Thomas Minter knocked on the door and waited. He had just returned from a meeting in Trinsic and had much to pass on before returning to company business there. The door opened and a woman ushered him into the room.

"So how were things in Trinsic?" the woman asked.

"Complicated, but currently good for the company. I expected that the problems with Lilith would cause problems for us there, but Ironhorse seems most favorable to continued trade for now." replied Thomas.

"That is suprising! I'm asssuming all our other plans in Trinsic are running smoothly?"

"Of course. We have regular shipments to the city, as well as a few special shipments done by the Black Rose. I also learned from interesting things from Lilith's 'debriefing' and Ironhorse's openness. Lilith mentioned that Margrave left a will and a sister; I currently have people looking into both. Also Ironhorse mentioned that Galen had somehow bound Margrave's soul to his. It might explain the trouble returning her to life."

"You got all that information in a few days? I'm impressed."

"It has less to do with my skill, and more to do with the careless talking of others. What are we to do about Galen?"

"We wait. Someone will take a shot at him eventually."
