Liam, his posture relaxed, "Let's cut to the chase. I need the resources of this black market for my own purposes as well. I propose we draft a contract, binding us to help each other."
Selene's eyes flickered with wary curiosity, "I doubt we can have fair contract, given your superior strength. Besides, in our dealings, we cannot use one under the banner of any organization, except perhaps it's from the Shroud."
Liam, folding his arms thoughtfully, offered, "What if we established a contract with an expiration date, after which its terms are null and void?"
Selene hesitated, "Could you give me some time to ponder this? I've only recently extricated myself from a rather unilateral binding contract."
As Liam mentally noted her words, he thought, 'Considering how Tropical treated her, i can imagine her life become hell after it.' Outwardly, he nodded, "Alright. Let's exchange contacts for the time being."
