Innkeeper Negotiations
Hello Innkeeper, I would like a room please.
For the night or for the week?
The night please.
He smiles at me with a nice smile.
I return the favor.
With or without stains on the bedding? He asks.
I stare at him hard.
Without please.
Okay, he says cheerfully, but that will cost you double.
How much is that? I ask him.
Three hundred dollars.
For the night?
He nods, and tries to give me keys.
How bad are those stains? I ask.
