"Seems like you're not quite as fresh of an arrival as I thought, eh? And if you two are willing to help with the raiders, that changes everything."
Geraldo walks around the room at a brisk pace, and grabs the least-rusty machete, gives it a few strokes with a sharpening stone, tests the edge, and rummages around a bit more before putting it into a plastic sheath and a motley belt that looks like it's been stitched together out of rats.

Geraldo takes the goods from your side of the pile and steps away, tossing a length of cordage to Sam.
