*Surprised because of the crashing sound, Akasha just about blurted out to ask about what happened. However, her words were cut short. She scratched her cheek after hearing what the midorite said about the lora. Was that the errand? For them to help him forge a scamming contract? Her expression indicated that she didn't know what to say, as she looked to her partner on the side.*
 
"Uh, hold on." *She asked the midorite.*
 
"Actually, we are.." *She began to say, but she paused for a little, waiting if Yughotta has anything to say about this beforehand. He should've known better what to say regarding this matter than her.*
Julia
"You know what's worse than a scammer? A racist."
*He looks to Akasha to gesture her to go along with it.*
"We come in here representing the proud and determined Lora people, and before even asking our benefactors name you assume they are a scammer? I guess all Lora are the same to you? That's a pity because I know they high a lot of contract work, and it would really be a shame if it started circling that this place didn't accept Lora clients."
*He smiles. He has done this whole shtick before, about half the time it works, but it also butters people up to actual requests when they seem more reasonable than this.*
Ann
*The midorite would frown,* **I'm afraid you misheard me, I said "That scammer of a lora," Not "Those scamming lora's," But since you've made your intention clear that you'd go that far to make me allow Epuluk to make contracts with me again, I suppose I should humor you. Why should I allow him to be my client if he scammed people with my contracts before?** *The contract specialists asks Uku. Epuluk must be the Loran merchant that the two saw earlier.*
Julia
"Do you mind explaining exactly what the specifics of this contract is scamming?"
James
*Akasha nodded, following Yughotta's lead. If the job that they need to get done is by convincing the midorite to make a scamming contract, then she wouldn't want that. But still, she really needed that necklace. They have to think of some way to make the lora satisfied with the errand.*
 
"We don't condone scamming as well." *She said, on behalf of herself and Yughotta. He works as a law advisor, surely he wouldn't scam people, right?*
 
"Yes, can you explain it to us?" *She said.*

"And earlier, I heard a loud sound from the back, is everything alright over there?"
Ann
"Do you mind explaining exactly what the specifics of this contract is scamming?"

"Yes, can you explain it to us?" She said.

**First, to understand his business, he buys jewels for cheap from mines, then using some of his connections he finds artisans specializing in gem cutting. I do not deny his products are high quality, but the price he sells it for is simply unfair. I don't understand how he even gets people to agree to his deals, he's a genius, I'll give him that. If you can get him to sell stuff without a 1000% or whatever insane mark-up, then I can take him in as a client.**

"And earlier, I heard a loud sound from the back, is everything alright over there?"

**Oh, I was just looking at some past documents regarding charity. Specifically a caravan donating food and clothes to a temple for the rights to sell their goods at the temple. When you called me out I knocked over a paperweight.**

*Akasha thought about it. At first she was being wary of whoever awaits them on the end of that lora's— Epuluk's errand. But after speaking with this person, she knows that the contract maker is different from him. He upholds integrity in his trade. She covered her mouth with her hand in the motion of thinking again. They have talked with Epuluk before, and know just how stubborn he is.*
 
"Ah, pardon me. Before that, I think we should introduce ourselves first, yes?" *She said, breaking off her forced casual speech.*
 
"My name is Akasha Isolet, a wandering priestess. And this person over here is my acquaintance, Yughotta Friend. Your earlier guess is correct, we were sent here by Mr. Epuluk."
 
*Akasha decided to be honest with him. Even though they might be able to convince or even threaten the midorite to create the contract with shady methods, she really doesn't want to do that. On top of it, now she also feels like she needs to put the lora's scamming career into an end, possibly turning him into a new leaf. She's quite nosey, in that aspect, particularly if it's concerning things that are wrong.*
 
"However, we didn't expect that the 'errand' he was talking about would be something like this.." *Akasha muttered. After that, she told the midorite the story which had brought herself and Yughotta to the contract maker's place, about the necklace and its ridiculous place, and about the agreement between them.*
 
"...And that sums it up. I need to have that necklace, but I also don't want him to continue scamming people. But he's so stubborn.." *She paused.*
 
"Do you know anything about his connections, Mr. Midorite? The miner he is working with, or those artisans?"
 
*Akasha thought that they might be able to force him to lower his price, if they visit his connections and convince them to stop working with the lora.*
Julia
"To be fair, we already got him to promise to cut down this gems price from his thousand percent up sale, but with what you're saying here, this goes way further than that. I'm certain that if I bring up having a witness who can attest to him having a past of attempting to scam people, we can threaten to have him banned from every major trading city by law."
*He smiles and nods to the midorite.*
"I'm a lawyer by the way, if you couldn't tell. And with your information I'm sure we can sort out him giving reasonable prices with a push in the right direction."
Ann
"My name is Akasha Isolet, a wandering priestess. And this person over here is my acquaintance, Yughotta Friend. Your earlier guess is correct, we were sent here by Mr. Epuluk."
﻿
"Nice to meet you two, I am a Tiltinwilkin."
﻿
"Do you know anything about his connections, Mr. Midorite? The miner he is working with, or those artisans?"

"That is... Not necessarily a bad idea. As far as I'm aware, their business model is that Epuluk buys their goods or services, but they don't really have a contract, Epuluk can just stop buying from them whenever he wants."

"Honestly speaking, I'm not the convincing type, but maybe you could convince them to force Epuluk to sell for a fairer price. If you have to, I wouldn't mind writing a contract that makes their job a little more stable for a time, y'know, Epuluk being required to buy their services and goods. Lemme check my city map..." *He would go into the back and rummage for something, dropping plenty of stuff, but he would return with a map of the city* "His connections should be over here, if you want to convince them."

"To be fair, we already got him to promise to cut down this gems price from his thousand percent up sale, but with what you're saying here, this goes way further than that. I'm certain that if I bring up having a witness who can attest to him having a past of attempting to scam people, we can threaten to have him banned from every major trading city by law."

"Fair enough, we could do that, but you really have to have a miracle case to do that."
