Florence saw a grin steal across the Master's lips when she asked as to the exotic nature of Adonijah, and it made her more at ease. The Master of the House seemed to genuinely like the whore she had set her eye on. A good thing too, by Florence's estimation. Still, the grin couldn't prepare her fully for the words Master Ryan spoke, "I'm going to assume you have a healthy imagination and tell you, M'lady, that the man in question is not a man, nor a woman, but both." His smile grew warmer as he spoke and he drummed his fingers on the desk as he went on to address her question about the cost. It left her little time to react to that news verbally, though her eyes had widened slightly and one of her golden brows was raised. The smile on her lips remained secure though, as she thought about the possibilities his exotic nature might open up.<br/><br/>Master Ryan said of pricing, "Well. Two whores for one client would come to a price of three whores. But two whores for two clients, would not, not even if the whores were shared." She watched as he retrieved a slip of paper and slid it her way, reaching out one gloved hand to bring the paper closer for examination as the man continued, "Atticus, because he's not a whore, would be one and a half the price of a whore, and without the more carnal delights, I might add. It's basic math, really. It only becomes complicated if one would wish for Atticus' non-sexual services and a whore's sexual ones."<br/><br/>Nicholas chimed in with a few questions of his own then, "Florence desires the sexual services of a whore, while I do not. If she does hire Adonijah it would require such services, though I will be paying for her time with whoever she selects as a gift, in return for her modeling for me. Does that still work with the two clients hiring two entertainers? Atticus and I could go apart while she takes her pleasure, though part of that would be...useful to observe as well. I could simply focus on the studies I wish to do of Atticus first and therefore free him to return to your services that much faster. Are there time limits placed?"<br/><br/>Florence thought perhaps it would be best if she waited for the answers to her escort's questions before asking any further herself. She was glad to hear the price would not be as high as she'd originally suspected though, for while Nicholas had that much money to throw away the thought of seeing him do so, or worse, negotiating the exchange for him, did not make her a happy woman. Money was hard to come by for those lacking family, and she'd certainly had to work hard to carve her fortune out of this society. Naturally none of her concern over the amount that might be spent was visible on her face as she waited to see what Master Ryan would say to Nic's inquiries.
