Preparing For The Inevitable

I pushed the ring back and said.

"I have decided to hand over the knowledge to the Blue Sun, if anyone wants to exchange it they'll do it with her directly," I said.

"Why? Are you trying to intimidate me into giving it to you?" I asked provokingly.

"No such thing," the Cryptic Sun said, "As a matter of fact you should rather offer it willingly for your elders as a sign of respect," he said.

"Sorry, but I believe in hard cold cash, favors are worthless to me especially if I don't see myself cashing them out anytime soon," I shrugged. "Also, as much as being in your favor is worth it to others, I already am in the good books of many other Suns, so it really has little merit to me to offend all of them for you."

The Cryptic Sun had an ugly scowl on his face, and the Flamboyant Sun noticed that and stopped the entire thing.
