The trader seemed quite surprised by my words.
"Wait, what? You'll buy her? You're not kidding are you? Because if you are, I could have you thrown out of here for that. No one here likes to waste time with people that aren't serious buyers."
I waved my hand at him, "We just finished a really big business deal upstairs and got a big payout, so yes, we can afford it. You're not going to tell us that she isn't for sale now, are you?"
He quickly shook his head, "No, no, no! Not at all! So… Err… Six million, right?"
He seemed to be a little unsure now which was something that I recognised as a sign that the price he set might not have been the right one.
Good, because that meant there was room for negotiation.
I gestured for him to follow me so that we could be out of earshot from the Alv before I started, "That's before I knew of her circumstances. You can't really expect me to just pay six million for an unbroken slave, can you?"
