Raiden entered Exotic Weaponry slowly... He had gotten a short note asking him to go to the shop to discuss something, what it, he had no idea. Why, he didn't know either.
"Hello?"

Linx appeared from the back room with his typical, winning smile. The situation was probably a bit discomforting for Raiden, due to the context of it all, but he had no plans that would distress the older mouse. For once, all he wanted to do was talk, although that probably wouldn't result in talking much. "Hey... Rai, I've been meaning to talk to you."

"Hence the only very cryptic short message then I assume?"
For once smiling back at Linx with his own typical smile; the half grin, Raiden turned fully to face him.
"So what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Wanted to talk about that, uh, flechette launcher you set up a bit back," Linx shrugged. It had been some time since they'd discussed that. As far as he knew, though, it was already on the shelves of Raiden's shop. "Did you ever start selling those? Because I never got any profits from that, and either you're trying to take my ideas for free or you didn't ever put 'em up."

"I have about a dozen units built... That is to say, built left, out of two dozen..."
Holding up a semi-large bag of money, Raiden tossed it over.
"That's your half of the profits I made... Which I'm assuming you wanted, correct?"

Linx caught the bag deftly and promptly opened it, not pouring the contents out but just looking for color. It was apparently all gold coins, no low-denomination silver or copper coins involved. The amount of money he was holding was actually rather sizable and he smiled while placing it on his counter. "So did you just bring that knowing what I wanted, then, or what?"

"I just guessed, that since it was you, it would be about a weapon, and this was the smart choice."
It was true, Raiden had followed his gut instic, and it hadn't led him wrong before, so there was no reason for it to have done so then.

"Well, no." Linx had to repress a laugh at this idea. If it was about him, it would be about a weapon? What sort of logic is this guy following? Oh, right, he isn't. "Anyone I know, including you, in this context, I would assume would guess that it wouldn't be about a weapon, it would be about you. But thanks for the payment."

"I DID factor the location of the meeting in... If it had been in the tavern, I wouldn't have expacted it. But since you asked me to meet you here, I followed my instincts."
Smirking, Rai shrugged.
"I should have got it to you sooner, but I've been busy mending a broken bone, and building things."

"Yeah, that's... Nice. I was kinda counting on this coming in sooner, I've had to push back a bunch of my latest projects..." This latest remark was accompanied by a bitter look from Linx. A lack of virtually unlimited money hindered his ventures dramatically. So did Raiden's inability to pay quickly. "Now look. What am I gonna do with you? Late payments... By, like, a month..."

"I've spent two weeks building the things, and the other two selling them."
Again, Raiden was speaking the truth. Given the slow pace from his arm in the first week, he had worked exceptionally hard to catch up to his original estimated total by the end of the second week, then spent two weeks selling half his stock.

Linx didn't like excuses that much. Despite the fact that he'd inflicted an injury on Raiden in the first place, he couldn't make himself less exasperated with reason. He could contain it, but that was a different story; moreover, it was one he didn't want to actually go through. "Congrats. I'm still set back regardless."

Holding up another back of money, this time full of the money he always carried with him anyway, he tossed that over.
"That should cover expenses from the late payment."

Upon catching and examining this bag, Linx found that it was an amalgam of types of coins. He set it on the counter anyway, realizing that it was Raiden's own money but refraining from commenting on it. "Yeah, it should. Not that I'm gonna... Count it or anything... Is there anything your family hasn't given me when I asked for it, at some point or another, anyway?"

"Dunno... I seem to provide money more than anything else."
Shrugging, the mouse half turned to go.
"Was there anything else you wanted, or do I walk off now?"
