Mevrit did not notice Seijin until he was making his way over to her to talk. It wasn't that she had been ignoring the presence that had been seated only a little ways from her just moments ago, but rather that she was far too engrossed in her own thoughts to pay attention to anyone. She certainly wasn't someone who would turn a person away, though, especially when they asked for her opinion on something she considered herself well versed on. The smile came to her face too easily as it was a well-rehearsed expression. A smile was all that took to put someone at ease and then buy a few minutes of their time.
"It depends on what you're using them for," Mevrit answered as she eyed the pieces of leather. Blue and green were visually more appealing to her, but in a practical place like Katila, no one had yet come to care for bright colors. "You should try and find a way to bring the blue and green out more. I wouldn't suggest using them on large pieces, either. Bright can be silly at times, and no one wants to be silly. Though, maybe the blue and greenriders would be partial to them." Seeing as she really had no idea what he was specifically wanting to hear out of her, Mevrit was bound to give her opinion on it all. It would probably be fine, if she knew how to tone down her criticism.
"Honestly, you're better off with the more natural colors. You'll get a greater range of interest, and appealing to the many instead of the few gives you a much better chance of turning a profit." Mevrit didn't quite realize how preachy she was coming off - she was just trying to give the young man a hand! "Again, the blue and green are perfectly fine in small quantities, but I wouldn't put too much stake in them. Up North I'm sure they'd do far better, but down here? Not a chance." Seijin had probably picked the wrong person to ask if he had wanted an easy choice or one that was more softly done. Mevrit had never seen the point in softening her words when it came to a matter of taste, and especially a matter of profit.
