Harmony was quite surprised by the sudden shoulder massage as it felt so nice. "That feels nice, thank you so much." she said back with a smile before feeling the half-elf lean in and hearing her. She's kind of used to men attempting this sort of stuff on her, but not a woman before, surprised. But a longer period of services? She does have plenty of songs that she can sing if she wanted to, at least enough for a few hours. "Oh, okay. I do have a lot of songs I could sing, but we really can't stay too long." Harmony would have said back, looking around at all her friends. She wouldn't have minded staying just to entertain the women for a while, but she remembered that they were on a mission and that they shouldn't be taking too long with it either.
"Hmm," Abraxas says. "Yes. When you say "service," what do you mean? When you say "long period of time," what do you mean?" He adjusts his satchels and folds his arms.
Now it is the half-elf's turn to pout as she reassures Harmony, "We wouldn't keep you too long, love. I'd say...a year should suffice. Surely that isn't too long to spend in our company?" She turns to ask the elf, "She's perfect. Can we buy this one?"
The elf walks toward Abraxas, placing her hands on her hips and leaning within inches of his face. "It sounds like Merina has already laid out the term. As for services...it depends on what she can offer," she says.
All three of the women saunter toward Harmony now. The half-elf takes her hand, looking her in the eyes. "What do you think? Will you stay with us for a year? We'll even give your friends a thousand gold as thanks," she says.
"A year?!!" Harmony exclaimed, beyond shocked and confused at the length of time and then them wanting to buy her. Then she saw as all three of the women were around her, feeling the half-elf take her hand and looking her in the eyes, asking her to stay for a year. "H-Hold on now! I'm really flattered that you would want me for that long, but I can't possibly stay that long! I'm a bard, I have to travel around and perform for other people as well. Also we're here on an important mission, I can't just leave my friends behind." Harmony was saying back to her, shaking her head. Why do these women want her so badly and for that long?!
Simeon listens to the rather curious offer for Harmony's purchase as he makes his way toward the door in the left wall. He's wondering what sort of reaction he might create by giving the appearance that the party will simply leave the room.
Abraxas watches the women around Harmony. "As has been said, she is not for sale. None of us are." He sees the direction Simeon is moving and almost begins that way himself, but waits to be sure Harmony will be able to leave.
The elf seems aghast at the mention of a sale. "My loves, we are not asking to own this beautiful woman, only to repay your kindness for allowing her to stay in our company for awhile," she says. Though the pouting continues from all three women, none of them react aggressively when Simeon begins moving toward the door, though the sight does create looks of disappointment.
"Not to sound mistrusting, but a year is a long time for most of us mortals. The choice is, of course, hers but I would prefer to see her remain with us."
Garu studies the women trying to gauge the intent beyond their words.

Harmony was hearing the women, still wondering why they want her to stay with them for so long. But she then heard Garu, nodding back in agreement. "I'm sorry. I am so glad and flattered that you would want me to hang out with you all for a year. But I just can't, I have to get going with my friends. It was very nice to meet you all though." she would politely say to the three women, smiling as she goes to back away from the three women.

Garu Insight: 14 Abraxas Insight: 15
"Very well," the elf says as the half-elf makes a pitiful noise. "Please let us know if you change your mind? You would find the year more than pleasant, I promise," she says to Harmony.
For Garu:
You do not sense any aggression against the concept of you leaving, but something definitely seems off-putting. While their offer of gold is sincere, they aren't telling the full story.
For Abraxas:
The women don't seem to be interested in putting up a fight. They haven't made any aggression or move against you as you wander toward the door ahead.
Abraxas will move toward the door as Simeon has. He is still slightly wary, but looking ahead, wonders about the next room. What does he perceive about the door way: 18?
If he notices a trap, he will stop and tell the others. If he does not, he will wait in the room with them.
Simeon nods at Abraxas, indicating he believes the time has come to exit this room. If the wizard indicates all is well with the door, then Simeon will motion to the others and make his way toward what lies beyond.
Harmony would hear the women, nodding back. "Alright, thank you for the offer though." she says back to them with a smile and waving goodbye before going towards the door the others went to as well.
"I guess you will never know, nor will she. 'Tis a pity," the elf wryly says to Garu as Abraxas examines the door. Seeing no nefarious signs upon it, Simeon leads you through into a familiar ascending stairway.
OOC: Because the layout of the hallways of this dungeon isn't terribly friendly for PbP, I will start moving you through automatically (unless there are objections to this). What little there is inside of the hallways has been passed by the party, and they are pretty bland from here on out.
The next room is rather small, only fifteen feet to a side. It contains only one other door, which is closed on the right wall.
The floor of the room is covered by a paper model of a city. The divided sections, sea wall, and unique architecture is unmistakeable. This is an exact replica of the city of Lyrikav.
Abraxas squats, fascinated. Hewill investigate the model in an effort to determine its purpose: 16. He wants to see if it is been used to prepare for a military invasion, some kind of magic, to plan a heist, or some other reason.
if he has ideas about why the model has been made, he shares them with the party.
While it lacks the bearings of any familiar military markings, Abraxas can deduce that the model does seem to be useful for some sort of infiltration, judging the scale of possible entrances/exits compared to the rest of the city. It is remarkably detailed, but many smaller buildings were not crafted with the same attention as the larger ones.
Abraxas will ask the others for help investigating the room and the models of the larger buildings. He is looking specifically for clues about the type of infiltration of Lyrikav and when it might happen.
