The large, slug-like creature arches an eyebrow, at Draiss' mention of not being by to pick up the reports. "That's unusual. Your representative has been stopping by, every month, as planned, to pick them up. A kitsune female, if my secretary is to be believed. Her references checked out; she is a known ally of yours, after all, and showed a remarkable knowledge of when to pick them up, and the passphrases we gave you, so I did not think...." He looks rather mortified, at the possibility of actually having been swindled, especially here in the null-magic region.<br/><br/>He does jot down some notes, at Draiss' request. "Nothing that I, personally, am aware of, offhand. You make tall requests, my friend, and have taxed my networks more than I am used to. Of course, information on you sells at a high premium as well. All meetings here are completely confidential, I assure you, as well as all of our agreements and their contents, but that does not mean I am not aware of, say, your personal investment with the Emperor and his daughter. Such a tragedy... I'm told the wedding was beautiful, until the interruption." He gives a slight wink, that anyone else might have missed, seemingly indicating that he knows more about that disaster, and might be willing to sell the information.
