Demaht moved with him, once again blocking his path. "Stupid boy! Ya don't get it! It ain't his! That's why I ain't goin' back and that's why ya gotta keep it." She wasn't sure how else to explain this to the dolt! It was so obvious, but maybe he had moths where his brain ought to be, and she was starting to grow thin on patience. Anyone else would have taken the bait by now, but he just wanted to take her back!

It was infuriating! And downright insulting, and she could feel herself growing hotter, feel the air around her heat, but she pushed it down in favor of one last tactic.

Ugh, she hated doing this, but maybe...?

A stricken look crossed her face, like Gospel had wrenched a puppy from her hands and beat it to death in front of her, and she slumped in defeat. She couldn't cry; she completely lacked that capacity. But she had become very good at imitating what crying looked like, minus the tears: the crushed look, the bright eyes. She took a deep breath. "Ya don't understand," she mumbled, looking down and away. "I'm a djinn. That necklace...it's not just a necklace. It's my everything. It is me. Please don't make me go back."

Gospel moved to step around her—again—but suddenly she was like a different woman.  He was loathe to walk away from a distressed female, though he kicked himself for that.  This was like to be his only chance to get away from her given her tenacity.

"Ah...please don't cry."  His hand hovered over her shoulder.  He wanted to comfort her in some way but didn't want to touch her.  It was inappropriate, and she was hysterical besides and unpredictable.  "I don't understand.  The merchant has held the necklace before.  Why does it matter if he holds it or I do?"

Gospel may have hovered, but Demaht closed the distance, throwing herself into his arms and clinging desperately to him.

"Because," she moaned, burying her face against his chest. It was the only way she could hide her grin because it had worked and now she had him. She forced a shudder, trembling against him. "Because he's awful to me! Please don't make me go back!"

That was a lie; she didn't know who the merchant was. He could have been decent as far as humans went. For now, however, she'd decided she liked this one; he seemed easy enough to influence and that was exactly how she liked them.

Gospel staggered back a step.  "But, how did you—"

He broke off and stood awkwardly with his hands at his sides.  There were more questions on his lips, such as how ownership of the necklace—and thus of her, he supposed—was determined, but the poor woman was near out of her mind and they were drawing stares.

"I...suppose...I could buy it from him."

It was like a switch flipped in Demaht's brain.

She pulled back a little and flashed a brilliant smile up at the man. "Oh, would ya?" she said, and nuzzled her cheek against his chest. "Ya wonderful, wonderful man! I'll be sure to reward ya graciously!" Peering up at him, she flashed him a sly smile. "In any way ya choose."

The question wasn't would he but could he.  He didn't have a lot of coin on him and the necklace looked extravagant, if ancient.

"I will try.  Let's...let's just go."  He made to move away, though she was clinging to him.  The smile she aimed up at him was full of promise.  It was unnerving.  Once he payed for the necklace, what was he going to do with her?

Instead of letting him pull away, Demaht looped her arm through his and leaned in close so they could walk side-by-side like lovers. Her hand tightly grasped his arm; he may have been able to feel her body heat through his uniform for she burned unnaturally hot. Had she been human, she would have died from fever.

"Wonderful! Oh, yer just too kind, helpin' me like this. And this uniform," she said, kneading the cloth under her fingers. "What are ya, a soldier? Always did love a man in uniform, but what's underneath's even better. Such muscle!"

Of course, she hoped that if she talked and flattered him enough, he wouldn't notice that she was leading him away from the merchant.

"Aye.  With the Serenian legion.  Ah...some six years now?"  He suffered her proximity as long as he could, but the contact and the intimacy of the words pressed his nerves.  He held his arm out away from his body so they were walking more like a gentleman and a lady he was escorting.

Serenian legion. That didn't ring any bells, but Demaht wasn't about to admit that. She just grinned and leaned on his arm, sticking as close to him as she could.

"How utterly fascinatin'. Do tell me more. Yer job must be awfully dangerous--when yer not escortin' lovely young goddesses around, eh?"

"Yes...I suppose.  My posts are usually outside the city."  Gospel pulled them both to a stop, looked around.  "Where are we?"

He'd wandered out of the market somehow.

Demaht lifted up onto her toes and reached up, pressing a hand to his cheek and turning his head back in her direction. "Oh, what's it matter, so long's we're together?" she asked, and smiled sweetly up at him. "Or do I bore ya, sugar?"

"You're a bit trying on my patience."  Dishonesty corrupted the soul, even if this wasn't something she wanted to hear from him.

He truly was turned around.  The market a least, lay to the east, so he pulled her along in that direction, though from there he'd hardly know where to begin looking for this merchant.  He'd been flying when chasing the thief as well, and had been more focused on his quarry than where the crime originated from.

Demaht's smile twisted into a scowl, but she hid it against the soldier's arm as she pressed her face against him, trying to keep him in place. "Oh, please, we shouldn't go back there! Please? They frighten me!"

Gospel wasn't prepared to drag her bodily through the streets, so when she dug in he could do naught but stop.  "Who?  The townspeople?"

"Fine then."  He made an effort to detach himself from her without manhandling her at the same time.  "Then you wait here, and I'll go pay for the necklace."

"Then you go to the marketplace so I can pay for this."

Gospel started walking, intent on dragging her with him if she didn't want to let go of his arm.

Demaht let out a dramatic sigh, but she hooked her arm in his so it looked less like dragging and more like a lady being escorted. "Fiiiine. But ya promise you'll buy it? Yer not jus' gonna give it back? Ya'd do that fer me?"

Because gods be damned, if this was some ruse and he was gonna betray her, why, next master she got, she'd find a way to make them wish for this guy's misfortune! Somehow!

"You have my word as a soldier of Serendipity."  And Gospel was impeccable with his word.  Even if he didn't have enough coin, he would find a way to buy it.  Something clearly tied her to this necklace.  If he was to send her on her way, he had to be able to take the thing to a sorcerer.

"I don't suppose you know who owned the necklace?"
