*For Lady Tamarind:*

What would you request in return for your crocodile's soul? That is the bargain you have offered me, correct?

Yes. Seeing as how you have power, you may know that there are other of my countrymen here. One is an ally of mine, but the other two were involved in events that led to my brother's death. --doesn't mention that she was also involved, perhaps even more so--

Mosca is still a child, and even I do not wish to harm her directly. Hopewood Pertellis, though, was a criminal in my world, and directly involved in the group that was responsible. He is a bumbling, bookish fool, but the only one who is here.

Make his worst nightmares seem true to him, but imperceptible to others. Or make him think he can achieve some impossible dream, I don't care. I wish him to seem quite mad. I also wish my involvement in this to be kept secret from everyone.

*smiles slowly* I can and shall do this. Madness is simple to induce in a man. No one shall know of your involvement save those whom you choose to tell.

Good. You can collect the payment on your own, I presume? My crocodile will still be serviceable, just soulless?

--isn't sure she believes in souls, the Birdcatchers were just her allies, after all--

[willwork4souls]

I can. Your crocodile will not be harmed; I will collect the soul at my own leisure.
