The nobleman smiled to Tehr but he stood a little more stiff in his last few steps after the greeting, moving towards a seat while looking at Tehr. "Very kind of you, Master ir'Wynt." He kept a polite tone of voice but taking the seat he looked at Tehr seriously, his eyes look showing no love lost, though his lips still carried the smile that did not reach his eyes.<br/><br/>"I apologise for taking advantage of your hospitality in this manner but I believe there are some words that are best left to as few ears as possible." He cast a brief, serious look over at Angelique, who stood still at the time. Even if she was a good servant, she believed only her master had the right to dismiss her from the room. Casting a look at Tehr after a moment, the man seemed to draw breath and speak up whether or not the woman was in the room.<br/><br/>"I believe your family has felt its share of loss and gain in the recent past. Things dont always go as we envision them, but the future belongs to those that seize the day. Now that frau fortuna has brought the<em>kingdom</em>a supply of some fine Mithril, I would like to discuss with you about the acquisition of the said material. The Queen's Elite could certainly use it, and I would be happy to offer my family's foundry to help with things, Master ir'Wynt. As a show of good will, I would like to purchase the rights to your findings, and since this would be for the sake of the queen, I am willing to offer a fair price for it, making you and your family quite wealthy in the process."<br/><br/>He smiled while pulling out an envelope from his suit's pocket, holding it over. Within it, a single sum marked up, and not even the highest there had been since the news became public.
