Really? Thank you, Rufus.

[soulus]

Our contract rides on the competition's success. To that end, I will contribute as necessary.

[dawnblushed]

I'll work hard too!

[soulus]

[He stares. There's a respectable distance between them, so Yona isn't privy to what he feels as he starts slowly:]

Hard work should be compensated. For your efforts, I will answer a question about myself.

[dawnblushed]

...

You know, I wasn't expecting that, so I actually have no idea what I should ask. I'll think about it.

[soulus]

Please keep it simple.

[Don't ask about money.]

[dawnblushed]

...what's "simple" can be a little different from person to person...

[soulus]

If I disagree with your choice, I will defer the question.

[dawnblushed]

Hmm...

Is there anything other than money that makes you happy?

[soulus]

. . . I don't think about that.

[dawnblushed]

...you don't?

[soulus]

Happiness doesn't make me money.

[dawnblushed]

Does money make you happy, then?

[soulus]

. . . If it's a large sum.

[dawnblushed]

How large is "large"?

[soulus]

It depends on the job.

[dawnblushed]

So an amount that would make you happy for one job might not make you happy for another?

[soulus]

Yes. Hard work should be compensated with more pay.

[dawnblushed]

That's so straightforward.

[soulus]

When it comes to business, straightforward practices are better.

[dawnblushed]

I guess you're right!

[soulus]

Then I will consider the question, answered.

[dawnblushed]

Thank you. For answering my question.

[soulus]

. . . If that's all . . .

[dawnblushed]

...I guess that's all.

[sighs]

See you later, Rufus.
