He smiled slightly, before nodding his head a bit. "Fair enough. Tyganipstead is where I am going to set up a new thieves' guild, a outpost for the main one in the capital I left, about a week's ride from the city. I had been the thieves' guild killer, the one in charge of ensuring that the guild members followed the important rules, no going to the guards, don't betray the guild to outsiders, things like that. Got tired of it, and this is my reward for doing a good job at it for six years and not going insane.<br/><br/>What I need is someone more skilled at diplomacy than myself, as you might have noticed that I have a caustic and disrespectful attitude, though that is somewhat like saying that a flood is a bit wet. What I knew about the succubus before meeting you was minimal, the common things, and that your people were the diplomats, if demons can be said to have them. I am not good with diplomacy, but I understand contracts VERY well. So here is my offer.<br/><br/>You work for me, and I let you feed off of me, if it is going to be similar to how the last time went. You can keep the current toys, but have to have them move closer to Tyganipstead if you do. The noble woman seems to have been a lower mid-level or higher low-level noble, so should be able to afford moving out of this manor and into one near Tyganipstead. If you work for me, then I will show you SOME trust, as this is going to be a working relationship, and I can't watch you all the time, so I will have to 'trust' you, though only for a certain value of trust. If you do well, you get more. If you abuse it, we go back to me using the soul stone to control your every action. The later greatly diminishes your usefulness, so I would like to avoid that, but if you become a liability, then I will deal with you. Is this acceptable?"
