[That's certainly true. And it seems to have worked, so she leans forward. The playful mischief across her face drops as she begins to speak with seriousness.]
I'm interested in people to be part of a ship's crew. We're planning a voyage south to investigate a lead to a hidden trove. It's not a journey for cowards. Survival for everyone depends on cooperation, trust and perseverance. If you're wondering why I would seek cooperation and trust from someone who's dedicated himself to hunting vampires, that's where the deal comes in:
I spent 85,000 bailing you out of there. I played by the rules of the system, but I want it clear I don't have any love for it as an institution. So let's think of this more like an indentured servitude. You messed up and got caught, but if you pay me back in labor, I'll let you have your freedom back. No strings attached.
I'll consider completion of this voyage full repayment.
