Saiden immediately nodded. ”Today, you asked me for help. Well, us residents of Torchline are not a particularly helpful lot. At least not for free." Taking a step forward, he lowered his voice to a dangerous whisper. "You were disgusted by the way I did my business, with the spit, earlier. As if I was some savage. You got upset when I wouldn't tell you what the favor I was going to ask of you was, or when I would ask it, and insisted upon terms."
His nostrils flared a bit, and his eyes narrowed in annoyance. "That's not how things work, here, and you'd be wise to learn that now. Good thing I'm nicer than most, because in the future, you won't get to make terms. A favor for a favor, that's the way of Torchline, and if you don't like that, you should leave." He stepped back and nodded decisively. "In three days, then. I'll meet you where we met today and take you down the coast." With that, he spun on his heel, and left her behind.
