It took Ashur considerable effort to maintain his composure and professional demeanor.
— Hmm... To be honest, I don't have experience trading in non-humans. And I don't quite understand how I can positively present your product if, according to the rules, neither I nor the client can see it during the negotiation. It's like selling air. I'm used to guaranteeing the quality of my goods, but that's impossible in this situation. Evidence is needed to show that your non-humans are suitable for various uses. Perhaps your product is actually sick and disabled individuals, only good as biomaterial for experiments. Of course, I can emphasize your reputation, but, as you can imagine, my capabilities as a newcomer to the local market are limited in this regard, not to mention the possibility of new clients appearing who won't know your name. In other words, I would like to examine the product beforehand and personally create a description, otherwise I may encounter certain difficulties in selling it. In addition, I am interested in the security and confidentiality of this event. What guarantees can you give me on this?

— No, in this case, I am the seller, and the buyers are other participants in the auction who will be sitting in the hall reserved for esteemed guests. The point is that, as both the seller and one of the potential buyers of other participants' goods, I should not be on both sides of this event; this is a basic rule of etiquette in this place. Another element of this etiquette is that everyone present wears masks and no one uses their real names, so you don't have to worry about your identity being revealed; we all take this into account. By the way, if you ever want to sell me one of your companions,"—at this point, a barely perceptible sadistic smile appeared on the man's face, and it was clear that his eyes were assessing Ashur's reaction—"I am willing to buy Coriel for 50 chimeras, Coriela for 20, Airlys for 150, Lifu for 60, and Pizhma for 40. All you need to do is warn me about this and send the product to the designated location, and I will take care of the rest.

Given the new circumstances, this is quite timely.

Meanwhile, as Ashur conversed with his new acquaintance, Lifa decides to share with the squad information about Gilbert Filsvert's convoyers.

Frederic Poulsen

When your head gets stuck in a camping pot.

By the way, if you ever feel like selling one of your companions to me, – at this point, a barely perceptible sadistic smile appeared on the man's face, and it was clear that his eyes were assessing Ashur's reaction, – I'm willing to buy Coriel for 50 chimeras, Coriela for 20, Airlys for 150, Lifu for 60, and Pizhma for 40. All you need to do is let me know and send the "goods" to the designated location, and I'll take care of the rest.

— Your pricing criteria are very interesting, but perhaps we can discuss that another time.
Ashur commented, trying not to let on that he was considering the mentioned individuals as nothing more than mere sums of money.

— No, in this case, I am the seller, and the buyers are other participants in the auction, who will be seated in the hall reserved for esteemed guests. The point is that, as both a seller and one of the potential buyers of other participants' goods, I should not be on both sides of this event; this is a basic rule of etiquette in this place. Another element of this same etiquette is that all those present wear masks and no one uses their real names, so you don't have to worry about your identity being revealed; we all take this into account.

— Am I correct in understanding that, in connection with your desire to make some purchases at the auction, it is implied that I will act as the seller of your goods instead of you, and that this will be done in a way that prevents you from escaping or harming those around you?

— By the way, allow me to ask. I have the impression that you are an entrepreneur with extensive connections and resources – so how did it happen that you didn't have a trusted person who could represent your interests at the event?

I don't know what Ashur plans to teach for experience, but if roleplaying doesn't contradict it and you don't mind, we would be very grateful if you could learn the craftsman skill.

— Am I correct in understanding that, due to your desire to make some purchases at the auction, it is implied that I will act as the seller of your item instead of you, and that this item will be located nearby, in a condition that prevents it from escaping or causing harm to those around it?

— That is correct.

— By the way, allow me to ask. I have the impression that you are an entrepreneur with extensive connections and resources – so how did it happen that you didn't have a trusted person who could represent your interests at the event?

— I did have one, but, let's just say, the duration of his stay in this world unexpectedly came to an end, so I have to quickly look for a replacement. I have a few backup options, but they are all rather mediocre.

Do you think that was the Ditlind Knight you defeated?

That was Milo.

— I had one, but, let’s just say, his time in this world unexpectedly ran out, so I have to quickly look for a replacement. I have a few backup options, but they are all rather mediocre.

After these words, a shadow crossed Ashur’s face. An oppressive silence hung in the air.
Finally, he found the strength to break it.

— Well, I understand everything. Thank you for the offer; this is truly a new and interesting experience for me. However, this is a very serious matter, and I need some time to think about it. Please tell me the deadline by which I must make a decision and let me know how I should contact you.

— Regarding the fate of the bandits and the things they stole, I myself lost a little and emerged from the skirmish unharmed, so I have no particular reason to seek revenge. As for the others, I haven’t noticed anyone expressing such a desire. However, I suspect that Major Animeev Sergey Myslemirovich, the commander of the Refite outpost nearby, might be interested – two of his soldiers died in that attack.

/I don’t know what Ashur plans to teach as experience, but if the RP doesn’t contradict it and you don’t mind, we would be very grateful if you could roleplay learning the craftsman skill./

I was thinking about it and was going to roleplay the skill progression as soon as I finish here.

— I know about someone like that, but people like him only make me feel sad and annoyed, so let him deal with his own problems. As for the time... will 6 hours be enough? If so, you can find me here. Otherwise, I'll have to send one of my people with you to maintain contact and make sure you don't get lost...

— Yes, I believe this will give me enough time to gather my thoughts. If that’s all, I would like to visit the altar of Avaritia.
Ashur rose from his chair and prepared to leave.
— Thank you for the conversation, and I look forward to our next meeting.
