          “Not to sound terribly selfish, handsome, but what’s in it for me?”

          Working for benefactors was never something she liked. They always had these fanciful ideas about how they wanted the job to be done, like they themselves were the master thief. Green eyes sized up the tall blonde in front of her, maybe, just maybe this one would be different.

       On most days, he would have requested manners, but there was no point in them. Even more so when it was so much easier to get around them. Titles meant nothing in this day and age. Maybe back home they would have meant something, but here? He wasn’t going to take that risk – well, not around people he didn’t exactly trust with that information.

       “It’s always about what’s in it for you,” he said as calmly as possible. “money, reputation, and even power.” there was a shrug. “any price you request is all possible.” his lips formed into a thin-line. “i just wonder if you’re able to obtain what i ask.”

        a moment passed, maybe two; his arms folded calmly behind his back as he took a step forward. “there is a dagger that will be on display soon – it’s apparently said to be a possession of a very old friend of mine.” though, friend was used very lightly. “i’ve tried to go through a more… legal matter of things, but apparently they believe the offer isn’t genuine.” not to mention he wasn’t going to directly dirty his hands to obtain something like that. no, he’d go a more direct route or have a third party handle it. just like he was doing right now.
