*i will let Mava go and allow her to perform her duties. but i have a few conditions.*

"What?"

*firstly, me and Nue will stay by her side, and will live in your city. secondly, we will be informed of the outcomes of any rituals or whatever you do to keep the sphyx safe. thirdly, unless it is required for the safety of the sphynx, she will not be harmed. also, Nue and i will not be harmed by sphynx for any reason, period. fourthly, me and Nue can spend time with her and keep her happy. and lastly, and this is a big one: i know, from my previous raids to get Mava from you guys, that humans are getting close to finding you. if they do, you will be killed off and stuffed, or just blasted into bits. i can scare them off, as they inherently fear massive lizards more than winged lions.

so, do we have a deal?*

"Are you going to kill me if I deign to disagree?" She challenges icily.

*no. then ill renegotiate.*

"Then no deal."

she glared.

(is there any way i can word this to where i get the deal without killing her?*

(Yes there is)


She glares back, tail lashing.

she then made a deal in the exact wording needed to get what she wanted (because im too tired to type it out or even figure out what it is, its past midnight)

It's pretty simple- they don't get to live in the Sphinx home. It's for cultural and religious reasons- they don't like it when something that can't be turned is there. They don't even let cattle live in the Sphinx home. But, Goji and Nue are welcome to live literally right outside of it.
