Standing quietly as introductions were made between the contrasting blacksmiths, V'aleera cleared her throat as they reached their conclusion, "Excellent; now that all parties have been introduced I believe it is time to begin the discussion of our present state of affairs and how we shall proceed from this point, yes?"
Reaching into the breast of her coat, she quickly withdrew a small but bulky envelope which bore a fresh wax seal, the crest of a house of minor nobility. Addressing Dunois she said, "Perhaps you are familiar with the Escalieu family? They are recent nobility, sponsored and vassaled by Haillenarte for their considerable success as a merchant family; they were and remain the head proprietors of Escalieu, Montois, Orleans and Sons Acquisitions and Transportation Services."
Continuing to speak, she idly tapped the closed package of parcels in her hand, "In our prior meeting, mister Osvald spoke of the efforts of this smithy to rebuild the otherwise neglected areas damaged in the Dravanian attack, and expressed his want of more materials. The Escalieu are one of many bodies the Holy See has contracted into salvaging materials of worth and value from the newly reclaimed frontier in the Western Highlands. I have negotiated with Escalieu through the High House of our shared loyalty that, in exchange for my own services in the field, they will avail to you free of charge any stone, lumber, or masonry in their possession which has not been claimed by the Haillenarte or the military branches of the Holy See."
She holds the envelope out toward Dunois, "These documents shall grant you the necessary authority to lay claim to any materials you see fit."
She turns with a grin toward the young lalafell at her side, "In exchange you shall allow my foreign accomplice the use of your tools and materials in the pursuit of restoring a weathered weapon of masterful construction that has come into my possession." She glances quizzically at Dunois and Osvald, "It is my understanding that mister Chachanji shall be availing his services to you as well; the specifics of that matter I shall leave between you. Of course, if there is any way I may be of further assistance I am more than happy to attend your call."
