I will make sure to reread the bit about elves. Thank you.<br/><br/>As for drug smuggling it is only a small part of Pieter's business, in the same way a trader of old would have quinin and opium and strychnine in his catalogue. Rest assured that his warehouse will also have barrels of brandy and rolls of fabric, rare wood material and exquisite bows and arrows. But when he is going all out to impress a new companion, the stash of exotic spices will be easier to drag around on his body. And more impressive too.<br/>I do doubt that Pieter will have let Hani taste too much of these particular goods. After all the price ticket is a terror. So: Pieter bring these goods as they are in his stack, and considedr them icebreakers and talking point which will loosen the talk. And of course, subtly to elvish wine.<br/><br/>CS, I will hope for the best for your mother.
