;Plot Summary
The dragon and Crow both say "What?" And Tress explains Crow is strong and unafraid of spores. Crow moves to silence her but the dragon says whichever is staying, he does not want them damaged. Crow asserts her authority and Tress points out this only makes Crow appear the greater prize. Crow says Tress is young, Tress says Crow is a challenge. The dragon does not favor a challenge. Crow adds in Tress's accomplishments with spores. Tress tries to be humble, which the Captain also marks for an advantage. Crow announces her crew hates her, and how Tress considered offering herself freely for the crew.
Tress appeals to his magnanimity with Crow's need for healing. Crow says she'd take the healing as a boon and go free.
The Tress that boarded Crow's ship would have accepted this fate, but Tress now announced she'd never stop trying to leave. He'd have to kill her to stop her. She is determined to face the Sorceress. The Dragon says he should keep Tress to spare her this fate, but he can see she will not make a good servant. When Crow tries to pipe up, he has her gagged by magic cloths. He decides on keeping Crow, since he needs a new floor scrubber. He asks Tress her boon. At first she doesn't want to accept payment for a slave. He says his cure for the spores would only be temporary so by selling Crow, Tress is saving her life. Tress asks three small things rather than a great one.
