Seeing as it's your wish . . . the value is quite high.

[chanteuser]

[ hmmm. ]

Alright then, two things.

[ she holds up one finger: ] After this, stop asking me to provide, or for payment for every interaction we have.

[ she holds up a second finger: ] I want to give your pet a hug.

[soulus]

[He sees now. He will never talk to this woman again after this encounter lest he break out in a cold sweat. No talk of payment? She's mad.]

. . . All right.

But he's not here with me right now.

[chanteuser]

[ JAE our CR. ]

... You look like I just asked you to swallow acid.

[ RUFUS. ]

Is he back at the inn?

[soulus]

[He would swallow acid for payment, but he's not allowed to say that anymore.]

Yes. Shall we head back?

[chanteuser]

...

You're not interested in all these stars?

[ she should be less surprised by this, but... hey. it's rufus. ]

[soulus]

They don't make me money, so I have no opinion of them.

[He's allowed to say this much.]

[chanteuser]

That's one way to drain the wonder out of something instantly.

[ she sighs, and unfolds herself from her spot in the chair. ]

Alright, let's go.

[soulus]

[And there they go. To Rupe!]

[chanteuser]

[ TO RUPE! Lead the way, grumpy money man. ]
