Have you ever cleaned vomit from between flagstones, Messere?

[extortionate]

[ give it some thought — ]

Nope. Y'want it out of a horse mane, though, what you need's a good comb.

[untiltheyarent]

I'm offering you a job, per your posting.

[extortionate]

Sure. Who puked?

[ if it's a griffon, he's charging double ]

[untiltheyarent]

I don't know. It was clearly some time ago.

[ dry's easier, that's a discount. also fifi sounds pretty, so that's maybe a discount. ]

Show me where'n I'm on it.

Privies by the group quarters. Seems someone had an exciting night.

[extortionate]

[ was that him? might’ve been him. doesn’t recall. if it was him, forget dinner. this is a repeat customer. he can throw up on command. ]

Right. Half up front.

[untiltheyarent]

Half of what, Messere?

[extortionate]

Pay, of course.

[untiltheyarent]

The amount being?

[extortionate]

Half a day's wage.

[ this is an opening bid ]

[untiltheyarent]

A quarter. It shouldn't take longer than an hour, that's more than generous.

[extortionate]

[ A quarter's fine. But it's the principle of the thing: ]

Third, and I'll sock the next guy does it.

[untiltheyarent]

[A considering pause.]

Deal.
