"Mr. Oul."
Jin'li Epinoch turned. He was dressed in a black suit made of silk. A silver cane was in his right hand and a raven was perched on his shoulder, its glowing red eyes fixed on the elezen woman who had spoken.
The female paused to swallow. It was obvious she was uncomfortable in the presence of the eerie miqo'te and his avian companion, but she collected herself and went on, her hands clutching tightly the large book in her hands.
"Mr. Oul, we have received a relatively large order to a client in Gridania, more than our current agents there can supply with their present stock, and I wanted your approval to shift the requested ordinance to the location as soon as possible.
Jin'li blinked slowly. The female elezen never knew what her employer was thinking. The little male was a mystery, who made even less sense in everything except how he ran his company. He had been looking for an accountant and she had been in the right place at the right time.
She had never heard of Trythian Oul, or his arms company before the male had approached her, but she had come to find his company was already a well-oiled machine that somehow policed itself and operated without issue. Trythian Oul Industries certainly wasn't the largest organization of its kind but it was becoming a very profitable one and, by the elezen's calculations, well spread. At this point, there very few places a weapon bearing the Trythian Oul Industries' rune was not obtainable. And with the possibility of coming conflict in the north, her employer had shifted a decent chunk of the companies' resources to distributing their weapons there.
And there was even talk of shipping weapons overseas to the far off lands.
"Miss Teara," Jin'li said finally, his voice devoid of emotion. "Would you kindly see that our client has the required explosives as soon as possible? This one would be an unworthy man of consumerism if we did not offer the goods as needed. That would be rude, and we are never rude or unkind."
"Very well." Teara nodded. She had long since become accustomed to the strange male's odd behavior.
"Anything else, Mr. Oul?" Teara asked as she took a step back, eager to be out of the gaze of the bird that watched her.
"There is, actually." Jin'li replied slowly. "This one has an appointment to keep near Ul'dah and will be absent for a few suns. Would you kindly water the plants in this one's office and handle any business that arises while this one is away?"
"I.." Teara was unsure of what to say. She ran a great deal of the company, tracking the flow of goods, money, and needed muscle, but to have full reign over the company to make decisions without her superiors approval, even for a few days was unexpected. She had not been working for Trythian Oul industries that long.
"I will do my best, Mr. Oul."
"This one is most pleased." Jin'li said with a bow. "You honor this one with your acceptance. Though, you need fear not, for you shall not be alone."
As Jin'li rose, the bird on his shoulder flew off and landed on Teara's shoulder. The bird blinked and adjusted itself as if it belonged. Teara had to swallow.
"We will be watching you. To make sure you do not come to harm."
Jin'li Epinoch turned. He was dressed in a black suit made of silk. A silver cane was in his right hand and a raven was perched on his shoulder, its glowing red eyes fixed on the elezen woman who had spoken.
