The business went as expected with exception of one flaw. I had managed to hire a tailor as well to provide needed disguises and such for my stay there, as well as more trivial tasks. The only failed business was my order of weapons at a earlier market I stumbled upon in Jhelom earlier on travels. Due to my many chores I had failed to send a letter on the date I agreed with him, I will have to try and compensate for this somehow should I find him again.

In Trinsic I met several familiar faces, and got to know a new one. Social activities were as expected for the few days I stayed, except for a curious offer. A girl named Jackson offered me and others some of her most exquisite rum. I must admit it enchanted my senses briefly, as I apparently agreed to discuss business with her regarding the transport of it. The duchy's guards with their curious nature questioned our motives but it seemed all too innocent with the free offers and all..

A day later there was a sort of family meeting regarding a few interesting matters. The first was an obscure abduction, I'd rather not go into the details, but I can admit it was an enriching experience which left you feeling tainted somehow momentarily. I was almost alone with the mistress and I tried to bring up the subject of my salary, but I was either ignored or misunderstood. It was not my main concern as of yet, at least she seems to trust me so far..

The second on the agenda seemed to be about naval activities. I did not get all the information as there were some confusion about the goals of these strange members of the family. I cannot help to get the feeling that one or two of them are hiding something sinister. They are all well mannered and shows great etiquette, however, one might say their motives are apparently divided as much as a real family . But the order and dead-calm atmosphere was an impressive display of organization.

I for one wanted means to supply any goal.. namely gold. I was so tired at the end of the night I had to be excused and left directly for my tavern. Curiously enough, only one of the other members showed similar signs of fatigue. After todays events I should perhaps make my way to Vesper next.. perhaps I should investigate the possibilities of a ship, I will consider it carefully.
