The old orc man smiled and reached out to the hand that was offered, shaking it firmly before moving away to walk away. As the orc left and she got her comm up with the cod eshe had been given, she was answered almost immediately by a figure of a asian man with obvious elven traits, a look of someone that could have passed for a rather serious, possibly a touch gothy model boy. The dark short hair was neat, and old-styled, small spectacles rested on his nose, but his voice carried a serious conviction as he spoke.<br/><br/>"The arrangements were made through a third party, but the goal was simple. Eliminate competition, secure the item, and if possible secure the services of the one that acquired it before we could." The man shrugged faintly, before looking at her. "I assume by the fact you are contacting me directly that the first and possibly the second objective are already lost. Pity, but not irredeemable. What I have use for is talent, and especially talent that is able to move quickly."<br/><br/>The man let his words sink in for a second, then continuing in the same serious and calm voice as before, watching her intently though. "If you are not afraid of work, and are able to provide as well as you<em>misinformedly</em>did to our competition this time around, I may have work for you. Best opportunity to scout out talent is often on the battlefield. On that note, the assassin sent your way is a failure for messing up the op, feel free to dispose of him or not, it makes no difference. If you are interested, message this number again in three day's time. If not, lose our number and walk away."
