Happy Life

- This is Kaya,” Raphael remembered, realizing he had forgotten to introduce his concubine. “Kaya is Inar. She’s not very talkative, so don’t let that bother you.”
He stirred his spoon in the glass.
- Thank you again for the building and for the space in “Bivreste.” You have a funny fellow working there. You know, I think that if you somehow formalized all of this, making it more accessible to casual visitors, it could theoretically become a very interesting and profitable place, or even an entire network with this unique touch. You would just need to carefully balance practicality for serious clients who are looking for reliability, and a bit of mystique for romantic simpletons and all those whose mundane lives are made more interesting by these tales. After all, which would you rather spend a reasonable sum on? Some unremarkable piece of iron in a dilapidated shack with a gloomy, grunting, and sweat-soaked blacksmith, or a slightly larger piece, but accompanied by a colorful sales pitch that doesn’t stray too far from basic realism, in a beautiful store, polished by a servant with a plunging neckline? Which one would you brag about to girls and other tough guys in the tavern, and feel more confident in battle? The main thing is to maintain a degree of realism, so as not to attract lawsuits, - Raphael grinned, taking a sip of tea.
- I’m not sure how aware you are of the events taking place in the city, especially regarding my people, but the situation is currently not easy… - the fishmonger’s voice returned to its serious tone. - Almost all of our people have been sent to three different fronts - I don’t know exactly where and how intense it is, but it’s definitely not a picnic. Of course, I have no doubt about their competence and ability to defend themselves, but given the latest news and movements in the region, I can’t help but worry. Plus, there remains the problem… - he paused and took another sip of tea. - You seem to have some influence in Clematis? In the lower district and in general? Have you heard any news or rumors in the last month related to Baron Rogdan Kraffmeyer? The direct founding father of our humble organization.

My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.
