He was accompanied by younger versions of him and they bowed low before you. You looked at the defendant, who was a stocky balding man with cold blue eyes and long arms. He bowed too, he seemed to be with one young brown haired teenager who did not look like him, surely an apprentice. You ordered them.
-Tell me who you are and why do you want me to settle your dispute. Who is the claimant ?
The man with yellowish skin and slanted eyes bowed low and said that he was. He spoke with a strange accent but seemed to be serious.
-The humble worm that is here before you is called Hai Su Yu, and these are my sons, To, Ken, Mino, Riti, Chara, and Kter, only Wa Tsist, my son who works in your guard, is not with us. We are all shoemakers, and our fathers back in Diver City were shoemakers, and their fathers too. Here we make shows for all the village, for all the lordship, even big things, shoes for all the people of a hamlet we do, yes. We even do boots for all the guards when Lord Random, may he feast in the heavens, demanded us. We even did boots for him, if you want shoes we can make, very good quality, I assure you.
You wondered if he will be praising his merchandise even longer when he continued.
-But unfortunately for shoes you need leather, and for leather you need tanner that does it's work and can give it ! And tanner here did not do this ! We had agreement with inhabitants of Rabit, they all are of the same family and they give gifts for the day of their ancestors who founded the hamlet... Old Rabit wanted to give shoes to everyone, two pairs for everyone, 42 pairs of shoes ! Big agreement, huge amount of money. I agreed, I said to Peta the Tanner, give me enough leather to make it in one week. We agree and he not gives !
You nodded, you did not want to mock the man for his way of speaking because you were conscious that some people struggled to understand what you said yourself. But you understood the shoemaker and turned towards the tanner. You asked.
-Well, so, it seems that you did not manage to give what you promised, what do you have to say ?
The stocky man answered.
