Tazlure

Gerrard was losing interest if the small man kept on yapping and bartering more. Thirteen percent was not bad to start off with. Not bad at all. Bla bla bla council bla bla Emstellach bla bla bla . However, when the little bard used words like Baron, Count and King, the bearded man's ears perked up....

Gerrard looked at Dawn and smiled. "Yes miss, I indeed want to make tea. Brought my own, as a matter of fact." he said getting the tealeaves, kept in a very small wooden box, out of a pocket. The Roquean dismissed Elvin's glance, not bothering his mind with a thought about it's meaning. &q...

"With your contacts and family? Contacts I do not know anything about, that you haven't yet told me about. Deducting ten percent for that, five if they sound like good contacts to have. Family... you are not an heir, so what gives you the right to think you'll have them back you up financially?...

Gerrard was completely oblivious to the effects of the Bard's voice on him and did not know that Motley had gained some knowledge about the soon-to-be entrepreneur. "It is alright, Motley. I could not think that you should know how he was buried. After all, he was no family of yours." he r...

Gerrard had a warm and fuzzy feeling deep down inside as the different options played out before him in his head. A smile appeared on his face as Motley spoke of hope and optimism. Soon after the bard had ended his words, however, the smile made way for words. "I am willing, Motley, to work tow...

Gerrard smiled upon the payment they now had agreed upon. That was as cheap as it could get. "Indeed, I have been travelling. I have lived here for four years though, but I've moved back to Roque in the past few weeks. Piece of nostalgia maybe, I'm not sure. I grew up there, I know it, and I wa...

Gerrard looked amazed at Motley. "Why, sir, that's is most horrible. I'm glad you and your friends survived. And here I thought I was the one to have a bad time. Such hardships that fell to you and the city. I had wondered why the state of the city was so bad and why the city was more than will...

Oh no! She hasn't read it yet? Oh n... or is it good? If she doesn't know why I'm here, I might just be able to get more information out of her. Let's see where this will take us. I'm sure I can use it to my advantage. "It's alright, miss Audrey. These things happen to me all the time." h...

"Thank you, Aerin. I wish you a pleasant evening." Gerrard said almost monotonous as the redhead left. "No, sir. Please, do stay and sit. I... This has just gotten me by surprise. I wonder why no one had told me yet. I wonder who didn't want to tell me." he said, musing to himsel...

Gerrard had his eyes on Aerin as she spoke. The lady was... different... and heartless. There are things one should not say. And she might just have done it. It was not his place to comment on that. Not after just having met someone. Maybe she would be rather different than he thought. As he heard t...

Gerrard grinned as he heard the sound of porcelain. As if I wouldn't like tea... it seems to be one of the few beverages I have been able to drink the last couple of months. He perked his ears as he heard her voice. "Of course, milady. I will do that right away." he said, as he took a good...

Gerrard watched in amazement as she went around to clean up, get caught in work, clean up again, forget about him, clean up some more and eventually notice he was there. It did have a certain entertaining value to be in this shop he decided. He sat down in an open space on the sofa, pushing fabrics ...

Gerrard watched the whole scene smiling inside, more due to the entertaining factor than because of her misery with the mannquin. Of course, it would not help his business if he would be laughing at her. A bit chaotic, haphazard maybe... at least her creations look astounding. Let's see how we can g...

If only you knew he thought and repressed a laugh there. "Neither did I sir, but with becoming a man of trade, I might do so as well. Although for now, I only want to sell materials to tailors. In time though, I might walk around in those suits." Gerrard then discarded the comment on bein...

Gerrard thought back of Elvira. A beautiful creature she was. A bit rowdy, but what to expect of a pirate... maybe, just maybe... nah, probably not. "Her name you say? Elvira Rodriguez. Watch for news from the sea, soon she'll be out of port and do whatever she is good at. Don't ask me what tho...

It had been a long evening for Gerrard. He had been working on his expenditure prospects for a restaurant and copied them several times so he always had a few left to hand out to interested parties. He had slept in to the second mark of morning tide and, after a good breakfast and a drink at the Dra...

Gerrard seemed to ponder the possibilities for a moment, but knew that if he hesitated too much, he'd lose his possibility to bargain the way he wanted it. Having seen his former employers do business, he was quite quick to say "Sir, the idea of the jewels sounds just about perfect. I suggest w...

Gerrard nodded and let it all sink in. He had a big opportunity in reeling Andrew de Simon in and he would take some time to get everything done. Certainly, he wouldn't leave the Citadel before have written the plan down. He had to guesstimate for the costs though, but he would be able to do that. T...

Gerrard laughed heartily at Motley's comment. "Oh no, sir. Certainly not. Although a dear friend of mine who ended up in the Eastern Empire the same way did procure herself a boat and might acquire an armada. At least, I think that's what she would ultimately want." he said and chuckled at...

Gerrard looked at the red haired waitress as she asked to join and nodded to her in approval. A priestess of Pan... my my... priestess... and beautiful. Such a waste... she'd be a great hostess, if she knows etiquette. He tried to hide his thoughts in his words though. "A Priestess of Pan, a ba...

Gerrard didn't like writing evaluations just yet, but he did need the fundings very badly. He'd have to postpone his trip back by a day then. "Yes, sir. right now he cooks all meals for me and my staff every day. Unless, of course, I decide to eat out of the house. He's quite skilled I might ad...

"I'm sorry, Elvin. I haven't done this sort of thing before indeed. I'm but a mere Roquian from a poor family." he said as a poor excuse. After a short pause Gerrard continued. "Recently I returned from the Eastern Empire, as I've told you in the letter. I was washed ashore there afte...

"I guess I'll take your advice on starting of easy. OF course, your assessment of such a venture would be better than mine for you already have a blooming business. As for the estimated costs to set up this restaurant, I will make sure a report reaches you by tomorrow. I was actually planning o...

Gerrard clearly pondered the possibilities of what De Simon had said regarding the staffing issue. The man was right of course. It was straight in line with what Gerrard had said about the culture. He would have to do it slowly. Start out with a restaurant, maybe obtaining Eastern decoration later, ...

"Yes, you are right about the organisations. However, the ones that would come to such establishments are sophisticated enough to try and keep their hands clean for they don't want any proof that they'll be with a criminal organisation. I'm sure it could work out very well." Gerrard replie...
