Devaguea couldn't resist the urge to comment. "So all I need to do to get you to relax is hire strong, beautiful, competent and dangerous women? I had no idea you swung that way, but I could see about adding more if you want."<br/><br/>He quickly took to the sky, chuckling at the sudden blush both females sported, before heading to his afternoon stroll. Today he was walking near pier, talking to the workers on it, and listening to their complaints about the basic facilities they had to work with. He admitted that he wanted to expand the pier to a full on waterfront, but it would take time to get it in.

But if his luck held, he should be able to get the Waterfront in right after the turn of the year.<br/><br/>He gleefully assigned the centaurs to patrolling the lands near his border. While Brevoy was likely confused by the sudden movements of the centaurs, he was glad the tribe was tracking down and killing monsters coming in through the Icerime Mountains from Iobaria. He did issue orders for Korima to head to Restov, to let the Swordlord's know why the centaurs were ranging along the border, and to check for a few more magic items.<br/><br/>His own markets had been remarkably bare of magic items that could be useful to him and his. And although the merchants swore they would start moving more stock in, Restov once again came to the rescue with their slightly deeper stocks, and he was able to gather several notable items that would help the various advisors and guards do their jobs.
