He sighed and a look of exasperation took over his face. "'Lies and deceit make for poor foundations, but Truth and transparency are the bane of negotiations.'" He muttered before looking up at the demon standing on his table.
"I take it you are not negotiating on behalf on any one? You truly are here alone, no army or any sort of force to back you up?"
He stood and brushed himself off, hand still inside his cloak, now clearly grasping something over his breast.
"Do I have that correct?"
He was at once impressed and annoyed by this potential revelation. He was impressed that this demon had the courage to accept his invitation and actually make demands without any backing. The annoyance mainly stemmed from the fact he had not realized this sooner.
