	Soon after Windbreaker had gone back to his post another gryphon in armour had walked down to her cell and had informed her that a sponsor from outside of the gryphon Kingdom borders. At first, it took her a moment to remember what was said about her getting buyers, but when she did she had gotten the hint that it would open doors for her to get more money out of the fights she was already winning. So she hurried to get out of her cell and fix herself up, and Windbreaker had followed her and the other guard. Although she felt safe with him she was deeply concerned that his presence would make negotiations.

It took a while to get there but once they were up to the visitation area of the facility, most of which was filled with mostly gryphons and very few ponies. So Bering escorted to the pony that was her supposed buyer, a well groomed high class looking stallion with a deep blue coat and dusty brown mane. Star sat down across from him and looked up at Windbreaker to see if he was reacting a certain way, only to see that he was staring down the stallion with deep hate. So instead she cleared her throat and turned her attention back to the stallion, who was now smirking as he pressed his hooves together on the table. 

“Well, we finally meet, how is prison treating you?”
Star shrugged and looked down at her own hooves and back up at him, studying his face closely as she at there. He met her eyes with a smile, before pushing a contract over to her for her to sign.
“Well, if you don’t like it too much in here I can offer you more money for your bail, but only if you agree to this contract,”
She looked down at it and read it, seeing that things were mostly in order she lifted her gazed into his eyes deeply, with a cold undertone that wouldn't fade easily as she tried to read his face.

“What do you want with me? I’m a bounty hunter with a shady past who has taken so many lives that I have learned to use my body as a weapon. I have won nearly every fight I’ve been in so your payment better be worth it,”
Star said coldly and was about to shove the contract back when the stallion placed his hoof on hers, making her tense up as her ears twitched down before she forced them back up.

“Don’t worry my dear, I'll give you some time to consider it, just give this to your escort and be sure to get back to me, I’m eager to know what you think,”
She got up quickly and gave the sheet of paper to Windbreaker as she glared hot death into his eyes while trying to stay mostly neutral.

“I’ll….consider it, but please don't touch me like that ever again,”
She turned to walk out with Windbreaker not far behind, keeping an eye on her as they passed the other inmates.
