Just as Elizabeth had anticipated, the price of the moonstone-pendant necklace appeared to be too unrealistic to the point that even trying to strike a bargain with said jeweller would seem as though they just wanted to be tagged "stupid". Neither of them wanted this so they both walked away; Elizabeth and Oletha away from that place.
From observing how they left, the jewel trader felt saddened and adorned his face into a grimace which did not seem to bother Elizabeth even in the slightest.
After they had both walked a certain distance from there, Beth initiated a stop and said, "Oletha, how often do you go by that man's shop?" The latter shrugged, simply.
