I got money... not much of it, but there's some. You gotta stretch a thing like that out, though, don't you?
[A few customers in the line behind her start making annoyed sounds, and Mercy steps away from the counter, still holding onto the shirt.]
I wasn't gonna say it in front of that seller, but their tailor here ain't much as they're paying them for if these are their prices. [She shows the shirt to Aelwyn, lowering her voice as she explains.] Seams is crooked here, and you got threads coming off. It ain't hard to hide or even fix, but $29? That's too high.
[She has no concept of whether that's too high. This place doesn't run on the marks she's used to, and something like this should cost a few marks at most given the quality.]
