Jiao grinned at the revealing that yes, Ianto did sell curses. Did he tell his customers beforehand, she wondered, or was he truly a trickster, an evil wizard? That would make him rather more exciting, she thought.
"Mmmm, okay. Arduinna isn't super popular around here at the minute, you know." She mused, placing a neat hem around the edge of the cravat and fastening it in with pins, then selecting a rusty brown thread for the stitches. "Maybe don't go around telling people she's to do with you...or do. I guess it depends who you speak to. Personally I think Delah and the council are huge drama queens."
Ianto said he would trade for anything. Jiao would never give away some of her hard work for a story, but not everyone was as smart as she was. "I dunno...what if the stories are bad? You can't get food or lodging with a secret, either. Secrets are just about worthless once more people know them."

And the bittersweet of every new defeat
Is I'm stronger than before
