Her face face would give Mythas no reason to believe she shared any of his enthusiasm.
He'd made been talking a lot but he wasn't saying very much. So far, Leto understood that he needed a woman and he wanted some sort of useless relic at the bottom of the bay.
Her mouth twisted a grimace. There were details missing here and she could not tell if this fool looking fellow was being purposefully vague with her or if he was just stupid.
"Not later." She swept past the part about the artifact. "You'll have coin by tonight eh? Then you'll have enough to make me some kinda offer."
She straightened, arms akimbo.
"There's a guesthouse down by the water. Cheap beer, barely and oats mostly, But the beds don't have fleas. It's called Seven Ducks House, old place from before the the water came up. After you get whatever coin, I'll come'n give you back that pin and you can pay me for that food in your hand and make a proper offer for that job you want me for and tell me exactly what sort of a thing I'll be doin'."
The Seven Ducks was also full of people on any given night, not the least of which were guards ducking out of their night patrols to drink that sweet, cheap oat ale. It would be safer, she thought, to meet this stranger somewhere of her choosing.
"What'd you say you're name was?"
