[Watches the show of ores with curiosity - occasionally adjusting his glasses and leaning closer to get a better look. When the stranger produces the stack of rare metal, however, he picks one of them up - holding it close to his face to examine.]
Hm— “rare metal” is a sort of blanket term I’ve heard shippers use liberally in small towns such as this one and the surrounding area— it’s rare to find anything much more malleable or profitable to sell than, say, gold or diamonds in these locals mines, you see? So metal of exceptional quality tends to be lumped together, shipped out, and sorted based on efficiency of use somewhere else. Let’s see—
I believe what you have here is palladium— but without time to dissect it and test its make-up, I can’t be quite sure. It would certainly fetch a good price if you shipped it, however.
Oh really? [Rubs the back of her neck, before giving him a shrug] I think it's really interesting to be able to find all these kinds of things in the same mine...I mean there's some I haven't even heard of...Wonderfuls? [Compresses her lips as confusion settles over her face from the word. Her brows raise as he continues] Diamonds? Yeah, I find those all the time...pink ones too [Rummages through her bag again] I might have some in here if you want them, I have no use for them unless they're in a silver band. [Chuckles at her own, sad joke] but- [Looks up at him curiously] Well, do you wanna dissect and test it? Is that a thing you do? It'll just collect dust in my storage cabinet otherwise...
