Quentyn taps one finger on the hilt of one of his many knives. "Kidnap or murder?"

"The client would prefer if the young lady's life was cut short," Tyrone says dispassionately.

"A death in exchange for just information, you think?" Quentyn asks. "I dunno. Depends on how good your information is, maybe. I want to know my good Ser's exact location the moment I finish your job, as well as what security he has and what he's been doing lately. Is your information that good?"

"I can provide specifics..." Tyrone replied with a slight head nod, "And information is the most valuable of currencies... is it not?"

"Funny," Quentyn says with a wink, "I was going to say that it was death. But you want the one and I want the other, so it seems like we've got a deal."
Quentyn's casual grin is impeccable, but he feels nauseated at the thought. He'd killed before, of course, and had even done assassin's work. But always his work was for the king, and he could console himself with the thought that any who he killed had committed some treason or another. And never a woman.

If Tyrone was impressed by this display of bravado, he did not show it. "Very good. Return when the deed is done, and you shall receive your payment. Good day... my friend."

Quentyn nods. "Good day to you too."
He leaves, and Bannen follows.

Quentyn, back in the guise of a plucky sellsword, lines up in front of Tyrone's table and waits patiently for the man to see him.

The line is rather long today, but eventually Quentyn arrives at the front. Tyrone examines him.
"Yes?" He asks.

"Morning," Quentyn replies jovially, "New terms. I've done the lion's share of my part. Now it's time to see whether you've been jerking me around or not. Give me reliable information on my man, and you get a corpse. You are good for it, aren'tcha, Tyrone?"

Tyrone blinked several times, before speaking.
"I do not make new terms. You have a contract, and you have thus far failed to fulfill it, Quentyn Targaryen. If you choose not to fulfill it, it will cost me a great deal of money and effort, although it will not change the eventual outcome. High tide is in three hours, I highly suggest you find a ship, and get on it. I wish I could say it was a pleasure to do business with you, but regrettably no business was done. You are no longer welcome here in Braavos."

Quentyn smiles. "It won't, Tyrone? If you had a someone with a good shot at accomplishing this job, you would've sent him instead of an untested foreigner with no special friendship for you. But you don't, do you? And the task will become nigh impossible even for the best when the girl is returned and her security triples. And about that, ooh..."
Quentyn makes a pained face. "I think we talked about what was more important last time, information or death? But we both know that in your business, its reputation. And wouldn't that be embarassing for your network if after all that fuss about Tregario's missing daughter that she strolls through the door again. That's not just incompetence, that's complete unreliability. I wonder how many clients you will have after that?"
"I'm reasonable, Tyrone, but I cover my own ass. And I am not going to give you a corpse until I have my information."

Tyrone raised his eyebrow.
"Good Day Master Targaryen. Enjoy your voyage home."

"No doubt it will be pleasant," Quentyn responds. "Good day."
