" One day at a time is all we can do,"
The Moth paused at Rowan mentioning the question. Rowan was perceptive. It had not been the goal of the evening, but it had laid on the Moth's mind to be certain. They had thought at first not to bring it up after the row that took place this evening but after Rowan calling it out, it seemed like it would only agitate the other darkling.
"I was going to leave it to another time, but" Riley waved for another drink from the Bartender.
"I may need a service, the kind we are predisposed to, sometime soon. But due to its nature, I hesitate to do it myself. I was curious that's your cost, Rowan?" From the use of the word, Rowan might be able to glean that Riley wasn't strictly talking about money, there was more valuable currency among the lost.

With his blackened finger, Rowan mindlessly tapped the tip of his nose as he pondered the offer. Did the statement bother him? Not in the least. To his mind, being asked to do things was a way to increase his social capital without putting in much effort - tolerance through usefulness.
There weren't many things that he wanted from Riley, but there was no sense in letting them know that. He entertained several ideas for a practical prank, to remind the Moth that such questions shouldn't be just thrown around. But as the Wyrd would have it, he had just the perfect price in mind.
"Introductions. I want to be meet someone who can teach me about Spring Rites."

The Moth shared a similar feeling of transactions as the other darkling. They raised an eyebrow with a smile at the offered cost. Now they were talking.
"I can look into that. I do payment upfront. " Riley didn't like being in Debt. Best have the payment ready instead of making impossible promises.
"Once I Know I can meet your cost, I will provide you details. I assume you have no problem with that?"
The rites of spring were on their way, why the autumn courtier wanted to know was of mild curiosity to Riley. The occult and how the freehold held up its ancient bargains held little weight on the moths day to to day life.

"Word."
It was a smart way of doing business, like checking your bank account before taking an item to the register. With the business part of the evening concluded, Rowan took the time to enjoy his stout. He considered sharing with Riley he reason for his interest in Spring magics, but decided against it. The fewer people knew of about the bigger picture, the fewer chances someone would get in the way. After all, the information he was looking for wasn't readily available, which meant it was likely need-to-know basis only. Which in turn meant he needed to be careful.
As the Moth didn't press the issue, he didn't feel the need to come with an explanation. "So. What was making you anxious?"
