[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

The Elder sat for a moment, contemplating the various paths that could be taken from this moment. Eventually, he replied...

"I understand what you mean, and we also desire prosperity for our people, however, sadly, this prosperity usually seems to come at the cost of many lives, and while this may be the path the Gods have set before us, it is often sad to tread down it. This time though, it seems that may not be the case."

"Naturally, we welcome the many shipments of supplies your company brings us, and we know that for us both to prosper, we must allow eachother to do so freely. So, I will send word to the other Elders of the Council, should we come to an agreement, that we should amend the laws as soon as possible to ensure any and all of your ships are safe, wherever they may be."

"So, unless Elder Laowai has anything else to add, I believe we can finalise our agreement, as I am most keen to do so..."

The Elder signals to a scribe sitting behind him to begin drawing out a document. He then turns to Laowai and awaits his sage response.
