Oh, the awkwardness. That is quite familiar to Eddie. So he just nods and decides to drop that particular topic. All the newcomers were dead or close to before they arrived here. Heck, maybe Eddie doesn't breathe here when he's not talking, too... it's not like he ever thought to pay attention.
(He'll think of it later when he's by himself, do some tests, and come to the conclusion that he does still need to breathe. But for now he puts the thought aside.)
"Well, anyway. The way I see it, the stipend spread out over a month gives us about 3 brass per day, so I was considering that 5 brass might be what a regular work day is worth. But since this is more like... hard physical labor, that I'd offer 10 brass. I don't want to low-ball you, though. What do you think would be fair?"
