Once he has them in his arms, he vanishes, in a puff of sulfurous smoke, and returns a few minutes later, minus the dresses. The Mistress arrives, not long after, the demons ahving returned to work, crafting another bolt of cloth to replace their lost stores.<br/><br/>"Excellent. You do good work, as always." "We ssserve to please." "Now, come along Ruby. We still have a number of things to do, tonight. Tell me, what experience do you have with dealing with people? Negotiating, brokering deals, that sort of thing?" she asks, as she leads Ruby into a small, cozy library, sitting in a large chair, by the fire, gesturing for Ruby to sit across from her.
