In other words, that's a 'no', isn't it. [Oh, she knows he's asking for a blank check. Chloe purses her lips, mulls it over whilst wearing an easy enough smile. ]
How big of a favor are we talking, then? I need some idea of what I'm passing you, after all.
[He can't help but smile. It's rare he gets to make a deal with anyone who can see through his carefully constructed words. It's almost fun, being kept on his toes.]
Seen as you're helpful enough to find me some work, I can see to givin' you a fair deal. [A pause.] Fairer than most folk, anyway. It'll be nothing life threatening or changing. You got my word.
[It's what grifters live for, isnt it? Risk, challenge, reward: and while Chloe's habitually cautious, there's no denying the years spent-- continually spent-- gambling with as much security as she owns.]
[It's even more rewarding in a place like this, where you never really knew what people were capable of, with all the different worlds represented here. Facilier offers her a hand.]
[The best life choice. After the handshake is done, Facilier waves his palms over his tabletop. In a plume of purple smoke (and more importantly, very stealthy sleight-of-hand) a necklace appears on the table. Leather for the chain, with an interesting charm hanging from it.]
There you go. This'll take away all those restless feelin's you've been having. All you got to do is wear it.
[Not to rain on his kindness parade (or lack thereof) but at the sight of a pendant Chloe looks a touch suspicious. After all the show he'd managed before, knows he's capable, passing out a souvenir necklace with the promise of a cure could easily be a sugar pill scenario.
Well, who could possibly argue with that? [She takes the pendant, rapping one knuckle against the table in a show of appreciation for his time as she climbs to her feet to leave.] I'll be in touch, yeah? Friend of mine ought to have something solid for you within the next few weeks if all goes well.

Could be, can't say I've decided what it'll be yet.

Still, it's not a bad looking bit of jewelry.]
And if it doesn't work?

[He gives a shrug.] But it it don't, you bring it right back and we'll just wipe your whole deal clean. You won't owe me a thing.
