He raised an eyebrow at the preposition. Why would Smuts think he would be interested in attempting to trade it to him? Did Smuts know more than he appeared to? With all the stuff in the duffle bag, he could very well be practicing witchcraft. He might even be a lurker. Either way, some voodoo dolls actually worked, he did know that, and it being in the hands of the rat probably wasn't the best thing, in case it turned out to be a functional one.<br/><br/>"Eh, why not. If nothing else, I can give it to my little cousin. She'd think it was cute." It was a quick excuse, and he thought it was pretty decent for a reason to trade for a voodoo doll. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a small trinket, a charm of the Leviathan Cross. It was made out of silver, but had really no value to him.<br/><br/>"Here, how about this. It's a Leviathan cross. It's also used as the alchemical symbol for sulfur. Some woman gave it to me in an antique shop."<br/><br/>The last part was a plain out lie. He'd gotten the thing off of what was left of a lurker that he had lured into his labyrinth. He had carried it in, so he figured it must have some kind of importance. He spoke to another angel asking them about it, but it turned out it was just a normal trinket. Either way, he was careful to study Smuts' reaction to it, seeing if he actually knew anything about it.<br/><br/>"Deal?"
