As usual my drawings come with an extended caption or patter:
“Droid! Ask the honorable merchant how much for this one.â€

“Sir, the honorable merchant says five thousand, local currency. He says that she is the best specimen he has had all year. A rare beauty, and quite graceful.â€
“Tell the honorable merchant that he’s been sniffing spice. She’s a raw girl, untrained. You can still see the capture number on her braintail. Tell him I’ll give one thousand for her.â€
[tweeter twooter] [twooter tweeter]
“Sir, the honorable merchant suggests that you are joking. He could not possibly sell her for less than four thousand.â€
“Tell the honorable merchant that I’m not going to be paying twice what she’s worth. I’ll pay two thousand.â€
[tweeter twooter] [twooter tweeter]
“Sir, the honorable merchant insists that he could not sell for less than three thousand. He says that it is a matter of Guild honor with him.â€
“All right, tell the honorable merchant that if he includes wardrobe and restraints, I’ll pay three thousand for the package.â€
[tweeter twooter] [twooter tweeter]
“Sir, the honorable merchant accepts your offer, and says that it is a pleasure to do business with a noble-being such as yourself.â€
