Gavin smiled as Lord Martinez entered the room. Now they could get down to business. "Lord Martinez, welcome. Now, we can start some of the negotiations before dinner. I trust you found your rooms acceptable?"<br/><br/>He pointed to the papers in front of him and Prince Tansen. "We were going over the new numbers for the sentries at either side of the NOrth Pass. Would you like to offer any input?" Gavin hadn't worked with Lord Martinez, but his father gave the man a glowing review. For most of the trade agreements with Danbar, Lord Martinez was the man who signed them. If anyone would know how the Loidite trade was, it would be this man.<br/><br/>Gavin also intended on talking to Martinez about the marriage of his sister. The king wanted Diane's marriage to further the treaty, but Gavin was not about to hand his sister over to a mage.
