I.O.N.
Enjoy!

Lila glared at Dylan from across the table. It had been two days since the Red Lady had been destroyed and they were both still very angry with each other. So imagine their surprise when early that morning each received a letter, seemingly from the other, saying how sorry they were and how they wanted to apologize in person.
The glaring had started when both stated they were waiting for an apology. Only sheer stubbornness kept either from leaving. It had been nearly an hour, and neither showed signs of letting up, when the door opened for the third time and both jumped to their feet. "You two are almost sad you know that?"
"Who are you?" Dylan demanded.
The mysterious man continued as if he hadn't at all, "I mean like really really sad. Sitting here for an hour just glaring at each other, if that's not the most pathetic thing ever then I don't know what is."
"Yes. Very pathetic. Almost as pathetic as barging in on a lady's private conversation, without so much as an introduction."
The intruder took the third seat at the table and motioned for them both to join him, "Of course! Where are my manners? Ms.Lila, Lord Dylan, you may call me Charter. And I am here to sell you some very valuable information."
Dylan's interest was immediately piqued, curious to see what the young man could offer. Lila, on the other hand, was suspicious, "What kind of information?"
"If I was going to just tell it to you it wouldn't be a sale, now would it?"
"How can we trust you won't take our money and give us something useless in return?"
"You are a cautious one aren't you Ms.Lila? I can respect that. But I assure you that once you hear the nature of the information you will be just as excited as your partner."
Tired of the back and forth Dylan spoke up, "So what kind of information are we talking about here?"
Charter smirked, "The Tikki kind of course."
"Really? What do you know?!"
"Dylan, hold on a second."
"Why?! We can finally get a real lead!"
Lila ignored Dylan.
"What kind of price are you looking at for this?"
"I promise you money is no problem for me," Dylan said, still trying to get the information, "just name your price."
"As tempting as that is, I am not after money. I guess 'sale' is a little misleading. It would be more of a trade. You give me a valuable piece of your information, and I give you the information you desperately want to know."
Charter looked at both of them, "Do we have a deal?"
