Calvin too out the rest of the sucrose from his back sack there was only enough for two more reactions. Calvin hoped that it would be enough. His other hand rested on his knife he had never used his knife untill know, but he carried it just for what he need now. As the men entered the temple Calvin watched Sti.
"Jitts you old fool get up here I brought you some ale." One of the merchants spoke up as Calvin noticed Sti’s eyes take focus. He began to notice Sti did this when ever preparing to use physical authority. Fortunately this was the second time Calvin noticed this. First with the battle with Jasper and now.
So i was right about him not wanting to kill me "Jitts? Jitts get up-" Calvin’s thoughts were interrupted by the merchant. Calvin took focus himself and tossed the sucrose at the nitrate resulting in a cloud of smoke developing. As Sti was stealing their weapons Calvin snuck through the cloud to the entrance doorway, cutting the merchant purses on the way. As the cloud disappeared Sti appeared next to him and Calvin stood as tall as possible.
Let the act begin “Jitts is dead and you might be too if you act to rashly” Calvin’s voice entered command mode.
“Wha-, What?!” The merchants spun around to see Sti and Calvin. Sti was pointing his undrawn bow as the head merchant. Calvin thought this was curious in why the bow was not drawn and arrow notched, but he knew now was not the time to show this curiosity.
“Don’t bother calling for Jasper, He is dead too” Calvin still stood tall and strong and you could start to feel the tension between Calvin and the Head merchant. Before the merchant could speak Calvin started again. “Raul? also dead. You are from the Lhavit Trade Brotherhood, correct?” Calvin had noticed an insignia on the sabers Sti picked up that read LTB with the common symbol for trade, the scale. The head merchant merely nodded with his mouth still open, nut Calvin refused to let them speak, “How do you think they, or the Shinya, would feel if they knew some of their merchants were doing back alley deals with thieves and smugglers?” The merchants said nothing, but Calvin noticed their faces were still astonished. ”I’ve heard that the Shinya can rip off your limbs from 200 ft away and that Alius Tanka can take down entire armies in a second.” With this Calvin began to grin a devilish smile. He glanced up to see the fear begin to appear over the merchant’s faces including the head merchant. “Way I see it is you are the head of this operation now and if you want us to keep quite than we would be glad to if you buy all this copper off us.” With this Calvin pushed over the open trade container and all the miscellaneous copper items fell out.
“What do---” Calvin cut off the merchant’s question with him filling the crate with Kinas
“I suppose this will do” Calvin complained mockingly. “My associate and I will be leaving now, and if you dare follow us” Calvin’s eyes narrowed into a glare. “You know what will happen.” With this Calvin lifted his box of Kinas and began to walk out of the temple, Sti followed.
On the way up, along with avoiding the deep snow while balancing the Kinas, Calvin considered his partnership with Sti. There was no getting around the fact that they worked well together and frankly Calvin liked Sti all around as an associate and a friend. “They are going to be caught anyway the Shinya are notorious for cracking down on criminals.” This was both explanation and advice. Calvin remembered his time at the carnival. He thought about how good it felt to intimidate those merchants, but he is starting to realize that he wasn’t making many friends in his time at Lhavit. The Shinya and one of the Largest Lhavit trading companies already didn’t like him and really Calvin didn’t like anything about Lhavit right now ether he heard stories of Lhavit being the capital of both Magic and religion, but so far it looks though religion rules while magic struggles to survive. Calvin turned back to Sti. He was focused on the gates.
Calvin decided that they will divided up all the Kina’s in his shop.
