You were already given the gold for the axe of Thoricles' Bane. 25,000 septims, as it was agreed.

As it was agreed, we will be paying Three-Eyes 25,000 septims for the services provided. I suppose you'll be given a percentage of this payment for acting as the courier, but that is something you must negotiate with the Argonian personally. Here's the gold. And here's also a receipt.

I would prefer if you gave the axe of Thoricles' Bane to me first before I give you the money. Please, don't be offended. This is merely a principle of mine.

You were paid, right? Right. Then don't bother me with this anymore.

And here I had hoped that the axe was a gift. A 'welcome back to Morrowind' type of deal from Three-Eyes. Tsk tsk. It seems that all these years of being a loyal client of theirs means nothing to that Argonian... But all kidding aside, speak with Vals Varano, my manservant. You'll find him upstairs. Give him the axe. He'll put in on display and give you the money.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Show me the axe first.
