Location: Kirborg, Blackthorn Inn<br/>Date / Time: March 16, going on noon<br/>Tagging: Eztli<br/><hr/>The merchant looked at the mercenary from narrowed eyes, perhaps wondering if the man had so little initiative in him that he could not find his own words, or if he was concerned he did not overstep his bounds by speaking a wrong word to nobility. One way or the other, Alain decided, it could not hurt to leave his men with precise instructions, whoever took to the task eventually.<br/><br/>"The task would simply be to go to the castle and enquire if the baroness Waldgreen would receive, tomorrow, the goldsmith Alain of Scarborough, heir to the goldsmith Alan, of the same town, so I can make himself known to her and enquire after opportunities for trade in this barony. If so, at what time it would be convenient for the baroness, and if tomorrow would be a bad day, if some time can be found the day after tomorrow."<br/><br/>Alain rubbed his chin, wondering if there should be any extra instructions, but figured he had covered everything that needed to be said. "Of course the message should be delivered in a respectful tone, as befits the addressee, but you might not even have to deal with the baroness herself, but her castelan or some other officer instead."
