Trading Secrets

"Since we finished dinner. It is time we talk business," I said to him. My perception of him changed from when I had seen him the first time.

From 'it', he became 'him'.

His expression turned serious and his stance defensive, ready to summon his weapon and attack me at the moment's notice.

"Don't be so serious. I am interested in trading, not fighting. If you don't want to trade, that is fine either," I said, putting the most harmless smile on my face.

"You will let me leave, if I want to leave immediately?" he asked, looking at me seriously. 

"Sure, but I advise you to wait a little. There are tens of soul senses moving around," I replied.

I could see a surprise appearing on his face before it had turned into a struggle. It took a few seconds for his expression to turn normal.

"What do you want?" he asked finally.
