[Thankfully, Azul is used to telling people no, but trying to sound friendly about it all the same.]
An example of a favor I'd appreciate would be keeping me updated on recent events and news, or gathering ingredients I need for my spells and potions: some are difficult for me to obtain, due to either not having the time to get them while I finish work here, or because I don't have the stamina needed in a particular environment to get them. Some past clients of mine have gone this route in lieu of money in exchange for my services, so if you want, I would be willing to consider a favor like that instead of having to pay with money.
[He tilts his head however, considering deeply for a moment as he regards the both of them.]
Actually, if you are looking for jobs, perhaps I could hire you for that rather than just doing a favor exchange. I can pay you for every time you bring back the ingredients I need, or even any deliveries of the potions I make to customers so that I have time to oversee my Lounge. As for hero work...
[He considers Surge for a moment, before his smile waned a little.]
Well, its a shame you weren't here a month or so ago. Perhaps if you had been, someone would have been able to stop the people that had kidnapped myself and several others for a rather greedy chance at wealth and power. So I must admit that since then I have been considering heavily the appeal of finding someone that can assist me in making sure something like that doesn't happen again. Whether that be by having someone around to protect the Lounge and keep unwanted guests out, or even if you were willing to help me out in cases where a particular area that has an ingredient I need is too dangerous for just myself to be working in. I would be happy to hire you for that, if you wish.
