Miranda looks on in open amusement, "You will be cleaning that up afterwards," she adds to Calleigh.

Meanwhile, "50,000 gold, Brightwater standard minted coins." Is the answer, "The auction takes precautions for secrecy, freeing himself from the consequences of those precautions will not be free for my master."

[Yuthirin]

'Well that's entirely reasonable.'

[Anastasia]

"What I want to know is, why the hell is your master folding like a fan?" Dana asks, over her half eaten pot lid. "Shit like that's hard to fucking get, and if he needed it, bet his ass had a good reason for it."

Oland has a sip of water before replying, "I'm not aware of my master's thought processes in this," he admits, "So I couldn't possibly say."

[Yuthirin]

'Perhaps he's realized the error he made and doesn't want to be under the direct ire of Sune? That's not an unwise desire.'

[Anastasia]

"Maybe so," Oland agrees, "Well then, if you're agreeable, how fast can you get the money together?"

[Yuthirin]

"We still have a bunch of that blue ice stuff to sell right?" Calleigh asks, smacking noisily on the last of her pot lid.

[Anastasia]

"Yeah," Dana says, "We can sell that shit here."

[Yuthirin]

'An hour or two then, depending.'

[Anastasia]

"I'll meet you back here, then," Oland says.

Going to go cash in thing sand buy the Heart Ruby?

[Yuthirin]

Yeah, we'll sell everything not damage, and see if we can find a smith who can repair the damaged stuff.

[Anastasia]

Sure, go post your intent and profits over in loot.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough you return, Oland waiting for you and...

Go ahead.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh pulls an improbably large sack of gold out of her tiny bag of holding and passes it to Oland. "One humungamungabungous bag of moolah!"

[Anastasia]

The bag is taken, "Then it is agreed. Here." A metal box is taken out, placed on the table. "I suggest opening it somewhere private."

[Yuthirin]

"Will it explode!?"
