Mislaid a brother.

Careless, I know...

People get lost all the time, don’t they?

Eh, or shoved through a portal.

Just kidding. [He's not.] You seen a scruff about yea high, with stripes on his face and an attitude the size of Alaska?

I am not in the business of tracking people. Did you check where the portal was?

You kidding? It's all over the place. Literally. It pops up here, it remanifests over there... at both ends, too.

Know anything about fixing portals?

Knowledge isn’t free.

...I have a cousin that might be able to help with portals.

You think I don't know that? I wrote the book on how to extract a price.

[And suddenly he's all casual again.] But if they can help.

I deal in debts, or snacks for my dog. A favor for an honest answer?

Lady, do I look like I just got out of diapers? I don't trade in unspecified favours. Nothing but trouble there.

[He summons a bag of doggie snacks and offers it up.] Will these do?

So what do you trade in?

[cassie laughs] They might work for one of the smaller dogs. Thank you for the laugh, for that, you get a freebie. Your brother owes me a gem.

Depends who I'm doing business with.

[Abdiron's eyes narrow. It's not because she laughs, he doesn't give a shit for that in light of the implications of her words.]

One. So you have seen the little scrote, and moreover know we're brothers. Two. Which implies you've spoken to him, which- [He waggles a pointy finger.] - further implies three. You've been telling me porkies.

My name is Cassie. I’m not in need of material things, so I deal in favors and... I like to treat my dog.

That’s only if you count omission of information as a lie. I was honest when I told you that I’m not in the business of tracking. I do have a cousin that can probably unravel the portal nonsense, and no, I haven’t told you everything I know.

Most of you all are just alike, only perceiving what you want and not actually what is. I would wish you luck, but that doesn’t really matter, does it?

If you want the information, please pay. Otherwise I will be on my way.

Boy, I bet you're real popular at parties.

S'okay, I got the basics. I'll find my way from here... Missing you already.

I used to be.

[A fully grown hellhound appears and Cassie turns on her heel to follow him away]
