"You have made a significant contribution, Ari. I'm serious. This will make Estia much more connected. We will also be much closer to our allies. It will be a new day when I can go from Ethos to Ariah in a few minutes. We will make so many crystals off those guys." Xasha grinned.
Ari burst out laughing. "You truly are a merchant at heart."
"Those fellows are rich, and we are poor. It's only right they share a bit of resource with us." Xasha justified his actions. Whether to Ari or himself was a mystery.
"Can't argue with that." Ari conceded.
"I have one final concern about this project. It is not really a concern, seeing as you have thought of everything, more of a question." The conversation became serious once again.
"What is it?" Ari asked absentmindedly. She did not know what Xasha would ask, so she did not think too hard about it.
