[color=DDA0DD]“As a matter of fact, there is,”[/color] she affirmed. Reaching down towards her earring bag and summoning it to her, she hefted it into her lap and opened it. [color=DDA0DD]“Regarding the matter of payment, I’m afraid I’m rather inconveniently without any genuine coin on my person,”[/color] she conceded. Quickly, she pulled out a pair of small gold earrings, not unlike the ones she’d given Sya. [color=DDA0DD]“I have, fortunately, something which I feel can adequately substitute. I wish not to make a habit of this, mind you, but being that this is my, shall we say, first day back in the civilized world in quite a while, I have yet to find a source of income. Fortunately, I do have my dear earring collection, and in it, some earrings which I can bear to part with.”[/color] Nesna placed the earrings on the counter in front of Desmond. [color=DDA0DD]“As you can see, these are solid gold. It isn’t ideal, I know, but if you’ll humour me or take some earrings as a deposit, I am more than willing to mitigate the trouble by offering a touch more than you might otherwise have required. Would this unorthodox payment suffice, at least this once?”[/color] she asked. Nesna offered a small, tight-lipped, conciliatory smile as she looked squarely at him with all four of her eyes.
