<strong>Point Respite: the Quartermaster's office</strong><br/><br/>Nils nodded attentively as Aeryn described her request, but notably did not take any form of notes, apparently trusting himself to remember the individual requests of six people. When she made the suggestion of tents, he glanced over towards the indicated three. "Do you agree with her assessment? We do have a variety of tents sizes, though they all come in the "drab cloth" color, in case you're hoping for something fancier.<br/><br/>Eshalu's request was met with the same silent attentiveness. "We do have a fair quantity of more palatable foods, yes," he said. "The land is preposterously fertile here, which is something to be thankful for, however small of a consolation it is for everything trying to kill you. I'm no farmer, but I've never seen things grow more quickly."<br/><br/>He started, then, and turned back to Aeryn. "May I have that note, by the way? Vin doesn't' like it if they float around after she issues them. They're fairly useful, after all, at least until someone figures out that you're abusing them and you go in with the penals. Risk doesn't seem to have stopped many people, yet."<br/><br/>He politely turned away from the pair as they began talking quietly to each other, clearly not wanting to be seen as eavesdropping.<br/><br/>The quartermaster's eyes widened as he turned towards the other members of the group and was met with an offer of money. He clearly hadn't expected the quantity she offered, because the mild surprise turned into stammered shock and paralysis upon hearing it. When, a second later, he recovered, it was to nod rapidly and silently. He didn't' chance doing anything more, perhaps not trusting himself to not further show weakness in the face of her offer.<br/><br/>Reliyian and Erianthe both got quick nods of acknowledgement before the large man turn tail and fled back into his office at a brisk walk. Apparently he had reached his limit for dealing with attractive, wealthy women, at least without a moment to collect himself.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Assorted rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Laz's roll is, uh, obviously very successful. I'll demonstrate how in my next post, when he returns.<br/><br/>Reliyian, on the other hand, is quite convinced that Nils and Vin are at least somehow related. She does seem around his age, though, if not older. So it's probably not a relation of parent and child.</div></div>
