*Marius Va Dori walked down the gangway of his ship onto the ground of Tonate. As the crew yelled out commands and kept the ship steady, Marius and a few guards walked down the streets of the city and headed toward the Maith Mansion. As he approaches the gates a guard comes out and asks who he is. Marius explains who he is and enters the Mansion. As he waits in the front hall, he feels his pocket and makes sure that the letter inviting him there is tucked away. This was an exciting day for him, as the Bradai Maith Trading Company and the Va Dori Trading Company had many similar interests and would be good allies, hopefully.*

The Pirate King had been hearing from his subjects all day, hearing requests from beggars and bandits alike. His eyes glanced over the long list of visitors that had piled up at the gates, and he was pleased to see the next name on the list. Marius Va Dori. 
 He had sent an invitation some weeks ago, and the fact that the Araedian had finally gotten back to him was a welcome surprise. "Next." He said, and two of his men went to go and retrieve the merchant.

Marius walked with the guards and approached the King. When he was a reasonable distance away, he bowed and smiled at the king. "Hello, Your Majesty, a pleasure to finally meet you. I am Marius Va Dori, if you recall you invited me here a few weeks ago to discuss business, I sailed here in hopes of doing just that. I have heard great things about you and am honoured to even be considered to do business with you." Marius didn't mind having to suck up a little, especially with a man like this. Best to smile in their face and stab them in the back. Of course, Marius wouldn't likely be able to do that with this man, Marius wasn't that stupid. Besides, there would be no need too, Marius could use the Pirate King and it seemed the Pirate King could use him.
