"Strength in numbers," I muttered. "Well, Avarice, it's not about comparing you and him. It's about loyalty to existing agreements."
She nodded. "For your sake, I hope Dragonslayer appreciates yours."
I raised my eyebrow. Were we already so much friends that Avarice worried about my wellbeing? I doubted it. I had nothing to reply with, so I just shrugged and reached for another biscuit, only to find my plate empty. Damn, they had disappeared in a flash.
Avarice's eyes glanced to the plate where there were no biscuits anymore. Then she stood up. "Let's go to my study. I think a spoken agreement would be enough for our deal, but I would need my documents to recalculate your debt as you want it. Of course, the next contract will only come to power if you succeed with your part, which we still have to discuss."
With my tea already finished, I had nothing else to stay here for. It certainly wasn't the conversation. "Lead the way."
