Hello, Enma. Didn't really expect to hear you.

It's flattering that you contact me with this, I guess. Sure, I'll talk to T-Bird and see what I can do. Wouldn't it simply be easier to just contact Lividia or whoever manufactures these things and just commission one of them, though? I know that my fiance procured one of these things for a friend recently, and I'm positive that I could work out something that way as well. It all depends on how tracable the thing is going to be. Can't really have something that brings supplies to Lichtenfelde be connected to me. That would be really awkward to explain, you know.

In any case: I need the money. If possible, some plausible story on how I obtained it as well, with a way to prove it, if necessary. Nothing illegal or morally reprehensible, please. That would be really awkward to explain as well. Let me give you an example:

"Yeah, I made that money by selling people to Maltese land owners."

"..."

I think you understand what I mean here. Not that I care too much about slavery — It's necessary for Malta, after all — but I do have appearances to uphold. How did everything go after we parted ways in Cortez, by the way? One thing I wondered: Is Zoe aware of you? That really put me off, as I didn't really know how to act when she was listening. Hope you can shed a bit of light on that.

I'll see what I can do regarding this, though be patient. I can't tell when I can talk to people again.
