Jabari thinks for a moment before responding.

"So, you want quite a few septims for this. Name your price."

"This will likely take around five days. The materials, including silk, would probably cost around 1500, plus another 500 to 750 in labor, depending on how ornate you wish it to be. I suppose I could grab some silk for you, at these prices, so long as you name your colour preference. Do these terms agree with you?"

''"Yes, and make it purple! Only the finest for my good friend, Hhirdfbit!" Jabari punctuates this with a kiss. Well, an attempt at one. He goes tumbling down the steps, rather.''

''"Hope that didn't hurt, milk-drinker!" shouts Eorlund. "No hard feelings. It's just that you're not my type, and I have a wife regardless. If you get me the money before sundown, I'll begin work on it tomorrow." Jabari ponders this. He has quite a bit of, ahem, inheritance money, but it'd be a shame to spend so much of it in one place. His old steed is rather slow and creaky-boned anyways. Steady, though, albeit that's not always a good thing. His father once said to never trust camels of Hammerfell, as they never show signs of exhaustion, instead keeling over and dying with no warning. This horse is much the same way. Besides, he's not carrying loads of cargo - speed and an aptitude for the mountains of Skyrim are much heavier concerns. As most horse owners are merchants or the sort, they'd likely be a tad cheaper, too.''

''By sunset, he has a new horse in the stable, and money in Eorlund's hands. He heads to The Bannered Mare (how appropriate) to spend the next few days. It's a few rounds of drink past dusk by the time the local proprietor notes there are a few things to be done.''

"I see you've left the guard, Jabari. Still, while you're here, I could use a capable individual to help out. Tell you what: Chop the wood for the fire and keep the guests from getting terribly unruly, and you can have free room and board for the duration of your stay."

Jabari gives a beaming smile.
