Leading the way to his cabin, Michael will make the Chieftian comfortable at the tabel and offer him a choice of beverage. Pouring the Chiertian his choice, Michael will pour for himself a glass of cool white wine. Taking his seat at the tabel Michael will open the coversation "We really dont know each other and are both emeshed in something not of our own making but looking at a brigther side, we both have strengths that can be beneficial to each other. I am not an easy m an to get along with and at times we will proably argue and fight over issues and become very frustrated with each other....all i ask is that we deal with each other in good faith and that should a time occur that we can no longer assosiate then we be upfront and tell each other and give notice that in 90 days the business relationship will cease to exist."

"Whatever you're having will be fine Captain," says the chieftan. He takes a sip of the offered wine and nods. "I consider myself a very easy man to get along with, of course that's because around here people do what I tell them," he adds with a chuckle. "I'm sure that is the case for you on your ships. If this partnership is to succeed we will indeed have to learn to bend. Ninety days seems fair and reasonable to me. Of course you make a break sound simple; however, the relationship between Chandar and my daughter could complicate things."

Sipping his wine Michael replies "No breaking a business relationship is never easy as it brings both pain, anger, loss and fond remberances of times shared. I meant to illustrate that should it ever come to pass there is an out that would allow us to part with minimal hard feelings and the basis for an independent friendship outside of the business. I have found that it makes life easier to part as friends rather than as enemies or with a blood feud. As to Chandar and your daugther, I am most put out with both of them for landing us both in this mess. Chandar may or may not have known that your daughter was aboard but the priestess and your daughter most certainly did and allowed it to progress to the point where we <pointing to the chieftian and himself> almost came to blows over the ordeal. " Pourins himself another glass and offering to do the same for the Chieftian Michael continues "I do have to temper those feelings though as all three have served faitfully and above reproach during our recent voyage and were loyal to the ship and it's crew often at great personal risk to themself. Thus i am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and belive it was fate that brought them together and I do sense that they love each other deeply. So what gifts i give with a an open heat and will remain theirs and yours even should the business relationship disolve in time." Excsuing himself from the tabel Michael will go to his locker and produce his satchel as well as the bag of black pearls. Bringing them to the tabel his places them on one of the polar bear skins. "As you are a partner in at least one of Ambar and my endeavors it is only fair that you see the frutis of our last labor so as to gage the effectivness of your new partners" Lifting the packet of deposti slips and bank notes Michael passess them over to the Chieftian. "That is not all of them of course just the ones from last six weeks. They would have been more but we decidied to trade much of our cargo for other items and a few baubles" Michael will then reveal the black pearls and the ice opal.

"I do take your meaning, I just like to get the unpleaseant thoughts etc out of the way first so as there are no misunderstanings...I have found it makes for a longer lasting and more profitable partnership to do it that way, My apologies if i have offended" Picking up the gems and placing them back Michael says "yes we have had some luck in gems as well as coinage. Do you have a preference as to what bank Ambar and I deposit funds in to support our ongoing ventures here in Tergere while we are away? Currently I am using the Farmer's and Miner's Trust out of Axipolois.

Smiling, Michael says "I have simply not thought of that, when shopping for banks I was looking for a local or semi local instituion with which to conduct business. Does the Captain's bank have a branch office here ?" Then taking a sip more of wine and relaxing his body language, Michael continues "Take your pick of one or both and we will establish the accounts before we leave I am indifferent really" Taking another sip and a few olives he continues, "Do you have any guestions or items you would like to put into motion in the first stages other than the dyes if so we can discuss them otherwise we can sit here and enjoy the food and let the underlings worry as to what mischief and plots we are discussing...sometimes it is best to let the wonder what the Captain is up to rather than have them feel they know everything that is going on"

He looks somewhat indignat. "I realize that Tregere is a backwater to you, but there is an Imperial presence here and so of course the Captain's bank is a part of the Port Authority here." He takes a sip of wine and considers Michael and his surroundings critically for a moment. He glances at the box from which the fine gems so recently emerged and swallows whatever question had come to his lips. "As for goods, I had not expected this opportunity and so have not arranged anything that would make a good cargo as yet. If you want foodstuffs it will take time to harvest and preserve. This years tobacco crop will not be ready for some months yet. We can of course pursue pigments and dyes, but I suspect that the stocks on hand will be depleted rather quickly. Tregere's economy is not current geared toward the export market except for tobacco and some dyes." He too consumes a few olives and adds, "I can of course set about changing that, but it will take time and money to increase production."

"I had not actually thought of it's assosication with the Port Authority, sometimes I tend to miss the obvious....then it is settled we will establish the account with the Imperial Captain's Bank. Do you think 10,000 gold will be sufficent to start out with? As for the other I am more inclined in creating a stabel base before we start to export start production. I am thinking it may be better to go ahead and secure breeding stock and use a year's time to breed up our herds after which they should be self sustaining. I imagive it will take a year to finish the warehousing complex, housing and dry docks etc so they should be ready at about the same time..."
