...Oh, honey.

[She's a thief but she has standards. Like trying real hard not to laugh, at the moment.]

I ain't that expensive, you ain't gotta worry. 'Specially where you've got proper need of it and it ain't gonna gather dust on some rich bastard's wall. Them I'd overcharge where I can get away with it, but you can cut that number down a bit and we ain't gonna have a problem.

... Oh.

[He laughs a little and rubs the back of his neck, more than a little sheepish.]

I really wasn't sure what'd be fair, to tell you the truth.

[The next number he writes down is, at least, definitely more reasonable.]

You're a nice kid, so I'll help you out a little--never start with your upper limit. It's a right tough skill to learn, but y' have to find the spot between 'so low it's insultin'' and 'here's my entire wallet, mate'. Takes practice n' research, so don't feel too bad 'bout it.

At least I'm learning this here instead of because I got fleeced later down the road...

Thank you, though, I'll work on that.

No kiddin'. That happened to a good friend of mine--great kid, but raised well off enough that he ain't never learned to negotiate for nothin'. Bought a weapon we needed without even askin' the price, an' lemme tell ya it was the kind of number that'd make anyone's fuckin' head spin.

[god love you, alphinaud]

Don't know if our mistress of coin ever let that one go, but he sure as hells learned. Takes practice n' caution, that's all.

[infezione]

Without even asking the price--

[Well, at least he's not that bad.]

Practice and caution... Well, I've got the time for the former, and I've got the latter in spades.

[Usually.]
