"One moment, por favor." She looks up as if she was in a daydream. Zach, I forgot about payment! Do you think one dagger would cover it? Otherwise we'd have to find out how to get some more money."

Zach shrugs, "I don't know. I think people usually pay money, but I think they allow work to pay off as well. They might take the dagger."
Joseph waits patiently for your answer.

"If we can pay it off with work, I'd try that." "Do you offer working off our debt?" She smiled sweetly.

Joseph shrugs and nods. "Sure. We could use an extra hand around here, keepin' the place clean and cookin'."

"Yeah, I can do that. Easy." She looked relieved. "Alright, so when should I start?"

"I guess you could start now and have a room by tonight. What brings you to this place?" Joseph asks, heading over to you and, upong taking your hand, leads you to the kitchen.

"Uh," she debated whether she should tell Joseph or not. "Uh, reasons."

Time skip to later when the chores are done and they have a room?

Yes please. Something tells me Selene is not going to be happy, at all.

Joseph leads you to a small but charming room. It had two beds like Selene had asked for, a desk, a chair, and a window that had a view of the nature around.
Zach wanders around the room by himself, knocking into things but quickly recovering. Pretty soon he had a basic map of the place and seemed pretty pleased with himself because of that fact. He sat on the edge of one of the beds, "Call it a night? Tomorrow we can find a more secure place to be."

(I has many a surprise for tomorrow)
