Skellig rummages in his bag a moment as to come up with the requested amount - he knows it is a bit 'high' (Kreyu had spoken to him of the practice of haggling, and he has done so where appropriate) but has no intention of haggling for anything here. Not with the sheer amount of wealth they took from Heka's hoard - there is simply no need. And he is quite pleased with this special find, knowing how much Kreyu will enjoy it (he hopes!) when he gives it to her later.
