Who You Gonna Call? (Tagora x Reader)

" You've got Gor-Gor . ______"  Tagora's always honied voice came over the phone.  You had tried Tyzias before him but no luck. 

"Hey Gorgor , i'm glad you picked up." You knew you sounded unsure of yourself, which you knew was never a good thing to be around Tagora Gorjek. 

"I presume you're calling about the Chittr debacle? ________" 

"Yeah, Amisia and I have made up but it's still spiraling."  You flopped back down onto your couch. Worrying about chittr beef sucked, but at least you had a massive apartment to do it in. 

"Thanks for defending me by the way," you added. 

"Oh no problem you know I'm always happy to help, " You could almost hear his mouth slide into a smile, " However you do know I don't do pro bono work correct? _______" 

You groaned, " Yeah don't worry, you never let me forget."  Eyes squinted in frustration at what you knew was coming, you questioned your decision to take this to Tagora before Tegiri. 

" What would you like to speak on then, " he paused and you could hear magazine pages flapping, " or were you just calling to thank me? _______" 

" No I, " you let out a deep sigh knowing that you were probably making a massive mistake, " I need advice." 

You continued, " Amisia released a public apology clearing things up but people are still attacking me and I want it to stop."  Something you said must have been incredibly absurd or naïve because it made Tagora start giggling. Bile rose up in your throat it was so unnerving. 

"Apologies for having break this to you but it's chittr, " he was still giggling as he talked, " your only options are to wait or to delete your account. _______"

"Yeah, thanks."

He sighed. One of those sighs that's usually followed with something like ' what am I going to do with you ' . 

"So how much is that gonna cost me?" 

"Just the advice or the advice along with all the white knighting I've been doing for you? _____" 

"With, and you can stop now by the way." 

"I'd need some time to do the math, I'll text you the total when I've got it figured out." 

"Thanks." You hung up and buried your face into one of the throw pillows. Great. Now you had to basically stay off of the internet or else. Probably couldn't do too much walking around in public either. Being extremely easy to notice certainly had it's drawbacks. You stared up at all the paintings and tapestries that decorated the walls. Honestly this might be the one time that you  could come even close to paying off whatever exorbitant fee Tagora had for you. At least he came to your aid. 

You were sitting down to eat dinner, a real proper meal at that, when you phone buzzed. It was Tagora with the amount of all the money you owed him. Eyes scanned the amount as you absentmindedly took a bite. They began watering as you choked out of surprise. This was lower than any amount he's ever charged you! Even that time he made him pay you for giving him what he called a 'lack luster compliment'. Your fingers fumbled texting Tagora back. 

"Hey are you sure you didn't miss a couple of numbers or something?" 

"No, " he started, " I've decided to start scaling my bills to what people can actually pay._____" 

" Oh ," was all you could think to send back. Something felt very, very wrong here. 

" After all what's the point of giving someone a bill they can't pay? ______"
