“Come now, what’s money compared to friendship?”

“Let’s see...Everything?” she replied without missing a beat. “Otherwise you wouldn’t be asking for a deal.” 

[wrathofsithis]

“How about we make a deal?”

“And give you a cut of my profit?” Varasa placed a hand on her hip and inclined her head. “I don’t think so.”

[wrathofsithis]

“You don’t need to get involved. Just walk away.”

“Sorry pal, can’t do that,” Varasa pursed her lips and shook her head once, “walking away when the going gets tough won’t keep me clothed and fed.”

[wrathofsithis]

“Who said not to mix business with pleasure? Let’s talk this over with a date…”

“So long as you’re paying, I’d love to,” Varasa replied with a cheeky smirk and a wink.

[wrathofsithis]

“Far as you know, I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to you.”

“Oh really?” The womer practically purred, flashing him a devious smile. “And what makes you say that, darling?” She leaned forward over the table, propping her chin in the back of her hands and fluttered her eyelashes at him.

[wrathofsithis]

“You can sell me, but I’ll fight it with every fiber of my being.”

“By Molag’s hairy balls…” the womer exclaimed in a heavy sigh. “I have no desire to sell you. In fact, I want to hire you,” Varasa shook her head in frustration. “I need you to cause a scene. I’ll even pay you up front.”

[wrathofsithis]

“I think they’ve learned their lesson, you can stop hitting them now.”

“I agree with you, but sadly that’s not what I’m paid to do,” Varasa replies with a casual, unsympathetic shrug.

[wrathofsithis]

“We can run away together.”

“Oh?” A devious smirk tugged in the corner of her lips and she inclined her head. “And where would we go? A secluded tropical island perhaps, where we’d be all alone? Or further north where we’d have to huddle together for warmth,” she teased, her voice soft and sultry.

[wrathofsithis]

“Come on, let me help you.”

Varasa stopped what she was doing, letting out a frustrated huff. “If I do, will you keep quiet?” She looked over her shoulder at him with a raised eyebrow. The last thing she needed right now was some stranger to give away her position or distracting her.

[wrathofsithis]

“Please, let me go. I won’t do it again, please.”

Varasa held the girl firmly by the arm, glaring at her with deeply furrowed brows and a scowl. “Give back what you stole first,” she demanded, holding out a hand expectantly and waggled her fingers.

“Sweet mother, sweet mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear.”

[wrathofsithis]

“Come on, let me help you!”

“Nope,” was all the Dunmer said before she turned on her heel. She had already dealt with too much weird shit for one evening to want to add a ghost to that list.

[wrathofsithis]

“They don’t wanna pay? Burn their house down.”

The Dunmer shook her head. “They couldn’t pay in coin, but offered something of equal value. My business with them is done,” she told him with a casual shrug.

[wrathofsithis]

“How about we make a deal?”

Varasa narrowed her eyes at the man and crossed her arms over her chest. “What kind of deal?” She asked suspiciously, looking him up and down to see if she could gauge his character.

[wrathofsithis]

"It was simply a mistake on my part, it won’t happen again. I promise.”

Varasa clenched her teeth to keep from lashing out at the young woman. She seemed genuinely sorry, and while this had been a major inconvenience, it wasn’t reason enough to be cruel to her. 

“It’s alright, but I’ll hold you to that,” the Dunmer said, turning to look over at Nelle. 

[wrathofsithis]

“I think they’ve earned their lesson, you can stop hitting them now.”

“Unless you’re footing the bill, you don’t get to decide that,” she said curtly and shot him a stern look, pointing a finger at him.

“No…I’m not,” Halldis admitted, carefully helping the stranger over to the tree, “B-But I can help get you to one if you want. I’d rather not leave you on your own like this…”

Varasa eased herself down on the log, sitting stiffly as pain shot through her abdomen and chest, causing muscles in her face to twitch. “It’s appreciated, but you don’t have to do this,” she said weakly, straining to breathe evenly. Sure enough, it would be much easier to get back to town with a little assisance, but she didn’t know this woman.
