It wasn't that Jesse didn't trust the stranger, it was just a matter of professionalism that she always counted money to confirm it was correct, and also to make sure all the bills were neatly face side up, everyone in alignment and facing the same way as was proper. Once she was done she returned every bill back into the envelope just in case her client wasn't satisfied for any particular reason.
She grinned a the praise he offered and gave her head a small bow. "Thank you. I was able to produce the radius of effect requested, perhaps a tiny bit larger. There are two methods to activation. The first merely requires breaking it. The second requires purposeful activation, you'll want to apply a gentle but firm squeeze twice to the poles then hold for three seconds, it will glow briefly to indicate it's ready. After that it will go off once your generic mage touches it. It can be disarmed in the same fashion if you need."
Jesse grinned at that, she was quite proud of the little activation method she'd managed to get into the device. It was simple, discreet, and didn't involve any odd looking glyphs or buttons that would encourage people to fiddle with it and arm it on accident. In fact she liked to think that the clean lines wouldn't encourage anyone to just fiddle with it, except perhaps a curious child but for some reason this man didn't strike her as the sort to have a bunch of children around. She really should get his name. She pulled out a small notebook and pen from her coat's breast pocket. "Oh, and I'm sorry for not asking sooner, but what is your name?"
