A book and many things to do

[Anastasia]

"Of course," With a final bite the apple is consumed, core and all. Not a speck is left behind. "I find a certain restrained indication of violence saves everyone a good deal of misunderstandings. Especially with someone like Jarem involved."

To this Jarem smiles. "Your agent knew the risks."

"I'm afraid you're still mistaken on that being my agent," Agreil counters, "But history aside, the point is made and your considerations will be taken into account for any future dealings."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Very well then. We'll arrange the delivery of the items. And Lord Agreil, let us not be mistaken. Your restrained indication of violence isn't what won you this agreement. My attention being required elsewhere is. I'm here as a sign of, hopefully, mutual respect across lines. I found your people's bank and I cracked it apart in a matter of minutes. And kept it as a trophy. Your side isn't the only ones capable of implying force."

"I believe we understand each other well," Agreil says, "Tell me, do you deal in witchcraft at all?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I've studied it, but it's not my primary focus. As a new mechanical friend of mine mentioned, ignorance of any part of the weave is foolish."

[Anastasia]

"Duchess Rosier is always looking for new students," Agreil offers, "To study the arts of witchcraft in her name."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hm. An interesting prospect, indeed. I'll tenuously offer this: send an instructor of a sort to me. One shall we delicately say will be palatable to those with a more stringent view of the battle lines and I'll be open to meeting them. My realm is an Academy, and there's no useless knowledge."

[Anastasia]

"I'll see to it," Agreil says, offering his clawed hand out to you.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa shakes on it.

"Oh, and as a matter of courtesy, please have the Duchess restrict the number of spies she sends to my Academy to just the one. It is a bastion of learning and I'd prefer to keep politics restricted to only my personal dealings."

[Anastasia]

A mere smile is your answer to that, "I'll be sure to pass on your sentiments to her." He has a good, strong grip, you notice. Like iron.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Thank you. Now to the documents?"

[Anastasia]

Do you have any ranks in anything dealing with such things, Alyssa?

[Iron Dragoon]

I dunno? I have Calligraphy, Appraisal, Diplomacy? Any of those apply?

[Anastasia]

An appraisal check very incidentally, so give it a try.

This is mostly out of your depth, but it looks in order? Lots of technical words and legal definitions.
