“It makes you wonder if you are trusting a Mesmer because you wanted to or because you’re being influenced too.” He took another sip. “It’d be nice to have a Mesmer on the battlefield, if only they could keep up with the fast-paced environment.” He chuckled.
“Well, it’s just a glass. But then again, a great bartender could make you drunk with only a glass or two.” He chuckled. “Rieger’s one of the best in the city” he paused and took another sip.
“I mean it’s been ages since the North have seen a major conflict. So that’s why I assumed that the merchants who exclusively traded in the Northern region would have to make quite the adjustment. But you’re right, better safe than sorry.”
As Axel raised his other hand to open another bottle, his hands brushed on the coat pocket where he kept the letter. He paused for a brief moment before reaching out to open another bottle.
Damn, I almost forgot about the letter. How should I work this out? Having a powerful connection in the North proves useful, but then again with the official writ from the Palace, it’d be wise to take a loan from the Imperial Bank. Don’t want to be scrutinized by the OIR or got a visit from the geezer. Cause the only time he visited is either when there’s death in the family or a family member got caught up in a major incident. It’d be wise to not let Claudia and the old geezer be in the same room too, they could go at each other’s throats. Maybe I could discuss a different kind of partnership with Kala? Perhaps, instead of giving the startup fund, they could invest in an airship or two and then will take a commission from there? Or from the goods perhaps? I should discuss that with her. Axel debated in his mind.
“That sounds great, how about we meet for dinner at Rieger’s three days from now? I’ll be looking into the ships’ documentation and have them ready by then.” He smiled as he poured another glass. He took a long pause debating whether to discuss the changes to his earlier business proposal or not.
“Well, one more thing I would like to discuss with you regarding our business partnership. You see, the letter earlier came from the Office of the Imperial Business Affairs. In my proposal earlier and from the discussion with the captain is that I’m looking for seed money. In light of this new development, in my opinion, it would be less of a headache for both of us if the investments would maybe be on individual airships instead of on the company as a whole? Could we work out something for that? Maybe like a percentage of an airship’s profits?
