The salesperson took out two or three fountain pens and placed them in front of her, introducing the brands, the history, and which type of person each brand of fountain pen was suitable for.
Jaylene Ziel had no prior knowledge of fountain pens and wasn't planning to start learning now, so as the salesperson went on and on, she was quite confused and couldn't really grasp any significance.
"Give me the most expensive one," Jaylene said to the salesperson, "I don't want to know about the others. Understanding them is useless since I don't write with fountain pens myself."
She had practiced calligraphy but hadn't studied fountain pens; she did, however, have a certain understanding of brushes, especially ink—she knew that Parker's vintage ink was the best.
The salesperson gave her a look, said nothing more, and immediately handed her the most expensive fountain pen they had.
