Ahh, that seems to do the trick. The look on her face at the offer of your suggestion is one of pure delight, and her muzzle tips up in smug satisfaction. You watch wearily as she soaks it all in, clearly pleased with herself. Will she give you an answer now?

But no, not yet. The skull-marked head bobbles in a most grotesque fashion as she nods and shakes it alternatively, as if arguing with herself. Your gaze shifts away uncomfortably, for you’re beginning to think that perhaps she’s a touch…touched. Her lips aren’t forming silent words, but you’d seen old mares go crazy and start talking to themselves all too often, and the girl was coming disturbingly close with her gestures to no one. Maybe it’s from living down here too long, tucked away in this echoing labyrinth, you think uneasily, feeling claustrophobic in the icy tunnel. Anyhow, it gives you the creeps.

Suddenly, her red eyes narrow, then slide to meet your own. “One favor for a favor,” she tells you, “I help you, and when I need you, you help me out once.” And then, in a tone that sends involuntary chills down your spine, “Anything short of murder goes. Deal?” Murder? The proposition is thrown out so casually, as if arranging a death is but an afterthought. You’re sure she’s just bluffing, feeling grown-up and self-important in negotiating this bargain, but still…it makes you hesitate. However, you cannot seriously believe that whatever she’ll want from you will be too demanding. She’ll have to find you first, in any case, so unless she plans on leaving this cozy ice palace of hers, you’ll be in the clear. If that’s the only price she demands for information, you will gladly pay it. Taking pains not to answer too quickly, lest her tiny heart burst with joy, you shake your head slightly and cough, the clear equivalent to a shrug. “Deal,” you reply finally, tone decidedly neutral.

Oh Gull: your fate has been sealed.

trouble just grew wings
