"You know what," Gale said, scratching his forehead. "Leave the Gravboots for now... I need to tune it to have a better result."
Dimitri was reluctant to leave behind the most interesting item among the gear, but he had to. Gale would keep them wondering about it for months before he would hand them one.
The discussion went as well as it could have. The only thing that kept the group from Dragonforge interested was the Gravboots. For some reason, they were unwilling to commit to upgradable gear. Perhaps their earlier failures made them disgruntled, preventing them from seeing the true worth of the product.
And they couldn't even see that without testing it in their lab. Ultimately, Gale had to give them one whole set to tear apart and extort all the secrets as they wished. Hopefully, they would start talking soon. Because even if they were unable to extract all the secrets, they would be interested once they truly found out the true value of the gear.
