Khalash looked up, his eyes reflecting a mix of frustration and concern. "Ah, Mielle, I'm in a bit of a bind. Some of the items I purchased from a supplier turned out to be faulty, and I've arranged a meeting with them to get a refund. Unfortunately, I can't make it myself, and I need you to go in my stead."
Mielle raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "Faulty items? That's a rarity in your enchanted emporium. Sure, I'll play errand mage for you. What's the plan?"
Khalash explained the situation, handing her the questionable crystal. "Here, take this faulty gem. You'll find the sellers at the Givenchy Bazaar. Convince or threaten, just make sure they understand we don't accept broken items at the Mag Drug Magic Shop. Get my money back."
