Suspicion, instantly. She tried not to let the raw accusation of 'yeah, okay, sure buddy,' show on her face, but did allow the raising of a single eyebrow.
"What sort of a trade?" she asked cautiously. Not rudely (okay maybe rudely, her business voice was easily taken as rude, it wasn't her fault), just... reasonably hesitant. "Word of mouth, that sort of thing?" That's how she'd found out about his newly opened shop, and a librarian giving recommendations could be useful. She was hesitant about the idea of sending people here, though. Unless she just straight up didn't like them, which she was pretty sure is how she found out about it the first time, four years ago.
"You can certainly ask," she decided; there could be no harm in hearing him out, and he had just done her a favor. Also he was letting her still stand in his very nice office, which she appreciated. "If I'm unwilling to do it, we can always switch back to the money you have absolutely no use for, n'est-ce pas?"
Okay that had come across as a bit bitchier than she'd intended. She'd meant it to be a mildly teasing reference, but it came across closer to mockery than she was comfortable with. Damnit, this is why she kept things professional. She was terrible at being a person, in general.
