[Did she forget? Or is it an act? ... No, she totally forgot. That didn't mean too much, of course, she was hardly a charity service and while Les' plight is worth empathizing with Nariko's got her own problems in life, for the price of "free" she'd be back in New York already. But the price in and of itself is perhaps a more nebulous and frankly unthinkable thing than the destined witch may be expecting.]

[How anticlimactic, but she grins as if she just told her about a cruise.]
It won't ever be anything you can't pay, or something you can't do for me. I was in London for a bit before this and I was originally thinking I needed to lay off the work for a bit? [To actually be home and sit with her feelings. To let things hurt for a little bit.] And then you texted me, so clearly all of that has changed. [A flit of her hand, her drink is almost drained again. Humid hot is so different from dry hot.]
There's no one waiting for me back home and frankly I've been hoping to find someone I can really spar with.
