I'm just being cautious. I've handled myself for this long.

[bisouled]

That's all well and good, but I think it's more dangerous to isolate yourself here. They're definitely trying to turn us against each other... those six, or the Realm itself.

[soulus]

I have no intention of isolating myself.

If you desire to reach a business agreement with me, I am more than willing to oblige; however, in doing so I will not expect any less nor more from you.

[bisouled]

[ business agreement... unbelievable. But she'll take it. ]

Is that your way of saying you want to work together?

[soulus]

If you're amenable to exchanging information or services for our duration in the Realm . . .

[Then he absolutely would like to work together.]

[ oh? this feels like a victory, too? She was expecting him to get all huffy and tsundere (she doesn't know this word) about it, but no. Once again, she looks pleased, though it's through a veil of tiredness. It's been a day. ]

Hehe... So you do trust me now. [ Fiora nods, then holds out her hand for a shake. ] I'm amenable to it, Rufus.

[soulus]

[It isn't about trust. But that's not important. He reaches out to give her hand a firm shake.]

Then we're agreed.

While I am a bounty hunter by trade, I will do anything as long as you pay me.

[ fiora says it is.

bounty hunter, though... she remembers reading something like that on his profile, come to think of it. She returns the shake, and, mercifully, lets him go. Not this time, affection week. ]

If you were anyone else, I'd be worried about you saying something like that out of the blue. [ but it's Rufus, so it's definitely meant in the blandest way possible. ] Unfortunately, I haven't got anything exciting to share with you. This was all as shocking to me as it was to everyone else.

[soulus]

[Not this time.]

It doesn't have to be now. All I ask is your mindfulness of the Realm's goings-on.
