Sigil: The City of Doors

"Master Tensar, Master L'Orr-hui." Pronounciation of the Illithid's moniker was very good, disclosing Akh's linguistic talents. "Until those future ocassions."

She also turned to leave.

/scene?

[i][b]''I will do so Ser Tensar''[/b][/i] they gave a nod [b][i]''Perhaps we will have the opportunity to talk about more in depth about the slaadi situation''[/i][/b]

They then turned towards the illumian

[i][b]''Mayhaps we will have to occasion to work together Lady Akh Uur Hoon. Until then.'' [/b][/i]

With this, they turned to leave

"Well, I'll take any other information you can get me. If it's someone reputable, it'll only help your cause. Cause, let me tell you. Nothing beats honest work. Findin' honest hard work in Sigil; it's quite the experience you get to meet all kinds of folks from every corner of the multiverse. It's like a grand adventure right in the heart of the city. And ya never know, some of these connections might lead you to even bigger opportunities in other planes! Meet people you'd never meet before, and building a level of trust with others who wouldn't give ya the time of day otherwise. This is my small part of helping this place, after all. So, get me what I ask for, fill out that paper work, and hopefully I'll get you something super quick."

[i]This flayer is reasonable and polite. A welcome divergence from the stereotype, hopefully not a ruse[/i], Akh thought.

[i][b]''Of course.'[/b][/i]' L'Orr-hui took the forms and studied them well [i][b]''I will still seek a proper recommendation, however. Your generosity is appreciated but I would hate to open room for exceptions to the integrity of your regulations if I can do otherwise.'' [/b][/i]

They gave thought to the rest of the conversation after a moment

[b][i]''As for the nature of the work you offer it is possible some might be outside my comfort zone but I find such outings to be a good opportunity to grow and learn in a way I would not have expected otherwise.''[/i][/b]

"I'll do so, Master Tensar." Akh accepted the form. She didn't comment on her Factol. She hadn't had any real contact with him so far. In fact, she was a bit wary regarding confronting their views on the relationship between Undeath and True Death. Utadas was right about Dhall, he had certain empathy and deep understanding of vicissitudes of approaching True Death Dead Contract peddlers like Mortai absolutely lacked. Part of why she was staying at Angyar's home and paid him rent - so that the poor man wouldn't be desperate to sign a contract with Mortai despite being absolutely not ready to accept the terms of unlife that followed. Akh cared because she knew that in dead flesh thoughts lingered, and silent suffering could extend into eternity.

The flayer tilted his head, curious

[i][b]''Must we understand that physical labor opportunities are the most usual one? It is understandable in retrospect...laborers without guild greatly benefit from having an honest intermediary.''[/b][/i][/quote]

"I mostly meant hypothetically sweat, but it can indeed happen. People don't often come to me to for just simple physical labor. Why, just the other day, I helped several individuals on a long expedition to Limbo on a quest to help cull the red slaadi population there! They won't be back for some time, and I'm sure they'll be sweating by the end. Nasty things, those red
Tensar thought shook his head. "Limbo being no cake walk, either. If you're lucky, you'll meet some friendly Githzerai to help you." He turned to L'orr-hui and shrugged. "Well, maybe not friendly to [i]you[/i], but to others out there. Oh, I could tell you about my experiences with those lizards...but we'd be here all day. Unless you want to, of course. Still, they're earning about a hundred gold a month for their efforts."

He nods. "Well, normally would outright reject you without a proper letter of recommendation, but, as a fellow business owner, if you can get me a signed document that you're up on your taxes for your business and something to ensure you don't have a record, I'd allow that as one and take you under consideration. Pending a proper interview, of course." He a piece of paper attached to a board of wood and handed it over to the Mind Flayer. "Just fill that out for now and bring what I've asked back with you and we'll talk again."

"I'll probably end up checking there as well, Master Tensar. The ethics of your institution has made me approach here first. As for vouching, from those in Sigil I suppose Dhall at the Mortuary is the likeliest to pass a good word as long as he is amenable to me seeking other work commitments than just to the Dustmen." She paused. "Like I said, I could also teach. My education has been made rather versatile. I was cloistered in the Convent of Aulasha, the Demigoddess of Books and Learning, for the entirety of my childhood."

"Ahh, I like the sound of that, someone wise enough with those sort of things. Can't exactly ask your Factol for a recommendation...nothing really against your faction, but your Factol is..." He just lets that statement linger for a few moments and just grabs the board with the piece of paper on it and hands it to Akh. "...Dhall, though is a good sort. Bring me that letter and I'll make a exception."

[i][b]''Must we understand that physical labor opportunities are the most usual one? It is understandable in retrospect...laborers without guild greatly benefit from having an honest intermediary.''[/b][/i]

They thought for a second

[i][b]''As for the letter of recommendation it was my intention to ask for the proper format before making my submission: I prefer my paperwork to be precise and fully adequate.'' [/b][/i]

"A scholar of Elirhondas, you say? Very interesting." He nods his head like he actually knew what that was. "I can't say I get too much scholarly job offers, but that's not to say you would be ignored. Tell me, have you tried the guilds? The Order of Clerks and Scribes may be looking for someone with the head for shifting thru notes."

The man nods and strokes his beard in the process. "Not to suggest I'm outright dismissing you, of course, just they may get more hits than me, even possibly a job at the Hall of Records or something." He then turns to L'orr and nods. a honest buisness owner looking for a side job? I can't say you're the first, but are things that bad? No matter, you Indeps are at least capable of understanding the value of work and commerce. This harsh economic times that even a Mind Flayer must do menial tasks to earn enough jink for a brain...dark times indeed "

Tensor shrugs and places his hands to his side. "Well, if you're willing to sweat and earn a honest wage, I have no problems with any of that. Tell me, do you happen to have any letters of introductions? Someone who can vouch for you."
