[soulus]

No.

But I wouldn't say no to it.

[dawnblushed]

No way! If I'm going to buy something from you, it'll be at a fair price. I'm not overpaying.

[soulus]

As long as you don't underpay, there won't be any issues.

[He can feel a little bummed out about losing out on a soul, though.]

[dawnblushed]

...do people try to underpay you often?

[It sounds like he's got some experience with "issues".]

[soulus]

There will always be difficult work that pays little.

[dawnblushed]

...it sounds like you need to get better clients.

[Yona you literally paid him for information with a keychain that had your name on it.]

[soulus]

[He looks at Yona.]

There will also be easy work that pays well.

[dawnblushed]

Huh... I guess that might help make up for it.

[soulus]

In the end, the sums balance themselves. What's important is finding work.

[dawnblushed]

Have you had much luck finding work since we got here?

[soulus]

I've found some.

[dawnblushed]

Oh! Good for you.

[soulus]

Does the state of my work interest you that much? It shouldn't.

[dawnblushed]

Why not?

[She doesn't really answer his question, but also. It's kind of an answer to his question! She's curious. That's why she keeps asking.]

[soulus]

It has no bearing on you. Knowing whether I've been busy or not does nothing for your learning. Simply put, it's a waste of your time.

[dawnblushed]

Not really. It just means I'm learning about the type of work you do, and I think it's good to know about lots of different things.

[soulus]

I will do anything. There's nothing else to say.

[dawnblushed]

But, what sorts of things have you been hired to do here?

[soulus]

That's confidential . . . however, most of the clientele have sought information of some kind.

[dawnblushed]

Oh... that makes sense. We all want answers right now, so you could make a lot of money by selling information.

[soulus]

You can barter what you know as well.

[dawnblushed]

I'll keep that in mind.

[Maybe she can barter for friendship if she learns plot deets.]

[soulus]

Please do.

[Good luck, Yona.

If she can learn to barter with all that she has at her disposal, she'll be able to pay him better in the end. It works out.]

[dawnblushed]

...so, what brings you out here, anyway? Is it for your work, or were you just looking around?

[soulus]

Gathering information is work. It's also good to be familiar with one's surroundings.

What brings you here?
