Advertised that fact, and reminded everyone of it any time he saw
Lightning hiring. End of budding business :) Made a vague effort to find
Lightning and kill him, but not looked too hard or too long: basically,
just cost Lightning rather more time, hassle and money than he made.
After all, what would Lightning have done if Serpent had just shot him,
taken the goods and left?
