[Well, Ish has always been more or less honest with her, even when she was trying to work around him or stack the deal in her favor.]
I don't know what I have that you could want on my own. [She will be honest in turn, then. Her emotions haven't always interested him, and she does not have any spells or magic knowledge that a millennia-old witch would want in trade.] But you need time to help her, right? I can be useful to Yamnabagiri in sealing up this tear to give you that time.
[At least she can offer the one thing she was never meant to have much of in her life.]
[It's always weird when he's like this, a little difficult to respond to... his genuineness makes her back teeth ache when she has teeth. What a sentimental man for someone who held Siffrin's heart in his fist.]
A rich man is easier to bribe, [she echoes from a very long time ago.] Would you like part of my dowry? [She laughs a little bit.] ...Ah, actually, I may have something I can offer you. But perhaps that's best left for later.
I don't have anything solid right now, just the request to look out for them in any way you can if things start to get messy.
[ GAZES AT THE REST OF WEDNESDAY. ]
Usually I don't deal in vague terms like this, but they're equivalent, huh? There might be more dead before this is all done, but I'll include them in my end of the deal too.
[Their terms were pretty vague before, but she's not going to point that out right now.]
We'll be busy cleaning up that other mess, but I'll keep an eye out for any others.
When you get a house of your own, you know, and not just something you stole... The Sanrit people hand-sew socks and hang them outside their doors for fairies to sleep in and bless the house. It's a silly superstition since there's no such thing. I've always believed I never needed something like that to bless me.
[Since he's kind of had his eye on everything, Ish will probably know she's kept things like this to herself this entire time, not willing to let more than the smallest scraps of nonessential information about this subject go. So what was the point of saying it now?]
I'll keep my eye out for any fairies, but maybe I'll hang some of them if a dragon isn't enough to scare them away. [ he kind of thinks hwylryn might find this funny, but it's also possible fairies are real where he's from? either way, ish appreciates the sentiment and scrap of knowledge he's never heard of before. ]

Beyond that, what can I give you? [She pauses.} When everything you've ever wanted is at your fingertips, what will make you happy after that?
no subject
A future after all of this.
I'm going to have my hands full this weekend, and you, yours. But we'll have to keep an eye on those still on my side too.

How can we look out for yours?
