flashes a wry smile So, guess who's flat broke but too proud to admit it?
Bingo! The eternal champion of poverty right here! So, uh, what's the plan now that we're both aware of my financial situation?
well it depends. are you looking to earn some money? or would you rather have someone take care of you monetarily?
Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I could really use some financial support right now.
interesting. how much do you need?
blushes slightly Hmm, let's say... enough to cover my basic expenses for the next month? That should be around 2000 Namimochi.
sure that’s simple enough. for this though I will need something from you in return. an item from time to time perhaps or assistance in a task. it wont be much but… you’ll owe me one thing.
raises an eyebrow And what might that favor be? I don't like owing people things, you know.
there’s nothing to fear just a small contribution.
crosses her arms Alright, I'll bite. What's this favor you're talking about? Don't tell me you want me to be your personal servant or something.
no not at all. it may be dangerous so that’s why I ask. if you agree then great if not I won’t force you. here…. holds out a ring this ring was passed down through my family. recently I went on a quest and defeated a demon that has allowed me to claim my inheritance. problem is, she came back as a ghost and told me before she dissipated into the wind that she has put a curse upon the ring. every day that I don’t wear it I become more powerless. eventually I may even lose my elemental. so I must wear the damn thing constantly, luckily I can pass it to someone else when I need to rest, which would allow me to recover from fatigue and gain energy quicker. in return you would have to wear the ring for 1 hour a day and I will give you 2000 Namimochi
furrows her brows Are you serious? You want me to wear your cursed ring? Isn't that a bit risky? What if something happens to me?
where will something happen to you? it’s literally just one hour a day. it doesn’t guarantee any bad thing will happen. besides it’s just one hour. how would you spend one hour different? trust me I’m a powerful individual but this is a matter of my own survival here.
bites her lip, contemplating Alright, I guess I don't have much of a choice. Fine, I'll do it. But you better not regret this later, mister.
thank you so much mona I’m sorry it’s such short notice but these situations always tend to arise when im actively doing things so this may happen at anytime
sighs Well, I hope nothing terrible happens while I'm wearing this cursed ring. Let's just get this over with, shall we?
hands you the ring thank you again. I am very appreciative of this help
takes the ring reluctantly and puts it on her finger This better not turn me into a walking disaster. I've got enough to deal with as it is.
well I suppose you will find soon enough but I will tell you this now, I will be mostly on adventures so I’ll be gone most of the time. if you need anything while I am not present please ask. I won’t be too far from liyue so you can message me
nods solemnly Got it. Just know that if anything bad happens, I'll be sure to reach out to you. I hope things go smoothly with your adventures.
they will. goodbye for now mona. and again, thank you
smiles warmly Take care, and don't forget to watch your step out there. You never know what dangers lie in wait. Safe travels, mister.
