[And he actually has that sort of money in savings that it wouldn't hurt him to part with it. But he also doesn't want the young man to feel indedted to him either.]
I see. Well what if I were to request three of your best crafted necklaces made for women in mind and a small bracelet that a small child could wear and offered you four thousand. Would that seem fair to you?
[Yes, he just offered a thousand dollars per piece. He's sure the women in his life will be fine with said gifts.]
[There is a long silence as Killian processes this]
Um. Just--just so I don't feel like a cheat or anything, this stuff isn't too expensive. The materials I mean. But, uh, if that's what you want to pay...
You're quite welcome. It would probably help you out more if I paid before the commission is done. Is there a place we could meet that wouldn't draw unnecessary attention to ourselves?
[He's offer to wire the money or mail a check, but that would likely leave too much of a paper trail. His bank doesn't need to know who that money is going too.]
That probably rules out the clinic. Um...oh! I work at the Weiss's stables just outside of town. Chloe's one of us and her parents haven't been around lately. Would that work?
Hmm, yes that should work fine. Would tomorrow afternoon work for you? I have some morning appointments that I can't reschedule. But I should be able to head out there by 3pm or so.

[So much spluttering right now. That's why he offered the jewelery. He needs to try and do this himself.]
It's--these things are crazy expensive.
phone call;
[Because he doesn't want him to feel that it is a complete handout, but tis the season.]
So how many would I need to commission to help make a significant dent in what you are going to need?

[He sounds a little faint when he reads off that number. Why is it so expensive to die?]

[And now he's a little choked]
phone call;
[It's going to a good cause, he couldn't ask for more than that.]
How should we handle payment then? Do you need the money before or after the commission is done?
