Help
Hey guys. English is not my native language, so I'm having some difficulty reading the series. Anyway, in the third book (page 77) there's a sentence I didn't understand. Two Malazan soldiers (Picker and Blend) are talking with a travelling merchant. They want to buy a torc. They ask him the price. He tells them. Picker turns to Blend and says these:
"My heart weeps," Picker said. She glanced over at Blend. "Who'll miss it?"
The soldier shrugged.
"Rustle up three columns, then."
I don't understand the "who'll miss it?" part. What does Picker mean with this? Who will miss what? Can someone enlighten me please?

Who will miss the money that they have for military purposes? Who's keeping track of the accounts that they might be scared of?
Then get the money, three columns worth.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.
