Jim wasn't acting on impulse, after all his old man kept saying he was confident to help her. He seemed quite confident and Jim decided to give this a try.
'I hope you won't let me down,' he said.
'Since when I did so?' the old man responded in some arrogance, 'I know her race and know what they are after.'
'What?'
'Prestige,' the old man mysteriously said, 'her race always has this inferior issue regarding big races around. She will ask for something to boost her position in the community and make her stand out.'
Jim was speechless for a moment. 'She… this strong and feels inferior?' he was doubting his old man's logic.
'Just wait and you'll know I was right,' the old man simply said, 'she will ask for any old info, especially in skills like crafting. Anything she will ask I'll be able to match, and you'll just gain the fruits of my wisdom.'
