The Bard replied with poorly feigned surprise."Don’t play the innocent with me, Ortwin," Iua sighed. "You knew damn well there would be one.""This may come as a revelation, Iua," Ortwin said, genuinely offended, "but I’m not doing this for the money. I actually quite like you.""You quite like me. Well, that’s decent. We don’t want to get too carried away, do we?""Iua, I fall in love – or lust – on a regular basis. It’s no real gauge of my affection for someone, and doesn’t inform my decisions particularly helpfully. I was bad enough before, but since my…er…""Satyriasis?" She suggested."Yes," the Bard agreed. "Well, my hormonal urges are even more pronounced than before. It’s my basic nature.""I know," she sighed. "Ortwin, understand that I was raised in the court of a Djinn who is considered a philanderer amongst even his own kind. I am half-Auran. I lack the moral baggage of mortals as much as you do.""Hmm," Ortwin replied. "Although I am less of an erotomaniac," she added."Hmm," Ortwin said again, somehow reassured. "How big a dowry are we talking, anyway?""Well, you must consider that I am his one-hundred and eighty-sixth child. I am favoured, however, and Ulao still holds a soft spot for Mulissu despite what he might say."Ortwin nodded and gestured for her to continue."And," she continued in a low voice, so that Orop could not overhear, "he seems to think highly of you for some bizarre reason. He has the impression that you are some kind of bigwig.""I am the best liar in the world," he admitted. "That is a title of some distinction. But how much?" He added, impatiently."Two hundred thousand gold pieces," she said.Ortwin shook, and giggled inanely.</blockquote>
