'I've got them,' Mark muttered to Ian's first question, aiming his weapon at the two fleeing dogs as its flames receded, then launching a wide horizontal blade of cutting wind that struck both at once, shredding much of the nearby foliage and slicing their limbs away from their bodies. A merciful death was granted by two spears of rock, jutting from the ground through their heads as Mark stabbed the ground at his feet. And after that, he let his magical enhancements vanish, the elementals allowed to rest for now - not that they especially needed to, with how much spare power lay in his blade for them to draw from. That, and their entire nature as beings of energy, but how that affected matters, Mark couldn't say.

And as for the payment... it would be sufficient for a quest that was ultimately rather simple. 'Uh, sure,' Mark agreed, 'I'll take both, I suppose. Heck, maybe S-'

A moment's hesitation let him consider that if Ian had seen his file, he'd seen his partner's file too.

'...maybe Syszi would like the... figurine, did you call it?' Mark asked, mildly confused. 'I wouldn't know about such things myself, so I suppose it's worth gifting to her.' And if it were limited edition, perhaps even moreso. Not that he had any idea what to expect from it or his ally's reaction to the item, but hey-ho.
