Ves had a good talk with Tristan Wesseling.
The status between the two may have diverged even further in the past few years, but Ves never forgot the simple friendship they once shared.
This relationship enabled Ves to speak with Tristan on a more equal and casual level.
It became increasingly harder for Ves to speak to others without any regard for his elevated status and reputation, especially towards people outside of his clan.
This was why he still remembered Tristan and extended an invitation to him. There were many advantages to visiting Yernstall. Perhaps he may be able to find new customers for his products, or meet another mech designer whose design philosophy synergized well with his own.
Although Ves was willing to pay for Tristan's vacation, it was up to the former Fridayman to find his own opportunities on La Reine or any of the other planets in the large star system.
