A prostitute sells sex. A courtesan sells entertainment (usually sex is part of that).

Wikipedia disagrees:
Quote:Courtesan, in modern usage, is a euphemism for a "kept" mistress or prostitute, particularly one with wealthy, powerful, or influential clients.[1] The term historically referred to a courtier, a person who attended the court of a monarch or other powerful person.[2]

Context in the fic makes it relatively clear which meaning is being used. Beyond that, I suspect that the entire exchange is in there simply because it's funny.
