(A non-traditional sword then... That narrows down the options quite a bit. Based on the height of this unknown friend, a longer and heavier blade certainly makes sense, too which narrows it down even more. Yuuji picks the one that Hizen is thinking of.
The owner balks and Hizen closes his eyes. A custom order? The owner scoffs. A custom sword isn't going to be cheap. It'll be more expensive than these already made ones! He gives a price range and begins to list some different types of metal. Hizen has never even heard of some of these? It must be some hell specific ore or something. Regardless, it's all quite expensive! And it'll take time to make a sword, too.
Furthermore... he ain't making special deals for someone outside the clan. He doesn't know who Yuuji works for but it sure as hell ain't Toraguma.)
'S not asking for anything special. (Hizen groans and pinches between his eyes again,) Don't gotta get all fancy.
(The owner scoffs at Hizen. Custom orders are special and even regular members of the clan can't get them! Well, it isn't like Hizen's mentioned his own rank or anything. He dislikes bringing it up though. It reminds him of those bastards back in Tosa that used their ranks to get their way. As far as he's concerned, he didn't really do anything serious to earn the rank either but...
He looks over at Yuuji and sighs,)
Your friend. (Whoever the hell they are that's worth coming out to some sketchy shop in the middle of the night in Shuten territory--) Is he gonna take care of it? If he's gonna get it broke or thrown away, just get this one.
