Late at night at Horizon under a lamp a well off Lalafell is tapping his foot. He knew he'd be waiting all day but he's getting a little worried about the prospect of having to step in, until the sound of footsteps interrupted the thought. "Mr. Domino! The lad actually did it!" The pair of a Miqote and a Viera enter from the east. "Ah, and not a moment later. I trust everything is in order?" "Indeed." Kara breathed out, exhausted. Passing along a modest bag of crystal fragments. "Mm, I see..." The Lalafell took a moment to look over the contents. Only to guffaw. "Now this will only cover my dinner for tonight. But I'll give you credit, you listened to my instructions to a T boy. As promised, what's yours is yours again." From his coat pocket he holds the tiny rock and an envelope in the same hand out towards the Viera. "...Thanks" Kara is apprehensive. "What is this?" The Miqote well aware of what it could be is bewildered "You're not considering-?" "We'll see. This is a missive with my name on it, show it to any employer in Ul'Dah and you're guaranteed to get the job, whatever suits your fancy." "Just like that?" "Just like that." "No strings attached?" "...Well." "Oh here we go." "You look like a fellow who's too comfortable sleeping on concrete, so I arranged for a room for you in the Hourglass Inn. All you have to tell the nice lass there is that Dominick sent you. Should you accept this rather generous offer I will be expecting a yearly recompense." Kara just stared for a moment and just laughed. "I see, so this is how the Syndicate gets its funds, by laying out traps for us unfortunate folk." "Excuse you boy!" The tone from Mr. Dominick was more stern than what was heard all day. "I assure you, my hands are clean when it comes to my own wealth. I can't say the same for those at the top, I don't know them personally after all." "Wait, you're not a member?"
Putting it on the table.
