Junia

The price of two mansions, reduced to a single sheet of paper, sits in the coffer. In this house's ledger, that's the one line whose ink never dries.

• GalbaMiss, don't open the coffer room at night. Candle wax drips onto the deed.
  JuniaDoes wax dripping erase the price? Then I'll open it every day.
• DrususThat paper cost more than the price I named. If you ever need to, I'll buy it back anytime.
  JuniaThe day your name enters this house's ledger is the day this house falls.

At the matchmaking meeting, the price of two mansions came up three times. I laughed it off all three, and came home and shut the door a bit harder than I meant to.

• GalbaI fixed that door handle just this morning, miss.
  JuniaThen fix it again tomorrow.
• DrususIf it's a match you need, I know a few good prospects.
  JuniaEvery prospect you know comes with a price tag.
