“A secondary location…?” There was something he hadn’t considered. Maybe because he figured he’d be running this particular location for the rest of his days. But that was an intriguing thought now that it was there and safe to say his friend now had his full attention.
Technically, it was true he had enough money hoarded saved that he could probably buy a better establishment than this. He just tended to hold onto it for obvious reasons; given his name. But the possibility he could invest a little and get a lot out of it… now that was persuasive. The possibility of trying drinks from other realities was just gravy. A lot of it too.
“Alright so what you’re sayin is you need a client and I need a supplier. That’s pretty convenient, since I have a little more scratch than I… technically need” he had a hard time letting that secret out “So my question is; you got a location in mind, or do I need to go shoppin or summat?”
Ah, there it was - the contemplation, the intrigue. Admittedly, he thrived off of it; getting people to consider new ideas along these lines was already a thrill. The potential for good business, with someone he knew he could trust? That was quite the bonus. So it was with a little flourish that Bal pulled a small flask out from … somewhere in those many, overabundant pockets of his, offering it without comment.
He’d picked that particular little treat up from a pirate-run town on some distant world, some place called the Caribbean. Oh, what had it been called again … he never could remember, but what a time that visit had been. He couldn’t remember half of it, which was always a good sign. “I already have a crate of that on my ship.” he finally said, shrugging once again as if doing so were entirely normal. Which, for him, it might as well be. “And I know several other sellers who would jump at this opportunity. We just need the right place for it to go.”
Now, location was another matter entirely, simply because that hadn’t been a thought he’d had before deciding to come here. However, there was an easy solution, and once he’d heard the inquiry he put it forward. “As for where, that should be simple enough to decide on - I can tour the major capitols here and find one that fits the sort of clients we’d want to attract. You may have to find someone who can run it, which would cost you extra in paying them, but if you find the right person they can handle the higher-tier clients without you having to worry about it. From the front it’ll look like any other bar, but from the back we’ll be running supplies in from a multitude of places. I do the same for several taverns in Ivalice, and they’ve found the opportunity quite profitable.”
