(They are now inside the store)

Lance: Go away. I'm not talking to you right now.

Theo: I am the one paying, lest you forget.

Lance: How the hell is LEATHER supposed to protect me!?

Theo: 'Twill help against Spyder attacks and other low-level foes.

Lance: Please don't mention that incident in public.

Theo: "That incident" is the reason we are here.

(There is a nearby display of leather gloves)

Lance: What are these--leather gloves? What the hell is that gonna do!?

Theo: You are lucky not to have my low-level armor.

Lance: Why? There's no way it can be any worse. What is it?

Theo: Clothes. Merely wearing any clothing counts towards our low-level mage armor.

Lance: ...Oh. Okay, I guess that's pretty bad.

Theo: At least I have no need to purchase armor right now.
