Re: For Greener Fields
"Why, Shadow-touched! That is quite kind and thoughtful of you." There are quiet sounds of biting and chewing. "This is quite well-seasoned," Edgewood Dirk adds. "I suppose," continues the ... creature(?) between bites, "that it would only be fair for me to extend a kindness in return." Again, small sounds of chewing and eating.
"This diversion is productive non-use of resources temporal," snipes the blue humanoid at the table.
"Reductions in output causing, interloper," added the one on the left.
"But I think I can be of use, Subenvoy Ivannaxx. Your presence here, while unexpected, has provided me with some interesting insights." Edgewood Dirk chews and swallows again. "Kind Shadow-touched, I think that if you set up to trade in 184 days, that should allow more than sufficient time for the people of Canthus to fill, say, 500 square feet of components. And if Subenvoy Ivannaxx will be so kind as to augment your instant shelter with coordinate sigil, these eager traders will be more than satisfied with the venue." He bites and chews and swallows again. "Of course, you are welcome to negotiate your terms if you like."
