Panel 1. A gothic sorceress enters a small magic shop, approaching the counter. The gothic sorceress explains her problem to the old seller. She shows her wand with a stone broken on it.  
Old Seller: Welcome! How can I help you?  
Gothic Sorceress: My magic stone is defective, I need a new one.
Panel 2. The old seller put a gem stone on the counter, the gothic sorceress is in shock.   
Old Seller: Alright, that'll be 600 gold coins.  
Gothic Sorceress: What?! It used to be 40!
Panel 3. The gothic sorceress thinks, the old man explains the price increase and a wider view angle show the shop full of Avian Intelligence Parrot.  
Old Seller: That's because of Avian Intelligence: we need these stones to make them.
Panel 4. The gothic sorceress tries to understand. The old man gives up; the angle is even wider showing more of AI Parrots, a huge pile of them.  
Gothic Sorceress: And you're going to sell all of these?  
Old Seller: What do you think...

Bonus: Timelapse

While I'm painting, Krita periodically takes a snapshot of the process. Here is a video compilation of all the snapshots for this episode, accelerated a lot (an episode takes between 10 and 16 hours to complete).
