Transaction 002 [Audio]

[bespectacledsnake]

Tell me, Hadriel, I am curious. Are there any artists here? 

I will admit I am not an artist myself, but I do consider myself a collector and you see I'd like to...well, let us say... update this house a little bit. 

[Watch out, Newt, he's decorating.] 

If you are interested I am certain we could find some arrangement by way of payment.

[Despite being in the same house as the guy, Newt is super not expecting Semiyon to just show up suddenly. He starts, almost dropping the plate of fish he's holding. Jeez. For an old guy, Semiyon sure is sneaky.]

Uh...

[He squints at Semiyon.]

Is this a bribe? Are you bribing me?

[bespectacledsnake]

[He takes a few easy, smooth steps forward, significantly narrowing the gap between them]

Would it bother you if it is....?

[completelycrazy]

I, uh, I guess not.

[He squares himself, trying to stand a little taller because he doesn't love the way Semiyon towers over him. Man, being as short as he is can be incredibly inconvenient.]

But only because this argument doesn't matter.

[At least he can admit that much.]

[bespectacledsnake]

This is true.

[So far as Semiyon is concerned it should have never been an argument in the first place. He holds up his hands in a palms up gesture]

So would you like a back rub or not?

[After all he's already here and it's not like it would be interrupt his busy schedule of tending to the house]
