"We know that this place is dangerous, but what's surprising to me is that it made a conscious decision. A little quid pro quo, just something in return for a favor. A life for a life. Sounds like you can relate to the place quite easily, huh, Mar?" Myitt smiles faintly.
Corliss takes the gum out of his mouth and looks around, a bit bewildered. "Um, d'you have like, a napkin, mate?" he asks the bartender.
The bartender looks at Corliss, looks at the gum, and holds out his hand.
Corliss blinks at the bartender's outstretched hand and hesitantly places the gum in it. Like a magic trick, the bartender closes his hand and does a little flourish, revealing an empty palm. He wanders idly back to the register.
Corliss looks at Myitt, eyes wide. "He's not going to kill me now, is he?" he asks cautiously.
"Nah, I don't think gum is on the same level as saving a life, Cor," Myitt replies.
Her brother nods. "Alright, just checking. What, you never know with this bloody place!"
