Julianna rolled her eyes, stepping away from Galith's shadow form. She knew Excalith was waiting on her, but she wasn't wasting her energy in limbo. "No deal," she said to Excalith with a smirk.
She put her staff on her shoulders and hung her arms on the staff. "House of Pain!" She shouted wth a sigh. "Or whatever the hells your name is. Mihi beneficium!"
The demon seemed to freeze at her words. No one had ever dared ask a favor of it, and she caught its attention.
"Nunc revertetur gratiam," she continued.
"Disputatio," the demon answered.
All of the fighting stopped, and all eyes were on her. She strolled around the Colosseum, intentionally creating a dramatic suspense.
"Time to pay the piper," she said simply. "I've assisted you in many ways, ya big sack of shit, without any payments. Now, my turn. You know for a fact that you would not be as successful as you are without my help, so it's your turn to help me."
She looked at Excalith with a wink, then turned back to the demon. "Alrighty then! You're going to let me pass with that guy over there, and oir little secret of your clown phobia won't get out into the living world. If you don't let us pass, we'll never do business again."
The demon was clearly uncomfortable by her confrontation, but knew that she wasn't bluffing. "Haec sunt quae concedenda," the demon said, allowing them passage to the second level of Hell.
