** Elaborated on in ''Literature/LeiaPrincessOfAlderaan'', Leia runs into a bit of trouble on a charitable mission. The Chalhuddan leader she's delivering life-saving vaccines to rejects her gift, treating it as an insulting gesture that disregards their pride and strength. Being hot-tempered Leia yells at them for this and eventually they agree to accept and use the vaccines, but she must ask a favor of them in return. Thinking quickly she says she'll call it in at a later time and they agree as long as that time is soon. She calls it in later in the book so she can get word of an Imperial raid out to the [[LaResistance Rebel fleet]], and when she explains the Chalhuddans also contribute ships and personnel, which she says puts her back in ''their'' debt. The Chalhuddans are pleased - to them, debts and favors passed back and forth is a sign of esteem and respect done between equals and maintains a good relationship.

* ''Literature/TheWitchOfKnightcharm'': The rookie witch Janet Yawkly, who is trapped at an evil WizardingSchool where the students are allowed to duel and attack each other, is almost killed by another student but is saved by the protagonist Emily Holland. It's later revealed that Yawkly felt horrible about being unable to repay Emily for saving her life. Yawkly ultimately offers Emily the one powerful magic charm that she (Yawkly) managed to obtain, even though it's literally Yawkly's only remaining defense, just so Yawkly can clear the debt.

* Uncle Hoole of ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' is usually fine with owing people... but he hates to owe Jabba the Hutt because Jabba ''always'' calls in favors. As a shapeshifter, Hoole would make an excellent spy or assassin, but he's adamantly against doing that. Which doesn't mean he's not forced to ask for Jabba's help.
