[b]He does a 360 before continuing inwards [/b]

-
[b]One last checkpoint, and then his destination is reached. The Legate's tent was right in front of him.[/b]
-
[b]He searches for guards, as not to intrude [/b]
-
[b]There are no guards.[/b]
-
[b]He enters the tent wearily [/b] "Hello? Legate?"
-
[b]He sees the Legate sitting in a chair, his armor glinting in the small amount of light that was let in.[/b] "Who are you, Profligate?"
-
"I still have no clue what that means Roman." [b]He steps inside, away from the entrance [/b] "I am Magrim. Second in command of the Dight Legion. Current commanding general as the general is on leave."
-
"A pleasure to meet you. I assume you know who I am." [b]The Legate stands up, and turns to him.[/b] "What brings you here?"
-
"Straight to business. I like that." "I'd like to discuss a potential treaty or alliance between the Dight and your Legion. Whatever you may call yourselves."
-
"What are your terms?"
-
"None really. Just wish for peace between the two of us if anything where to happen."
-
"The Legion accepts your offer. Be warned, if any of your troops cause trouble in my camp, they will be strung on a cross like any other."
-
"No one will make trouble. You have my word."
-
"Then our alliance is sealed. Was there anything else?"
-
"That is all."
-
"Then take your leave. Unless you'd like to purchase a store permit or slave, that is."
-
"A slave?" [b]He ears seem to perk at the suggestion [/b]
-
"Yes. A slave. Someone who will do whatever you want, whenever you want. You can treat them like dirt, you just need to keep them alive."
-
"Do you have young men. Around 20 years of age?"
-
"Yes. Are you interested in purchasing one?"
-
"How much?"
-
"50 of whatever currency you have."
-
[b]He reaches into a pocket, digging out a pouch and picking out 50 yentons. [/b]
-
[b]The Legate takes the payment, then sits back down.[/b] "Your slave will be waiting for you at the gate."
-
"Our business is done. It's been a pleasure."
-
"Likewise. I hope to do further dealings in the future."
