I had to branch out a bit for this one! This is the intro to a new WIP called Demon in a Bottle.

In a world that runs on the magic of bottled demons, Millie is a freelance demon trapper, until she takes a risk that turns her life upside down.

“I’ll give you three cogs for each of the waters and two cogs for the wind.” Jun leaned against the counter, his palms on either side of the wooden crate. Hair, dark and straight as an iron shaft, fell into his eyes as he inspected the rows of clay jars nestled inside. “What about the dirt demons?” Millie crossed her arms and gave him a shrewd stare from beneath the broad brim of her straw hat. Her haggling face. She still remembered when Jun had been a grease boy, lower than the slag caked on a smelter’s boots. A crisp white shirt and a foreman’s apron wouldn’t intimidate her into taking less than her wares were worth. “Best I can do is a lug a piece.” Jun shrugged like it was out of his hands. “Last time you paid three.” “Yeah.” Jun scoffed, tossing his hair out of his eyes with a shake of his head. “And after you left, the floor manager threatened to dock my pay if I wasted good money on sludgers again.” Millie could tell Jun was dead set on the price by the tense line of his shoulders and the stubborn jut of his chin. She’d have to try a softer approach. “Come on, Jun-Po.” Leaning forward, Millie pushed the brim of her hat up so Jun could see her wide, pleading eyes. “I can’t ride out Stormtide on this.” She didn’t even have to fake the quiver of worry in her voice. Jun’s shoulders slumped on a heavy sigh. He wouldn’t go up to three lugs, not after getting dressed down by the floor manager, but maybe she could pry two out of him by stirring up the ghosts of better days.
