Well I'd probably be more inclined to ask if it was piecework before day. I guess I don't have any choice but to accept his terms.
I'll ask what his name is and what the rock is called.
I guess this is the raw rock and not the worked and polished material? Is it smooth or rough? Is there any patterning on it?

Well, I don't actually know and I rather not say if I did, so I guess I'll lie a little. I'll gesture that they're dead. That usually shuts down most conversations about the topic.
