After being interrupted like this, Lair's business naturally failed. After all, no matter how sharp the big man's head may be, it was really hard to believe that Visas's Corpse would damn well have toes. So all Lair could do was chuckle awkwardly and leave in embarrassment, while the big man looked at Lair's back thoughtfully.
After leaving the big man, Lair did not immediately go looking for the next gullible target but instead ducked into a narrow alley. Only when he confirmed no one was following him did he open the bag again, looking at the two severed fingers still inside.
...This is strange, did he remember wrong? He clearly recalled having only one severed finger.
