"It was midafternoon the day before," said Ven'thur. "Right after I had worked out a contract with the Merchant's Guild that would cease their needless threats and grant us both benefit.

So, I went to Count Alexei for counsel."
"And how has he been doing?" said Li, curious as to how the count was handling this sudden upheaval throughout the city.
