon for you... would be either daggers... or Suvai... "she informed the younger, with a sharp nod. Nat thought on this, happy that one of the potential weapons was the one she wished to try. Daggers did make sense though, since she was a chef, and used them often during her cooking. "Which will it be?" the weapon smith asked, watching with slight curiosity. The younger Konti thought, then decided to go with her original plan. "I'd like a Suvai please... just one. I don't think I could handle two" she admitted shyly, which was answered with a smile.
The shop owner nodded again, and left her desk. She picked out a single Suvai, and handed it to Nat, who stared at the weapon in amazement. They'd always been particularly interesting to her, made of spiraling horns, almost like a work of art... she grinned and looked up at the older Konti, who mirrored the expression. "How much?" she asked, slightly worried that it would be out of her price range. She had nearly 90 gold mizas however, so she doubted there would be a problem. "15 gold mizas please!" the weapon smith answer politely, and Nat handed over the money. It seemed like a reasonable amount, especially for something so beautiful....
