Eliza detests nothing else if not being ignored.  She glanced to her side where Nadira and Lakshmi stood.  She gave Nadira a small tile and said to Gull, "I'm going to make this simple, Trader Gull.  I'm the heir to House Dorcha.  If you want something from this family, truly want to make it happen, then you should know that I am the first, last and only person you should talk to."<br/><br/>Eliza spends a good chunk of the remaining dinner making sure that the Gull knew what their family had to offer.  She laid out what they needed, and what they had in a clear and concise manner.  When she'd laid out the offer, she spread her fingers on the table and looked Gull in the eyes.<br/><br/>"So tell me, Gull.  Do we have a deal?  Can we make this happen for the betterment for both of our houses?"  She decided to leave it at that, letting him accept her offer or denying and then vowed internally to deal with picking up the cards where they laid.
