"That's it?" What should have been a look of smug victory turns sour as Vesper scowls down at the cripple, his voice incredulous and his brows pinched together. No doubt he looks every part the asshole that Niki thinks him to be to anyone watching (though Vesper can confirm that no one in the little cafe really cares much about the gimp or the too-tall foreigner), not that the demigod cares in the least. "For god's sake, no wonder you're too chicken to leave the Greatwood when you can't even be bothered to try and find your way outta bein' ripped off. You're a cripple in a public place. Odds are someone would give a shit if you yelled out you were bein' robbed." And if no one did? Gods, all the more reason Vesper couldn't understand why the boy wouldn't take him up on his offer.
Bristling with annoyance whereas Niki seemed merely to internalize his, the demigod reached into a pocket to withdraw several coins stamped with Torchline's insignia. Tossing them onto the table, the payment was for more than double what the going rate on the two hairpins would have been at the market, much less what Niki might charge privately. "For a second set. You can send it to the Marin house in Torchline."
