flora
Flora, who had over the season in Torchline learned how to be a very good barterer, was able to disguise her relief behind an expression of thoughtful consideration. "Hmmmm," she hmmmmm'd as if this was more than she'd expected to have to pay.
Turning to Tal, Flora folded one arm across her chest and twitched her lips back and forth. "Well, since you did go to an awful lot of trouble on my behalf..." Letting silence slip between them, Flora eventually nodded. Dramatically. "Yes. I can do that for you." She agreed as if he'd twisted her arm. In reality, this came much cheaper than she'd expected and Flora was nothing but delighted.
Releasing her arm, she held out a hand towards the courier. "Please doing business with you, Tal."
