She chews her bottom lip. "That's little steep for me."

She grins.

"You could haggle me down..."

"Hmm, maybe I have something you want?"

Her eyes flit to Elatra.

"I'm listening, dear."

Ah. She'll just.. back off?

That would seem to be best.

"Ah, if you'd like to take one of my books outside, I have a beautiful garden in the back. You could read there."

She selects one mostly at random and heads off.

And with that out of the way, they can head upstairs.

She tells her guest about the construction of the house as they walk. Sefi will understand fairly little of it, but that's not very important.

They arrive at a spacious bedroom. Her nupperibo waits outside the door.

She smiles toothily.

"Have you done this before?"

"Um, well..."

She presses a finger to Sefi's lips.

"Don't worry, I can be gentle."

They retire to the bed.

Sefi's pretty good for a beginner, with just a little prompting.

Then they'll have quite a nice time.

"I think I can offer you a discount," she says when they've finished.

"I suppose I'll need something on the books...ten gold within your budget?"

"I can do that."

They can get dressed then.

Sefi's host is very professional. She gets right back to business as soon as they leave the room, not a hair out of place.

Back to the living room, where she offers her the box.

"I'll just need a signature here, and then you'll be set. You can invite your friend back in, she's been waiting long enough." 

Sign sign.

Elatra has become surprisingly absorbed in the book.

She hands over the box.

"It was very nice doing business with you."

"Yes."

They depart.

"Satisfied?"
