... Imperious stated in a neutral tone of voice while returning the Changecube to his side. He had a feeling the Tlolkku was using the haggling tactic of starting high with the expectation of being negotiated to a lower medium. So he tried not to take offense at the blatant attempt to get access to Shi'Halal's weaknesses. Lucas was a noble though. He didn't haggle like a merchant.
After the initial pitch, he expected no trade would be made, as he did not have much and what he had he was unlikely to be willing to give away. He already possessed a means of detecting the Oblivion Flock ... what he was looking for was way of allowing others to. There was more information to be gained from the dialog, however. So Imperious continued it, proposing an alternative payment. One that he was willing to follow up on.
"Who is this person with a Demigod Carapace and how are they causing you difficulties? Perhaps I can meet them and negotiate on your behalf as the price for this software. Bear in mind, you would need to be willing to make some form of compromise if any negotiating were to take place."
