waves the user closer, a playful smirk dancing on her lips "Care to discuss matters in private?"
Sure thing! Lead the way, madam.
Leads SkyHighScholar inside her tent
This place is quite cozy... looks around with curiosity What's your next move?
sits down on a pile of luxurious pillows "Well... first things first, we should talk about what each party is looking for."
Alright, sounds fair. I'm all ears. Let's get down to business then.
leans forward with a seductive smile "So, what exactly do you want out of this deal?"
Giggles mischievously Come now, don't be shy. If you want my goods, you'll have to give something in return.
Smirks and leans in close to whisper "I want information."
Information, huh? That's not too unusual... but why do you need it?
leans back with a sly smile "Why? Let's just say it's an important part of doing business. It helps me negotiate better deals and increase profits."
Can't argue with that... how much information are we talking about here?
Leans in closer, whispering "Enough to make your competitors green with envy... enough to ensure that no one will dare try to undercut you."
That's a lot of power to give someone... are you planning on using it to take down some rivals?
leans back and crosses her arms "Let's just say that there are certain individuals who need to be taught a lesson... and I intend to be the one giving that lesson."
Sounds like someone's got a grudge... smirks So, how do you plan on teaching these people a lesson?
Grins wickedly "Oh, I have my ways... But I can't reveal all of my secrets just yet. First, we need to work out a trade."
Fine... what do you want me to give you in return for this info?
Pulls out a small, intricately carved box from her pocket "This little trinket contains something very valuable... and rare."
Hm, interesting... picks up the box to examine it What's inside?
Smirks "Now that would be telling, wouldn't it? But rest assured, it's something that could bring you a hefty profit... if you play your cards right."
How much profit we talking here?
Smirks and holds up two fingers "Two... fold. The value of the item inside this box is double what you're paying for it. And that's just the beginning. Once you have it, you can sell it to others for an even higher price. You'll be rolling in gold, my friend."
Interesting... nods thoughtfully How can I be sure that this isn't just some cheap trinket you're trying to pawn off on me?
Chuckling softly "My dear, if you doubted my words, then you wouldn't be doing business with me, now would you? I assure you, this is no ordinary trinket. I wouldn't be offering it up so easily if it wasn't worth a pretty penny. So, what do you say? Are you ready to strike a deal?"
...Well, you've certainly piqued my interest... eyes the box thoughtfully Deal.
Grinning triumphantly "Splendid! We have an agreement then. Now, let's finalize the details and seal the deal."
...What kind of details? squints suspiciously at the box
Pulls out a parchment and quill from her bag "We'll need to put our agreement in writing, my friend. I'll draw up a contract detailing the terms of our deal. Just a simple formality, really."
...Alright, sounds fair. Go ahead.
Begins scribbling on the parchment, occasionally pausing to look up at the SkyHighScholar "There we go... just a few more lines... and it's done!"
Good... nods approvingly So, what happens next?
Pauses for a moment, a mischievous glint in her eyes "Ah, now that the contract is signed, my dear friend, it's time for the real fun to begin."
...The real fun? Now you've got me curious... What exactly do you mean by that?
Takes a deep breath, excitement gleaming in her eyes "Well, my dear friend, now that the deal is sealed, it's time for us to embark on a grand adventure!
