You think you can just take things from the counter like that?
Options
I'm sorry. Let me give that back to you.
Why not just let me have this small component?
Pawnbroker Handian
Hehe, I didn't mean to make things hard on you. After all, it's just a small component.
Pawnbroker Handian
But we're the Jeweler's Pagoda here, a pawnshop, and that's why I'm particularly sensitive to a good price — one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Pawnbroker Handian
What do you plan on doing with that small component then?
Options
I like to collect them for my inventory.
I trust that it'll be useful someday.
I'll scrap it for some pocket money.
Pawnbroker Handian
And let me guess: After no time at all, you've forgotten that you ever had anything in there at all, right?
Pawnbroker Handian
I'm right, aren't I?
Pawnbroker Handian
Someday... But right now, it's useless.
Pawnbroker Handian
I'm right, aren't I?
Pawnbroker Handian
This is pretty good, and you could maybe get about 5 credits for it?
Pawnbroker Handian
But let me tell you: It's far more useful than just that.
Pawnbroker Handian
How about this, then? Just now, a young man just passed by the door of the Jeweler's Pagoda muttering on about "Revenge... Revenge..." Go ask him. It might just be worth your while.
Pawnbroker Handian
If you manage to get something, come back to me and I'll tell you about the true value of this small component.

"Otherworldly Delights," how wonderful...
Howard
Are Draconic Tears real?
You seem pretty interested in Draconic Tears.
Howard
Hahaha, I really should correct this bad habit of talking to myself.
Howard
I've grown infatuated recently with the mysteries of Xianzhou culture. I've been obsessed with thinking about them...
Howard
In one of them, there are drakons in the Lunarescent Depths that can live for thousands of years — and their tears crystallize into pearls. It's enough to set the mind racing!
Howard
But the Scalegorge Waterscape delves generally don't let Outworlders like us go down, and the Draconic Tears out on the market are all too processed, so they lack that legendary authenticity.
Options
You sure are fussy.
Actually, I've got some Draconic Tears right here.
Howard
These are pharmaceuticals, but on the open market they always end up looking like sparkly jewels — all scrubbed up nice and pretty to pander to those hunting for legends. Or perhaps that's going a bit too far.
Howard
Me, I may be an Outworlder but I like local customs and use whatever the locals use. Super-clean and clear Draconic Tears are too fake for me, and aren't worth collecting.
Options
I've got some all-natural ones right here.
Same.
Howard
I just like natural, unclean Draconic Tears. Let me have a look.
Howard
Looks like we've something in common. Birds of a feather flock together, haha!
Howard
Seeing as we're so similar then, have you got any Draconic Tears for me?
Howard
I've seen too many Draconic Tears on the markets, so I hope you can show me something a little different.

A Bottle of Draconic Tears
Howard
Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen Draconic Tears inside a glass jar like this... And this is exactly the kind of authentic Draconic Tears that I'm looking for! Thank you so much.
Options
Hey, you gotta play by the rules.
Please could you reciprocate in kind?
Howard
What rules?
Options
The rules of barter.
Don't make me say it.
Howard
Ah, got it. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Howard
I didn't bring anything valuable with me today, so here's something very small for you as thanks.

I swapped it for a jar of Draconic Tears...
Pawnbroker Handian
I didn't expect you to score expensive pharmaceuticals like that from just a small component.
Options
This jar of Draconic Tears is really valuable!
Feels like I can exchange this with someone I know...
Pawnbroker Handian
It's valuable, but still not enough. I'll give you 1000 credits. That's my best offer.
Pawnbroker Handian
There's another way that's more profitable, and I suspect you know what I mean...
Pawnbroker Handian
You know very well that one man's treasure is another man's trash.
Pawnbroker Handian
This is my final hint.
Pawnbroker Handian
I heard that there's a Xianzhou aficionado who came all the way from the IPC. He might be interested in your Draconic Tears...
Sad Woman
Thank you. I'm heading back to Scalegorge Waterscape.
Options
About these Draconic Tears...
Sad Woman
My family is in the pharmaceutical business, and I've brought these Draconic Tears over from Scalegorge Waterscape.
Sad Woman
As average as they may look, they're molded to look like that. I heard discerning Outworlders steeped in the Xianzhou culture like it this way, but how am I ever going to find this kind of Outworlder around?
