Visiting again

Next she visited the store once again to retrieve her sword and pay a visit to the twins.

Upon arriving she saw the state of the store and how poor of a condition it was in while the brother and sister were trying to tidy it up after the events of the night.

Ki arrived at the counter and was met with the young woman once again. "I am back. How is the progress with the sword?"

The sister replied looking a little guilty. "It is almost done but it will need a little more work before it will be completed. I am sorry but last night your sword was almost stolen, if you have heard what happened in the store you can guess just from looking. I will provide you with a discount for your troubles."

Although the sword had been sharpened it still needed a little more work to make sure that there was no problems with it and give it a final look over before handing it back to Ki.

Though it was fine as it was and would usually be given back to the owner upon completing the task, after having the weapon almost stolen they felt guilty about it so they decided to look over the sword once again and in more detail.

Although Ki did not have much knowledge on weapon making and maintaining them like the brother and sister she knew that her sword was somewhat special and if left in the their hands it may have a chance of reaching a new realm or grade surpassing its current state.

So she nodded and let them continue with their work, after all it was in her best interest for them to know more about the sword in a greater depth.

Ki thought for a while and the silence filled the store but subtle sounds could be heard in the back room which was the brother working.

After a period of silence she spoke again. "Have you given it some thought about whether you and your brother wish to join me and my families business in the future? I believe that in the coming days things will become more dangerous for you here and maybe so in the future. Although there may be a period of time that those behind what happened last night need to hide until things die down there are still others who may take this chance to approach you and after the safe period is over those behind last nights events may come back for revenge. If you choose to come with me you can begin a new life and be safe from these threats while starting up your families trade in a better environment."

It was a fact that they were in danger if they continued to stay within the city.

After stubbornly resisting in silence for so long, the sudden failure of the robbery attempt and those behind the scenes and supporting those actions being partly exposed had caused resentment to build up.

Now that those behind the incidents could not acquire the talented siblings and they were almost exposed they would definitely take revenge when the time is right and they would probably get away with it.

The sister thought for a while and then replied. "I will talk to my brother about this again and see what he thinks but I need to know more about the place where we would be moved to. My name is Far by the way and my brother is Lik."

Ki crossed her arms over her chest and replied. "No problem, my home is within a village close to the border but it is well protected and has many fertile lands. There is no shortage of food or water and my family have been merchants for a very long time. I am the successor or heir of the Bombyx family and my name is Ki and I have came here to establish relations and a working partnership with this cities merchant groups and to also recruit several talents. So I hope that you will accept my offer, if not then I will continue to come by to persuade you until you feel that you can trust me."

Far did not have much knowledge of what was beyond the border and had always lived within slate city so had no choice but to think about it carefully but after hearing Ki's sincere words she began to become a little tempted but restrained herself. "I will go talk to my brother, the sword should be done by now so I will go talk to my brother and check to see how it is progressing."

Ki nodded calmly and looked around the store while she waited and came across many of the creations of the twins. 'Their metal working skills are very high and their eye for details is very good but their biggest drawback is their lack of higher grade materials so they are not able to make full use of their skills to produce high grade weapons but once they get the support they need I am sure that they will quickly improve.'
