“why, it seems you have me all figured out! quite the eye you have on you.” he says with a laugh, hollow but full of enough pep to seem sincere. “i wouldn’t be a member of the guild without the right connections, would i?”
not that he cares for the title, by any stretch of the means. but it offers him opportunity, and that’s something he will reap. irida, in the same vein, offers him an opportunity now: one that keeps the usual mischievous grin playing on his lips, quirked at the edges. his voice is kept low when he speaks next, as if they were trading confidential information that could wage war between the clans.
“you’ve come to the right man either way; he’s an old craftsman who has been in the business far before our recent rise in interest.” the rise of sales, and their prices, have been steadily going upward with their arrival. good for business, bad for irida’s predicament of keeping it lowkey. “though i say that not without reassurance – for how much lower the cost comes to be, the quality is well above anything the general stores have been supplying recently. you have my word on that.”

❝ do i have much choice? as i told you, i need to keep things discreet, and though it pains me to admit, you and the gingko guild seem like the type who can do that when it really matters. so yes, i am interested. ❞
she didn’t much care for the story of what his connection was, or what kind of person they were. she was here for the promise of goods, not the promise of a story.
❝ may i be taken to them now? if not, could you pass along the message of what i need to your connection as soon as possible? ❞
