I see.
*His reflective eyes go distant for a moment*
You didn't think that important enough to tell me before, did you? Ah well. Have you got any information on my banker yet? Like who created that rather unpleasant hole under my fortune. Have you any idea what amount of money sunk into Hell with that move?
*Sighs*
I do hope it wasn't Rift.

You didn't ask and I didn't feel like talking about it. I'm not happy about that blade being sealed away in Azzgrat. Serenia couldn't find anything suspicious about the banker. I find that to be suspicious in and of itself. Especially since she complained that at one point she felt something dragging at her Divinations. I doubt it matters much now, though. He is most likely dead. As for the bank, it likely was Rift. There really isn't much we can do to guide or control his actions, since he could just shift the whole city if he wanted. Hasn't Alexander taken care of your loss yet? He seems to be covering everyone else, likely in exchange for favors and interest. That man profits from everything.

So that's where it is? That's going to get us some trouble some day.
*Sighs*
No, I imagine so. Ah well.
Nothing suspicious at all? I had regular dealings with him, if that doesn't qualify as suspicious...
Most likely isn't good enough. We've had trouble with bodiless deaths before. You'll remember that. Somehow dead guys who don't leave a body usually still inhabit it.
*Jingzu can see himself clearly reflected in the grey eyes*
You don't know then? I shall ask him.
No, I declined. I hate to be in his debt. I can take the loss, that isn't the point.
Yes, he does... He does. He sold his own mother while you were away, or so I heard. Bought her back a bit later for quite a bit less. Nice profit. Quite an accomplishment, considering the lady has been dead these thirty years or so.

Yes, it will.
Exactly.
Yes, that could be the case. If so, we will know he is a lot more than a simple banker, yes?
No, I don't. I try to stay out of his way whenever possible. It simply isn't worth it most of the time. I also didn't lose anything when that bank went under.
*He smiles slightly*
If I didn't know the man, I would have thought that an urban legend.

Perhaps. I am not happy at all about it though. It seems a very interesting coincidence.
*A smile passes over his face*
You wouldn't do it for the good of the population then, like the kind, caring Councilmember you are? Many poor people lost their savings in that little accident. I know, because we've had a score of new recruits.
*He leans against the wall and thinks for a moment*
While I'm here anyway... The price is going to go up. we're experiencing some- difficulties.

Already had some people hire a few Seekers to get their important items back. *He sighs* What is it now?

My point exactly.
*Laughs softly*
You're too good for this world.
Oh, nothing much. Just difficulties. Getting such things isn't easy. I got word that I lost two of my people trying to find it. Apparently they found a lich were there shouldn't have been one. Ah well. Anyway, I don't like losing people, it costs a small fortune in money, experience, and it makes the others sad.

I don't care how sad it makes them. There will be time enough for sadness later. What did you have in mind this time, Rumerin? Don't bother trying to put Serenia in the deal anywhere.

I said people, not humans. They were two Halflings, actually...
*He lets out a low chuckle*
Oh please. It's not like you care for the girl.

Sacrifices must be made. I care for her abilities, and I care that those abilities are for me to have. She works for me and has no interest in working for anyone else. No, I'm not as blind as a tapeworm.

If you feel that way, I'm sure monetary sacrifices are not a problem, either.
Yes you are. But that's neither my point nor my business at this moment. I do wish you'd stop beating her up though. It's rather unprofessional.
*He thinks a moment, the grey eyes slowly going through the room*
St Sin without the Setta Seru, hm. Interesting. And the Black Heart is getting married- goes to show you never know with Outsiders, eh?

To the last part, he smiles slightly.* You're one to talk.

Good, because you're not going to like the bill. Perhaps I should put more of my humans on it. If they die trying to find it, it's not such a big deal.
*His eyes calmly reflect Jingzu*
How long have you known?

The third time we met. A True Seeing revealed alot about a person back then... before said person found defenses from that particular spell. I'll never figure out how you did that.

That is good to know.
*He looks at Jingzu for a moment*
You do realise that there will be a couple of Powers not very happy with what you're planning, don't you?
*He chuckles*
Yes you will. Third time we met? That's quite a while ago- couple of centuries at least. Does anyone else in the Council know? Excepting Thiska of course.
