By the time Liam and Tatiana finally reached the dwarf's shop, the morning had barely begun to settle over the city.
Liam slowed down as the familiar, miserable-looking shop came into view. The same crooked sign hung above the entrance, the same scraps of metal were scattered around the exterior and the same general feeling of neglect seemed to surround the entire building. It looked almost exactly as it had the day before, which made Liam wonder whether the dwarf had even bothered cleaning up the destruction they had caused. A faint smile appeared on his face as he noticed the others already standing outside the entrance. He walked toward them with his hands casually resting at his sides, his expression far more relaxed than it had been yesterday. "So you guys were waiting for us to arrive?" he asked with a light smile, glancing from Gregor to Leonid and then toward the others as though he had caught them doing something suspicious.
