00:30Unexpected circumstances
00:32I recently learned of a collector in Nashatown who, due to financial concerns, has been obliged to offer a pair
00:39of ancient coins for sale
00:41I'm told she's a little eccentric and doesn't reply to letters, so I came out here myself to see if
00:47I could arrange a deal
00:49I needed to come to town anyway to pick up some supplies, so I thought I'd pay her a visit
00:54on the way
00:55Unfortunately, she doesn't appear to be home
00:58Where's the pity?
01:01It's just a little hobby of mine
01:03Everyone has something that tickles their fancy, am I right?
01:06For me, it's old coins and gemstones
01:10Time is the best filter
01:12Anything that can make it through the sieve of time is almost guaranteed to be of good quality
01:19The style, pattern, and condition of a coin convey a lot of information
01:23They can tell you, for instance, how many moons it has seen before finding its way into my hands
01:30Think about it
01:31A coin may have passed through 10,000 people's hands, brought them happiness or sorrow, and witnessed a multitude of
01:39moments in their lives
01:41The weight of time it contains is far heavier than its appearance would suggest
01:47It is a witness to the past and something that has value in the present day
01:51Which makes it more than worth collecting
01:54These coins have been stuck in my mind these last few days
01:59What do they look like?
02:00What stories can they tell?
02:03If I can't meet this collector, I fear all desire to return home shall desert me
02:09Look at me
02:10Rambling on about coins without a thought for the friend standing by my side
02:16Let me think of a more interesting topic to make up for boring you just now
02:21Ah, yes
02:23Recently, I purchased a beautiful azure gemstone from a Fontanian merchant
02:28It had long slumbered at the bottom of the ocean until being recovered just some days ago
02:35I was told it was once embedded in the sword of a champion duelist at the Court of Fontaine
02:40While another story claims it was a pirate cruise prized treasure
02:47That's exactly what I thought
02:48Whenever a merchant starts waxing lyrical and weaving tales
02:53It's usually a sign that they don't have faith in their wares
02:57Fortunately, I'm very good at appraising a gemstone's true worth
03:02Even if its owner hasn't the faintest idea what they're holding
03:07Please, allow me to invite you to my residence once more
03:11I have a feeling you'll appreciate the gem itself
03:14And I'll be waiting for you
03:26This collector must be a busy person indeed
03:46I have a feeling you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see
03:48you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see
03:48you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see
03:48you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see
03:48you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see
03:49you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see
03:49you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see
03:51you'll see you'll see you'll see you'll see you
