Lorie blinked and looked down at the credit cards. Ahhh, so many. In any other situation, her eyes would have been stars. But all she did now was smile, nod shortly, and take them hesitantly from him. "Thank you Mr. President~!" she chirped, and turned to face the man.
She didn't know which one to pick, so she eyed the wallet for a few moments. "Um, so, which card do you think would give us the best benefits?" she asked, looking over them.
The man just gave her a look. "We don't take cards."
Lorie froze. "You- what?"
"What would we want with a card? It's useless."
The Turk swallowed hard, and suddenly, felt very sick to her stomach. This didn't sound very good. Not at all. "Um, so... what do you propose I-"
"Well, those would work." The man lifted a hand and flicked his own ear. Lorelei just gave him a blank look, apparently not understanding what he meant.
"Your earings."
"My ear-... my earings?!" she cried, not at all understanding the strange ways of this Paixao place. "But these were so expensive! How do you propose they are worth a simple train ticket!"
"What are you talking about? They're pretty much worthless, you should be thankful I'll accept that. They're tiny and all, so..."
Lorie looked like she was about to cry. Her face reddened, and she sniffed. "But daddy gave me these..." Even so, she hesitantly reached up and undid the piece of metal from her ear. "...Anything for Mr. President," she murmured to herself. "I promised."
Grudgingly, she placed the back of the earing down on the countertop. "Ah-ahhh," the man chided. She placed down the front of it. No way was he going to get both of them! "That's better," he cooed, and then three pieces of paper slid out toward her.
She pouted, but took them. "Okay, guys..." she said, turning to face them. "Here... here you go." She also held out Rufus' wallet, looking down shamefully.
