Kiona agrees for some reason.

Marigold looked from her good friend to the man who had so much power over her, eager to see if either of them would crack. It seemed as though Harry had nothing at all to use against Kiona, but she hadn't simply laughed him out of the room. Was she just sticking around to support Marigold? Did she somehow know what had gone on between Mari and Harry only a little while ago?

"Well," Kiona said. "It looks like you've found me out, haven't you." Found her out? Now Marigold was even more confused. There were no videos. Harry was trying to dupe Kiki. A look at Kiona's face allowed Marigold to see calm, cool control reflected in it. What Harry had said hadn't phased Kiona at all. It almost looked like she was a little intrigued.

Whatever was happening, Marigold didn't dare speak up. She stood far shorter both in stature and in confidence than either Harry or her darling Kiona. Perhaps staying quiet really was the best possible decision for her to make.

"So?" Kiona said.

Harry blinked. "So what?"

"Did you just get Mari to bring me here so you could tell me you've seen some videos of mine?" Kiona said. "Or is there something else you were planning on saying to me?"

"Oh, of course," Harry said, apparently happy to be talking to a fellow haggler. "Yes, I had something in mind."
