Nagare has rarely been one to trade in currency. Sure, he takes it often enough with running a very elite brothel. But more importantly than that, he trades in favors. He swaps what he can offer for knowledge and magic he doesn't have. Recipes for drugs that can take down even a dragon. Things like that. He didn't really expect to capture the river's guardian with a fishing net.
