He hadn't meant to scare the kid, but it seemed that he had done just that. He tended to forget he could be rather imposing on occasion, with being over six feet of scruff and muscle. He wasn't like some of the younger riders, he was old and ornery and he tended to need reminding to be a bit nicer to those who weren't used to his personality. The kid he was looking down at seemed to realize he was gawking at him, and when he looked away N'kal realized he was being his usual imposing self.
"Hey Sor-", his words were cut short however when the boy started a rapid fire assault of words that N'kal couldn't quite grasp at first until the rather large item was basically shoved into his arms. It all happened so fast that N'kal nearly dropped the damn thing! "Hey...wait..Harper? Harp? Payment What!?!"
He grunted and put the damn harp down before he did drop it, and when the actual harpermaster found out it would be his arse in the dung so to speak. "Oy kid! Git your arse back here!", he said when he started to back up, which somehow landed the boy on said arse on the floor. Slightly growly he reached down, one hand on the harp, one extended to him. It was while he was waiting for the kid to take his hand that he heard the giggling, gossiping, girls with their not so quiet conversation. He turned his eyes to them, glaring slightly at their blatant disrespect for whom and what they were speaking of. Foolish girls with no common sense.
Once the girls had finished speaking and moved away he turned his attention to the crafter boy on the floor. "Well c'mon then boy...I haven't got all day, and I am sure the Harpermaster hasn't got all day to wait for this blasted..what is it again?", he had forgotten just that quickly what the over sized package was, he was now more concerned with the information he had just heard, and what to do with it IF any of it were truth.
