"It depends upon the boots." Zevran begins laying in the finer details, the sweep of Beleth's hair, the tuft of Alistair's. "Leather boots from Antiva last quite awhile in the South, meant to be worn upon ships and hard tile alike. The longer something is meant to last, the better it is made? The more costly the boot. Most boots of Orlais are overpriced despite having only half decent leather- overstitching and embellishments in the shaft and along the toe are meant to make the price worthwhile. Sturdy Fereldan boots do not cost much if only due to an abundance of leather- and the fact that the soles wear through within a few years of walking."

"Yours-" He knows where it is her mind has gone "Were a gift. Think not of the cost or of favors owed. You gave your thanks when I offered them to you and have worn them well. That is all that I require."
