On the way back to the Healer’s Guild with Lionel and Ketty, I thought back on the events of the meeting. I’d actually just bought up the entire slums. I mean, I had been the one to propose it, but it was still hard to believe. All I had really needed was free rein, the leeway to act on our own in order to hide the construction going on underground. Maybe I’d overdone it a little.

Ever since the water spirit incident, I was being more cautious than ever, and now I’d gone and bound entire races of people to a legal contract. A physical one this time. I’d been relying far too much on the verbal, magical variety. Forence and the ledger discrepancy had taught me the importance of having things in proper writing.

Lionel noticed me lost in thought and smiled. “I’d say you’ve assured us some peace of mind for the time being.”

“I hope so,” I replied. “Still, we should put up the barrier around the guild when we go back to the forest.”

“That may be wise. People and their actions are unpredictable. You never know when violence might break out.”

“You know, Chief, you really laid on the pressure back there,” Ketty said. “I was a little afraid of how things were gonna turn out.”

“Er, sorry about that.” I’d been away from the business table for a few years now, and my negotiating skills could use some work.

“You oughta learn how to barter a bit more subtly, or you won’t get so lucky in the future.”

“Now, Ketty, he’s only twenty. You can’t blame the boy for his lack of experience.”

Lionel’s comfort was in vain. I might have been five years out of practice, but I’d spent the better part of my life making business deals, so it hurt to be treated like an amateur. In my defense, the political sphere was hardly my specialty. But I still felt frustrated by how ineffective I was.

“I’ll work on it,” I promised. “It’s a good thing you got that info on Forence, though, Ketty. Things might not have worked out as well if he hadn’t stayed impartial at the meeting.”

“Aww, all I did was give the scoop. You’re the one who put it to use,” she insisted.

Yesterday, word had reached me that Forence’s wife was blind. Or had been, to be exact. I had immediately gone over and healed her, securing the representative’s neutrality in the council. It was no exaggeration to say that everything had turned out okay in the end thanks to Ketty and Kefin’s investigative efforts.

I had to learn to utilize information more elegantly, though. I wondered if anyone would be up for a few roleplay sessions to help get me back in shape...
