[There's something about that that settles him, and he looks amused for a moment.]
I'm not gonna lie, there're people who're doing it for the extra benefits. You've heard about the tokens by now right? Do whatever you want with another person, earn a token. Do whatever with multiple people, earn even more tokens. [A shrug!] If you're into that sort of thing. Even if you're already covered to stay alive, the fact that we can't even get anywhere without buying stuff back is a pain in the ass.
Is it still a savior complex if both people benefit?
Interesting analogy but not inaccurate. [A smart cat, then.] I figured you'd see the value in it. Nothing wrong with a little leverage if we're upfront about it, is there?
[He could leave it at that, but something makes him feel inclined to say:] Turns out the demons aren't too picky about how the job's done. We're in a system where the minimal effort can still net max rewards.
[She's honestly on the same thought (thot) train as he is. Minimize effort, maximize reward. But she's also interested in trying to clock what sort of person he is.]
Well yeah. [And in this way he actually sounds pretty sincere about it.] We're all kind of in a fucked up situation no matter how you look at it. Even if it's not a preference to be doing this, I'd rather make it even.
[So yeah. Accommodations are fine since they both have rewards on the brain.]
[He doesn't back down, though he watches the tail for a moment before meeting her eyes again. Both palms flip up into a shrug.]
Fine by me. It's been a pleasure doing business with you. [Or, like, will be when they get that far. Wow, should've saved that one for later.] I'm not exactly opposed to doing it in the open, but if you have a preference now's the time to say so.
[As long as one of them gets off, it counts for the reward. That's the primary focus here.]
Probably right.[He can admit that much, but he tilts his head and gestures for her to follow.] Come with me then.
[He's already turning to walk, seemingly knowing where he's going.] You're not as much of an open book as you'd think. Do I need to guess what will and won't get me punched?
[He's still under the idea of minimal contact max reward, but even that can mean so much.]

[She leans against the wall, arms crossed.]
So, you want save someone and I want to collect what I can. Seems like a worthwhile proposal.

Look. I think we should just get it over with and collect our prizes. If it's not terrible, then we can do it again.

Even if we're being efficient, I want this to be worth my time.
