I feel like a traitor

[janestarz]

Dilemma: what is worse, being a thief of your own wallet, or denying someone you know some income?
I faced this dilemma when Piet, my favorite merchant on the clothmarket, had linen for 5 euro a meter, and someone a few corridors away had it for 3. Sadly, the one who had the linen for 3 euro a meter didn't have any white, so I just bought firetruck red there, and the white with Piet. Still, it feels a bit strange.

I fear there might be another dress diary in this one...

I got some of both those colours the other day, to make myself a tabard for my Charm soldier NPC. It turned out nice, half blood red, half white.

And then it rained, and the red stained the white.

Nothing too dramatic, but there are a few pink spots on the white half of the tabard. My own fault, of course. I should have prewashed. Also, I'll have to wear it without washing, unless I want to look like a guard from the Kingdom of Candyfloss Fairies.

Good thing I've got plenty of both fabrics left over to make a new tabard out of when I need it.

I just couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud...hihi...

You shouldn't feel bad about not buying cloth from your favourite salesman. You have a business to run, you should make decisions that are best for your business. And it sucks that those decisions do not always include the people you like best, but you know what it best for your business.

And your own customers do the same: if they find a cheaper cloak somewhere else, they will buy it somewhere else, no matter how nice you are. So... don't feel guilty or anything.
