Xi

Larissa charged Hypatia a nominal fee, she did have to make a living after all, though she told Hypatia she was giving her a huge discount so that Hypatia would tell any who asked the much larger number and not harm her future earning prospects, but the money she made wasn't the real payment. Larissa's real payment was the advertising. At the hair dresser's, and the seamstress's shop, and the hosiery shop, and yes even the little pastry bakery where they stopped for lunch, Hypatia gossiped with the local women about Princess Whysh's wedding. Larissa had even had the foresight to snag a few of the center pieces of mer-elf crafted shells etc. that were on the tables at the reception. Hypatia made 'gifts' of these to all the 'right' women she met. Each time struggling to part with one, as if giving up a treasured memonto.

How had Hypatia gotten an invitation you ask? Oh she was the wife of Anju Gupta of course. Who's he? Oh, you don't know? I suppose they haven't done any projects in Xi yet so that can be forgiven. He is the Regional Vice President of World Wright Incorporated, he's the one in charge of their construction division. What do they construct? Oh, everything really. They've done whole village construction to house more than two thousand people. Simple houses really, but the challenge was it needed to all be done in a week. Miles and miles of roads, and of course there is the World Wright Inc's own headquarters building, two hundred and fifty thousand square feet of offices and guest appartments comlete with hot and cold running water and air conditioning. Oh air condiitoning, yes... I've noticed that you don't have it here, absolutly miserable in the summer heat. Air conditioning lets you make the air inside the building feel like a nice autum day even in the hottest part of summer. I know, it's wonderful. Install it on an existing home? Maybe, but you would have to ask my husband or the company's CEO about it....

On and on the conversations went like that from shop to shop. Hypatia never missed a chance to talk up Lariss either, which was shocking to Larissa but she was certainly greatful...'yes I hired Lariss here because this is my first time in Xi and she wouldknow where to go for all the best things!" Larissa nearly choked when Hypatia gave out the figure for her hire, she had upped the already inflated number Larissa gave her by anohter 10%.

By the end of the their little shopping trip, Larissa had booked two new appointments booked, Hypatia had several formal invitations for social events and probably most important to the big picture Hypatia thought, Anju had many invitations as well. There were just too many who wanted to here about these acomplishments from him directly. Hypatia was purosely vague as to when and if they were available to accept any of these invitations, her husband was a busy man and only in town for a short while, evaluating a confidential project.
