The protection half? Already yours, kid.

[Indulgence produces a clip-ob brooch, golden with a blazing red gem.]

Fancy piece for a man's suit collar or lovely hair accessory for an equally lovely lady. Anyone would think it just came from the costume hall.

[Buuut...]

Two-piece item, two-piece favor. Let me know when you've got that recruitment task done and we'll get you that alert.

[selfimmolates]

[maybe he can cash in that favour from sasuke...

he'll take that brooch, natch.]

I'll see what I can do.

[divus]

[The brooch is now belonging to Ray!]

A pleasure doing business with you.

[...]

Call me curious. Who you planning on giving it to?

[selfimmolates]

... Does it matter?

[ugh, don't make him admit to caring.]

[divus]

Nope.

[THAT WAS EASY]

[selfimmolates]

Then you'll have to keep being curious, I'm afraid.

[divus]

Has anyone ever told you you're one real tough nut to crack?

[selfimmolates]

I consider it a part of what makes me an efficient worker.

[divus]

[Unable to help himself, Indulgence busts out in a merry round of laughter.]

Touche, kid! You got me there!

[selfimmolates]

[he just grins.]

In any case, a deal's a deal. I get you a follower next week, and you give me what I want?

[divus]

That's it. One follower, one ultra-helpful item.
