*Kaori gave a respectful dip of her head to the Minister before speaking in turn.*"I hear there's been a few issues going on in the Empire."*The Naga began.*"If I remember correctly, some thing's have been turning up missing; not ending up where they're supposed to be, perhaps?"*Kaori studied the Kemonomimi as she spoke as if she could receive an answer just as easily through simply watching.*"I simply wish to know what you know. You are quite renowned for your ability to gather information and work behind the scenes. If anyone would have the faintest idea of what was happening to the empire, I know it would be you."*She added with a smile.*

"My group knows many things. As for intelligence on missing gear, things not ending up where they should be... I believe I have intel. My sources say that the equipment tends to disappear on route. If I had to guess they make an unscheduled stop, or are being ambushed somewhere, and forced to give up part of their haul. But the intel further on is not the most certain, it is mostly just rumors."

*The Kemonomimi's face mostly remained blank, as she spoke, her eyes glancing at the potential recruit before her with a small nod.*

"As for other intel going forward, we shall see if you earn that."
Larry
"Of course, I'd expect to have earn your trust for such things."*She says in return.*"Perhaps I can take care of the issues along the trade routes in proving my worth here. I presume you know the routes quite well. I can gather a team to investigate and potentially intercept whatever it may be that's preventing the supplies from getting to where they need to be. Should perhaps take a little weight off your shoulders and provide you with more knowledge of what may be happening here."
