This reminds me of one of an interaction I wrote recently in a fantasy novel. In a sentence, the novel is about an asshole rising to prominence as a warlock patron in a DnD setting by getting all the other patrons to gamble on his contracted warlocks as if it were sports betting before crashing the magic weave like the 2008 housing market. In the beginning, he's negotiating with an archfey who uses xe/xim pronouns (who's supposed to talk really annoyingly).

“You want an infernal ASEEC [Average Soul Equivalent Exchange Credit] spell? If you get one of those you’d sell me fae powers? What spell do you want?”

“One that would furnish me with an associate situated somewhere between a succubus and an incubus. Though I suspect the assumptions embedded within those terms render both classifications unsuitable to my circumstances, there remains a category of service for which such practitioners are reputed specialists. Should ASEEC settlement permit procurement without reputational entanglement or unnecessary inquiry, I would consider that a meaningful advancement in interplanar commerce.”

“So you're trying to…” I gestured a finger from one hand into a hole in the other.

“The approximation is more akin to this.” Xe held up 3 finger and wiggled xer other fingers pointed perpendicular to them. “We may consider the matter adjourned until such time as you furnish a use case sufficiently robust to distinguish this currency from decorative accounting.”
