The gladiator shows them the two separate sleeping quarters on each side of the common room. He will take one, they will share the other.

The captain stops breifly and asks if they have all the things they need to have on board. He will set off very soon, since the seas and winds are so favorable.

The gladiator explains his task. How he will try to guide these two to a happy life.

He is going back to a life as knight in ranks, and is not wealthy enough to support them.

"You should announce right away on arrival that they have information worthy of immediate discussion. Tell them everything about the time they spent with the dragon. You will likely get some money in gratitude (do not try to negotiate before hand, just tell them first).

Then explain that you plan to stay and become citizens.

Using coins is part of everything you do. Places to stay, food, taxes, entertainments.

The amount you get will probably be enough money to start a little street café.

They are very popular, especially when they have a feminine theme.

A petitioner with the clothes and the accent is very good combination.

Ideally, you would get young women with just a few small decorative clothing features and few phrases to do most of the work during busy times."

The father interrupts, "How many people could live off what a café might make? Hiring extra people sounds too optimistic."

The gladiator explains that the rush time staff is not expecting to make a living. Usually young women who still live at home, working to earn a little money for something special.

"Also, if I am wrong there is another source of income. Petitioners and Envoys are well understood by government officials.

Private companies also sometimes do business deals, they are frequently overwhelmed during negotiations.

The thing that works slowly.

Easy words and solicitous conversation.

As the days go on, the petitioners become increasing enthusiastic and positive. Things are just going to be so great for everyone.

The deals are made in fervor of giddiness.

Only later, does the company realize the terms were not what they had planned.

Firms sometimes hire petitioners of their own. All they need to do is sit and watch for just one or two days . Saying nothing and leaving with a word.

The wave of giddiness never arrives. The petitioners and envoys apparently made to be self conscientious.

They say it works best when the ones they hire, feel the most sure about themselves. Mostly confidence on display."

The father chuckles and considers a living where you just go and sit, and then leave during a negotiation. Never once saying a word.

The ship journey is quick and pleasant. They have some to stand on the main deck and admire the shimming waves in lovely breezes.

They arrive before sunset the next day.

Such unusual calm seas and favorable winds for this season. The kind of thing where a fast moving dragon could create a high pressure zone that resulted in favorable winds. If a dragon wanted to do that kind of thing.
