    Lee is sipping his drink. "Of course, have a seat. 'She' has been oddly pleasant to work with. I'll order you something. Coffee?"

    Zachary, with little to do, continues to train. He makes a couple of rounds each night disguised in an old brown scrap robe patrolling the seedy streets as he brings some vigilante justice. He also keeps his ear to the ground about monsters or other supernatural threats.

    Lee sips his coffee. "Is Patricia going? I'm only really interested in her. Some same that given her level of training, she's one of the most knowledgeable people in the kingdom." He has a slightly perverted grin on his face. "Plus there aren't that many beautiful girls in Takuga, at least not ones that don't try to kill you."

    He smirks and finishes his cup asking for another. "So you're going to Tokugawa huh? Going to see Nova Ryu?"

    "Nova Ryu. She is the princess of all dragons. With the exceptions of those who decide to leave and go either independent, or serve other lords."

    He sips his coffee. "Our focus is mostly on the game. You see, warfare is but a game to us. Take your Crescent Dragon lady, do you think she could beat a Great Wyrm? That is why we invented the game. Fighting between two or more dragons directly would create mass problems, major damage to the land and cityscape. Making the act of fighting having rules and so on prevents such things. It also puts the fighting in the hands of the humans. If a dragon is so powerful that no human would challenge it, they effectively can't fight, and if they do try to fight directly, everyone turns on them. It keeps us in check."

    He finishes his second cup. "Ultimately our slow breeding and lack of numbers prevents that sort of thing from happening too often. There are hundreds of thousands of humans in this kingdom, there are at best a few thousand dragons."

    "The Crescent Dragon is just a title. However she is named that cause she is probably the only human worthy of being called a Dragon. Yes there are humans that could fight say, a wyrmling one on one, but she's probably the only one that could take a dragon of her own age, that is to say a young adult, one on one."

    He sips his third cup. "A few of the dragons asked Princess Ryu to ask her to change her title, but out of a combination of respect for Teru, and of Aisha's power, she declined the movement. Some suggested trial by combat, but there was no way to make the trial fair, and just. A human and a dragon's fighting style are too different to make a fair fight out of."

    He downs the third cup, if it wasn't for the fact this guy was a dragon and not a human he'd probably need a bathroom.

    "Of course there are all kinds of rumours surrounding the various humans who run around this kingdom, from Aisha, to Teru, to the various lords of the realm. Everyone has a rumour about them, some multiple."

    He smiles. "Nova is the dragon who judges the game, show yourself as a just person, think tactically, she is impressed by intelligence and reason. As well as an ethical centre. She is not one to be bribed with money."

    Your primary job is to do whatever they tell you to. You're mostly assigned to work with Mana due to your ummm.. "former closeness". Your ranking is the lowest rank due to you having no actual merchant training. Your source is small commission on random jobs.

    Mana is helpful in this, and encourages you to try and keep learning. She also tries to keep your chin up, as shippers always need bodyguards, and your fighting skills are far above hers.

    If you need anything just tell me, as I have the highest money-making rate, I suppose we could treat it more like a group funds.

    At the end of the week your father comes in and looks over your work. "See you don't need my help to do work." He looks over your papers and healing belt. "Healing belts are good items to have, and you made a fair bit of money too. Of course it's always good to experiment some, that's how you learn the fastest, book learning will only get you so far."

    He pats you on the back. "I have something to ask of you before you go to Tokugawa. There is a young woman from there, who needs to go back, I was wondering if she could hitch a ride with your caravan."

    Edit: Also I checked your sheet. Didn't I give 1000 xp for the festival not 100? Or am I missing something?
