Uh--

[ why does that sound so ominous ]

I suppose the question would be, ah, how much it is that I owe you... ?

[fateality]

I'm a little hurt that you don't quite recall.

Well, it did go up to about 150 gornaks. You do have it, don't you?

[starpact]

I told you, I just want to make sure we're on the same page!

I also don't... remember it being quite that much. [ ... ] What would you even do with that much of nothing?

[fateality]

Well, you seem to be lackin' a memory in a lot of places, friend.

Let's not fuss over the details of what I would necessarily do with the money. Instead, you should be more worried about what you owe.

But I think I can cut you some slack if you can think of another way to pay me, then I might be convinced to knock the amount down a little.

[starpact]

What's the exchange rate, here? [ and in a lower grumble: ] If there's even anything to exchange it to...

[fateality]

Depends on what you got in mind. Make me an offer, and I'll tell you what it's worth to me.

[starpact]

I.

[ ......... ]

I don't actually have much back in Oska, you know.

[fateality]

You're killin' me here, pup.

C'mon, give me something. You can tell me a story. Do a trick for me. Something.

[starpact]

None of those are particularly, uh-- I mean, none of the stories I know are too interesting, and...

[ jeez, he really would've played things differently if he had known fate would be so aggressive on collecting. ] Can't we say I owe you and leave it at that?

[fateality]

[DRAMATIC SIGH]

Fine. Tell you what: in the future, at some point, you owe me a small favor. That sound all right?

[starpact]

A small favor. [ emphasis totally necessary. ] That's. Well.

I'll agree to it, seeing as I don't seem to have much choice otherwise...

[fateality]

Much obliged. I promise to make it good.

[it'll be something shady, probably]
