"Mmm...you have a point. I'll give you, oh...twenty-five up front? That's a good few days worth of pay, all told.

That's why I want the paladin. Marking her, and making her fall...would be delicious. It'd probably take a bit longer to do, since they can resist, but given time I can manage it. And winning someone over takes a bit longer as well."
