[ Fortunately, the stall she's guiding him to is just around the corner and a bit. If she could speak, two sentences would be enough to provide directions; but as she can only gesture and sign and hope for the best, leading him prevents any possible confusion. This gentleman reminds her a bit of Butcher — in that he has a face that looks it has been broken more than once. With that comparison in mind, she isn't jumping at the bit to make things more difficult for him.

But the outdoor shop offering armor may end up accomplishing that regardless. Thick charcoal coats of boiled leather and sheets of ringmail hang off of rudimentary wooden mannequins. Shell armor made of rawhide and seed lay across the table in sets of three: vests, knee protectors, and cod pieces of varying shapes and sizes. There are a few helmets, but they encase the entire head and appear to offer very little visibility or room to breath, and the metal is riddled with dirt and other impurities folded in during the smithing process.

There is a gleaming set of plate, the sort that storybook knights in large budget films would wear, but the sticker price is nearly insurmountable for anyone save the wealthiest of shoppers.

With an effacing little shrug, she gives the table a tap. Immediately, the armor seller is swooping toward Frank with the keen eye of a man desperate to make a sale, and starts pushing a boiled leather coat toward him. ]
