"I'll give you something as collateral for now, and I'll pay up if the info was really worth my time and money," Lucian spoke and eyed the Ren up from top to bottom, not liking the idea of some kid being a higher level then him, knowing more than him, and being so nonchalant about it all. He didn't trust Ren, but he did need to know more, and was willing to drop anything he saw as being of less value to obtain this knowledge.

Pushing his hand into his pocket and taking it out with a closed fist, he held his apartment keys above Ren's open hand, "Do you agree to this deal? Or are you not willing to compromise?" 

Being nine times the level of Lucian, he knew that Ren should have a general grasp of how to use their powers, and there was one word that Ren had spoken which Lucian really cared about above all the other. Magic. If Lucian would learn what he wanted concerning magic, he would be willing to pay anything. What was money compared to the power to create and throw fireballs or magic missiles with ones mind?
