"Release our guest my child, it's hardly fair to negotiate under such duress." The woman holding you releases you without so much as a word. "Now, let's talk about the price of your little prize."
"If you really know who I am then you know how stupid it is to try and bargain with me over that thing."
"I think you overestimate the strength of your position dear...but yes, in the long run I believe it would end poorly for me if I added you to my collection. But the relic you're searching has made me and my coven strong and I've even kept it safe from that oversized flower. Imagine what would have happened if she got her roots on it, this entire city would be a giant garden. So I think I deserve something for me and mine..." She grasps your hands, looking down at you with a cold smile. "So take your bauble, run back to your master. But when you get your reward for being the Devil's cocksleeve, remember how gracious I was to you. And when I come to you for a reward I expect to receive it. Do we have a deal?"
