"No," said Minestus, scoffing. "At five silver a week that is two gold a month, so you would basically be taking over a year's advance. And so you mean to tell me you would not want any other time off? You would not want any spending money? Ridiculous." Astra pouted, and opened her mouth to give some retort, but just then there was a cloud of crimson smoke and a red haired, goateed man wearing an obnoxiously bright dark red suit appeared. "So the lady likes the bag?" he asked, bowing smoothly. "What the..." started Belboz, but was interrupted by a shrill voice coming from a little flamestone imp* standing by the suited man. "May I present his infernal Lordship Hafax Atcium, Generalist of House Atcium, Lord-Commander of the Sixth Hell Legion, Private Eye, Purveyor of Various and Sundries, Loan Officer, and High Archdeacon of the Church of the Twelve Hells, Multiversal Absolute Location TQ-291586." "Indeed," said Minestus, eyeing the stranger. He had not met him before, and indeed not ventured anywhere near that area of the Multiverse (and for that matter, he was a bit rusty on his 'Absolute Locations'). "I do quite like the bag," said Astra. "But I cannot afford it." "Oh bother," said Belboz with a sigh. "Now he is going to offer you something, and of course it will have a catch, and--" "Please, deplorable one," said Lord Hafax, with a broad grin. "I mean you no harm. I am on a... haitus, if you will, and have been hanging out here at the Starbucks for some time looking for something to do." "So you are trolling the handbag sale for chicks?" asked Minestus with a wry grin. "And if my magical senses don't deceive me, you are a half breed. Some form of devil and... ?" "A little personal for someone I barely know," replied Lord Hafax. "Anyway, Lady..?" "Princess Astra, if you please," Astra said. "And I have to side with Minestus on this. It's kind of creepy to appear in a puff of smoke and strike up a conversation." "Oh, sorry, a princess... that is interesting," continued Hafax. "Anyway, I was going to say I will be happy to buy you that handbag of holding and the only thing I want in return is to 'join the party' as it were and travel with you." "Travel with us," chortled Belboz. "Might be more than you bargained for..." "Enough, Belboz," snapped Minestus. "He doesn't need to hear of our troubles. I think we will be on our way. Astra?"
Flamestone imps are red and black as if charred by fire. They control minor to moderate fire magic, are immune to fire, and are quite domesticated by the devils whom they serve. They absolutely love the show Lost from Terra Prime and watch it incessantly. Most quarreling among the flamestone imps is between those who love and hate the ending respectively.
