“A deal? I know of it.” The creation dodged, disdainful of the detail without directed disrespect, breathing impassively. “…A mere toy may win a man’s heart, with the correct tug of the particular string, may be effectual, yes…” Asmodeus trailed, voice diminishing beyond the verge of auditability, as though some passing, fleeting realisation had sundered him from his course.

I presume you have arranged contingencies?” He replied, leaning on the wall switch with a servile nonchalance.
