"Why yes, I'm a professional<em>consultant</em>; my services don't come cheap, but then again, my services are also worth every copper." Kass replied in her persona, doing her best to thing five steps ahead of them "And yes, I would prefer to discuss the specifics prior-to, so that I can make any necessary preparations before the consultation itself."<br/><br/>The man seemed to stare out at something, and Kass couldn't help but wonder what it was.  Aria, perhaps?  Could she have seen that her compass pointed to someone she did not readily recognize, with a young man and a young woman... though as Kass looked closer, they were neither all that young.  The man was younger, the woman older, contrary to how they looked in their glamors... but the man... the man was not in his own mind, not fully.  Had he been dominated by this woman?  But... if that were the case... then the woman was by no means the weak link... and was the man himself a hopeless victim?<br/><br/>...and it made her wonder, had Aria orchestrated the two men moving in?  Because if things went bad in a hurry, Kass was going to be absolutely<em>demolished</em>against such potent magical users... she<em>prayed</em>Aria was there... and all she had to do was get them in the open, especially with the details they just made, which Kass visibly frowned at.<br/><br/>"I mean no offense, but I'm afraid I would not be able to comply to such a request.  I don't know too much regarding magic, but I've been screwed over in more ways than one by a wizard who thought I was desirable, but my price was too<em>steep</em>.  Not to mention that there are some secrets that I am trusted to keep locked away in my mind that I can't risk getting out and about, considering the nature of my consultation." Kass replied, simply stating this as a 'professional' would "Chances are you mean me no harm in either, but my policy is my policy, and my integrity and livelihood as a... consultant... rests on it.  We could ask a wizard from an apothecary or alchemical shop to cast such spells for you, if it would ease your concerns.  Or... well, if you aren't too worn out from your 'discussion' earlier, maybe I can... give you a quick consultation 'pro bono,' to show off my talents and assure you I am nothing if not what I say I am?"<br/><br/>Kass was, essentially, trying to stall until she could see Aria or knew she was there; if they agreed to a bit of 'pro bono' work, chances are it would give Aria ample time to find her, and ample more to provide credit to her claim as a high-grade prostitute.  If they wished to visit the wizards... well, chances are Aria may have gone that way to find herself a scroll for them to use, so they'd close the gap even quicker.  Either way, it would stall for time... she hoped, any way...<br/><br/>I assume from your appraisal that you like the clothing the woman wears, with all her naughty bits on display?  Sounds good to me! ^_^<br/><br/>Bluff for sincerity: At 2011-03-08 16:44:05, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a64 Result: 78 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=23323)<br/><br/>Diplomacy to persuade/make them trust me/improve their disposition towards me/whatever: At 2011-03-08 16:44:13, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a38 Result: 43 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=23324)<br/><br/>If they go with the 'pro bono' option, I am willing to have Kass orally pleasure the man, just so you know.
