Slowly but surely, he was getting irratated by this man. His voice and expression were fairly neutral, though.
"Well, I wouldn't be able to make and sell all this stuff if I wasn't at least a mage, right?"

*He looks at him for a while more, then turns around and looks at the scrolls some more*
You have quite the collection.

He shrugged.
"Found most of it. Others, I've scribed myself. There's much, much more in the back."

Very impressive.
*He looks around and smiles, though the smile doesn't reach his eyes*
Very impressive indeed. I'm sure you'll have a nice business in no time, what with all the mages in town.

"That is, if I can compete with the competition."

Oh, I should think you can. There's always business for magic. Definitely in a place like this. All kinds of people come here. You'd be surprised.
*He takes out a scroll and studies it a while before putting it back*
Mages, sorcerers, Archmages, even Planeswalkers, or so I've heard.

"Actually, I'm not suprised. They call it a planar city, after all. Planeswalkers are a common sight, I'd say."

*He doesn't turn around, still browsing the shelves*
Oh, not so common that they don't attract a certain amount of attention. From all kinds of people.

He looked at the man for a moment, frowning.
"I don't see why they should attract attention. I daresay they aren't special."

Aren't they though? They usually have no small amount of power at their command. Power draws attention to it like moths to a flame.
*He puts a Cat's Grace apart*

"It is one thing that makes them stand out, though. Otherwise, they are just very, very skilled spellcasters."

Oh, I should say they are. Very highly skilled.
*He puts a Spell of Silence with the other scroll*
High skills and great power usually go together. A very dangerous combination, makes people very jealous. Or so I've heard really, I've never met a Planeswalker. Wouldn't want to be one though. Too complicated for my blood.

He snorted.
"Complicated? What do you mean by that?"

Oh, just all the power, the responsibility, you know. Having to watch your back all the time only to meet death from the front. People trying to use you for their own purposes. Complicated.

"Perhaps. Can't say it's different for any other adventurer though. And even the adventurer usually lands on two feet and avoids to be used and then disposed off. Planeswalkers aren't so special as people think they are."
