Blizzar cicked his head to the side. Curious. Not so much as before. He had at least gathered something. The mine contained some sort of unearthly power. Magic, he would presume. The Arcosian almost wanted scoff. He had no true affinity for the mystic arts, aside from how hard he could punch it back at a caster, but there were many he knew who would pay good money for access to such power. Either for research purposes or more nefarious means, as long as it wasn't too dangerous Blizzar could find a buyer.
The only problem came with the Oni's refusal to sell. Blizzar wasn't particularly worried about that. Everyone had a price, after all. No, the worry came more from who he would aquire payment from. He knew plenty who would pay plenty for the arcane and fantastical...but he only knew of one who truly dealt in such things. Blizzar grimaced inwardly. The less he dealt with her, the better, though he could potentially stomach even dealing with her if it meant increasing his profits.
"Fair enough," Blizzar spoke aloud. "Once this barrier situation is resolved, I may have something that will change your mind. For now...I will simply leave it be..." the Arcosian trailed off, pondering for a moment before he added, "By the by, you must certainly love donuts to purchase so many! How often do you visit the shop?"
