After the chill of his initial greeting and the gruffness of his response to Jigano's request, the bard hadn't expected Are to suddenly switch tactics and smile... but, as he recalled from their last conversation, the cobbler had a tendency to go swiftly from sad to happy, from rage to tears, and back again with little warning. Given how their initial interactions today had gone, he didn't trust that smile, but in the name of courtesy and tact he pretended he did, and smiled back when the craftsman said that it was possible to fulfill the lorekeeper's commission.
Jigano merely raised a brow at the finger that was held up, reserving judgment until he saw what the cobbler had in store. The satchel that was produced was indeed similar to the design he had asked for, and his skepticism fell away as Are proudly displayed. He nodded with admiration, ungrudging in spite of the source of the craftsmanship. "A fine piece indeed, and yes, very similar to what I would like as well. A fortnight sounds fair for the complexity of the project, assuming you have the materials that you need on hand...?" he asked tentatively, uncertain whether Are did have the leather available, given how many shoes the other other bag had taken. "What kind of animals do you get your leather from?"
