She waits.

The sun shines brightly on the open grasslands, a cool breeze blowing across the plains. The Drasnian stands at the crossroads waiting, rather patiently she thinks, for someone. The afternoon wears on.

She waits.

A cloud of dust appears on the horizon chasing after a horse and rider. The rider comes to a halt just before the Drasnian and waits while the dust settles. The Drasnian nods a greeting. Nodding in return, the Nadrak dismounts and reaches into a pouch. The Drasnian steps back, hand automatically going to her dagger. The Nadrak raises a hand and pulls a parchment from the pouch.

She waits.

...
"Have you been waiting long?"
"Only since mid-morning."
"My apologies. My horse came up lame and I..."
"No, no need to apologize. Did you bring it?"
"Of course. ... Ah, h...relax, I'm just reaching for the letter."
"Sorry, tense."
"Understandable. ..."
...
"Is this all he gave you?"
"Yes."
"Let me just read through it..."

Chewing her bottom lip, she reads the letter carefully. She looks up at the Nadrak, an unspoken question in her eyes. The Nadrak nods, then rummages through her saddlebag again, this time producing a large ruby. The Drasnian raises an eyebrow. The Nadrak nods again.
With trembling hands, she reaches for the gem, suddenly unsure if she really wants to get into this. The Nadrak smiles knowingly. One more time into the saddlebag, this time coming up with a small pouch. She hands it to the Drasnian, who looks at it quizzically before opening it.
The Drasnian gasps. The pouch is filled with red gold. Her eyes go wide and she glances around furtively before tucking the pouch away. The Nadrak grins. She knows the Drasnian is hooked now.
Glancing at the sky, the Nadrak notes that the afternoon is waning, soon to become evening. She mounts her horse, the Drasnian following suit. The two confer briefly, then ride toward the nearest town to purchase a room for the evening.

...

"If you're unsure ... this might help."

"I ..."

"This, then."

...

"Is this what I ... ok. I'm in."

"It's getting late. Perhaps a hot meal would be suitable now."

"There is a town to the east of here. It's probably not what you're used to ..."

"I'm sure it will suffice. Shall we?"
