“Did you expect to not have to pay for my services?” Rose asked. “Naturally there’s a price.”
“This is too important for such pettiness.” Luna said. “The natural order of life and death is at stake. Is your greed more important to you than that?”
“I don’t work without getting paid.” Rose said. “I’m a professional and you won’t find anyone better.”
“What do you want?” Cora asked.
Luna looked at her and she did not seem pleased. But she didn’t say anything.
“A future favor of my choice.” Rose replied. “I do this for you and you do something for me later. Seems fair, doesn’t it?”
“What kind of a favor?” Luna asked.
“If you can deliver on your end of the bargain.” Cora said. “We have a deal.”
Luna did definitely not look happy.
“Excellent.” Rose said. “Then we have a deal.”
