Cyn shrugged and his smirk deepened. "I figured a man of such high prestige as yourself, coming to see me personally, you must have seen a piece that took your notice. After you questioned the man in detail, you probably bought it off him at a reduced price by intimidating him with your guards. After that, you probably went around gathering up as many as possible while using underhanded methods. Once you decided my craft was something you wanted, you had me watched this morning until you figured out my craft isn't something you can just steal. So you came to me hoping to buy my current stock and then scare me into not making more or putting me under your employ. However, you also checked around and found out my only associate is the father from that infamous church. So instead of kidnapping him and making an enemy of the church, you decided to bribe me. I assume afterwards you would sell my pieces as collector items and make a good bit of money. Honestly, assuming all of that, a few hundred gold is a steal to just finish it all here and now, am I correct?"
