She seemed cold. Leon was put on edge again, but he was unsure why. It didn't show through his own friendly expression, but he was on guard and rather weary, especially when she declared she already had a "slave"... lovely, what was he getting himself into? He supposed this would've happened one way or another at some point in time; he assumed he'd never really have things needed to trade for exotic animals and horses, let alone furs, clothes and food. Although he did allow her comment to stroke his ego; he was small, so he wasn't expecting her to think much of him even though his musculature was promising, though hidden under this clothes at the moment.

She said she could get what he wanted if he made a promise. That had him pause to think whether he should say yes or no or find some other way to pay her, or find someone else that didn't seem so... dark. "Aight, deal." God, he hoped she didn't ask him to kill anyone, and he sure as hell wasn't going to let her know he had a younger brother now. He was careful... but he needed the hunting partner and the pure muscle and easy transport of a horse. He would've had to make a sacrifice sometime. "Any hints on what I'm promising, here?" He wanted to ask when she might be able to get the stuff, but he didn't. He was a little impatient but he was smart enough to know it'd take time, especially for the fossas.
