Moving questionable goods in Gallia are we? Somethings never change.

I would strongly encourage you to build this newfound relationship, quietly and slowly. Naturally there will be endless benefits for you and your kinfolk in due course. But for the sake of my own conscious, I would also encourage you to be wary. The GNI are good at what they do, no mistake. And with their house so close to Kusari, I wouldn't expect any loyalty or assistance coming from the Hogosha any time soon.

I may be able to aid you in your endeavor however, my brother William has returned to BMF, there may be deals and negotiations which might in turn be of some interest to you. I have nothing concrete at the moment, things are only beginning to move, if you want to call it that. But I will keep you informed all the same, it could be nothing but still.

By the way, have you ever encountered the name 'Silverstone' on your travels? It was mentioned to me a few days ago, I know nothing of the man but perhaps you do. Let me know how things go with this stray Junker I found.

Warmest Regards:
