Ander returned the Warrior's size-up, but perhaps not quite as aggresively as his counterpart. He turned to look back to his men once, almost offering a glare of confidence at the barbarian's note of their professionalism. However, he waved his hand to reject the Warrior's claim to their inferiority, and quickly retorted.
"You talk far too low of yourself, warrior. The Fianna Clan is one of the most feared military units in the Hinterlands... as a matter of fact, our contacts in the Imperial Intelligence Agency comfirmed that for us.
It is for that very reason that the Sapphire Guard seeks your friendship, as well as your business. I, on behalf of the men behind me and General Xind'ell, would be honored if you may speak with me on these points. Firstly, we would like to know if we can be of any service to you and the City of Archaddon during this time of emergency. And secondly, bringing up possible contracts and alliance for the future would be much appreciated.
I do stress, however, that General Xind'ell would like to cement any of our dealings in person, and if you tell us that our assistance in Archadoon would be welcomed, he shall travel here from Portshire with another 200 soldiers. For better of for worse, he always prefers being the one to shake hands on a deal, instead of arbiters like myself.
So, can we find somewhere to talk about matters?"
