I do not mind working together toward our common goal. In the end, we shall both prosper and I see little harm in benefiting mutually from our partnership.
[ If magic is the thing that comes at a price, well, Petyr will be certain to avoid situations where Pan would have to use it. After all, he has far more intriguing talents. Like breaking into someone's house or messing with people's minds. ]
But I would like the rules of this game clearly stated. You have to forgive me for my lack of trust, but I am a cautious man when it comes to my own life potentially being at stake. I've seen what you do to your friends.
[ Ah yes, Pan hadn't forgotten that tidbit. He did after all murder Tetsuo publicly. But should he even reveal that he can't recast the curse?
The thought dances in his mind for a moment. No, no he'll keep that bit to himself. ]
You'll be safe from that fate.
You're too clever to be bought like Tetsuo was. And far too old for it to work [ lies, but he does it smoothly. ]But, words are cheap but it's all I can offer...unless you have something in mind?
Nothing that would be very effective, no. We can sign all the contracts in the world, but they are hardly binding. And any magical oath would be within your power, there is no saying you could not go back on your word while I was bound by my own. So all I suppose I can ask for is an act of good will. A favor. One to be procured at my leisure. One without price. Anything within your power that will not bring harm or risk exposure of your person.
[ Something against someone, more than likely. Like the devil. Or someone else. Baelish doesn't have particulars in mind, but he's sure there will come a day when he does need this sort of favor from the strongest magic user in this world. And he wishes to pass that price of magic onto someone else. Surely that would be within Peter Pan's power. ]
