Business is Business

Screen Shot

Miguel is minding his own business when Lloyd barges into his shop. The merchant demands that Miguel shows him the item he's been searching for. Miguel tries to play innocent, but Lloyd is fully aware that Miguel has what he wants.

Miguel tosses a rare gem onto the counter and tells Lloyd the price is 1 million G! Miguel's overpriced offer angers Lloyd. If he doesn't like it, Miguel will have no problem finding another buyer. Lloyd sighs and pulls out a counteroffer: two tickets to a sold-out play that Mina has wanted to see. Miguel thinks for a moment and offers to sell the gem for market price. Lloyd counters with a reduced price on account of how high in demand these play tickets are. The two men mutually agree to the terms of the transaction; Lloyd gets his gem, and Miguess gets the tickets. As Lloyd leaves, he wishes Miguel luck with asking Mina to accompany him to the play.

Outside the cafe, Miguel nervously gives Mina the tickets to the play. Mina is ecstatic that he was able to hunt down the tickets! She wants to pay Miguel and hands him some money. Miguel was about to tell her the tickets are free when he realized Mina had given him enough to cover the cost of both tickets. Mina explains that Madeleine also wanted to see the play! Mina had given up getting tickets for her grandma, but thanks to Miguel, now they both can go! Mina praises Miguel for thinking of her grandma.

Miguel feels defeated, though he won't show it...
