Now we're even. Plus hey, now you get some bonus points with your girl for giving her a present and all. Girls like... shiny things." Which in hindsight, a tooth necklace was maybe not a shiny thing like most girls liked, but it was pretty enough and probably more believable for Azure to give to someone than an actual shiny thing.
