"Not to brag, but if somepony wanted you dead―" You lean towards the delegate and dip your head in the direction of the floor before glaring at the stallion with a small yet evil grin. "―You wouldn't be standing here now."

A merc in the background trotted close to your side, he reached for the dagger strapped to his left leg and waited for the command of his director. The Blue director quickly rose his hoof into the air, signaling the brut next to you to stop where he stood. He nodded his head and trotted away before finding himself next to his boss's side. The delegate's lips began to form a grin, soon after, a smile, and later, a loud laugh. His body shook uncontrollably and his face contorted. His laughter died as did his shaking. He looked up from his table and stared at you with a wide comforting smile.

"You... You are what I expected to see!" He leaned back into his seat and brought his front hooves together. He stared at the ceiling, thinking. His mind seemed to wonder. The stallion reached for the left side of the table and opened a hidden draw, bringing forth a large coin pouch. He threw the pouch on the old wood table and stared at you with a wide smile. "Heres your pay!"

You reach your hoof towards the coin pouch and open it. Large gleaming gold coins poured from the brown folded cloth. You stare at the amount of currency laid before you with amazement. The amount that shined in the sun was astonishing, your best estimate was possibly over a thousand.

But... Why pay now?

You look up at the delegate with wonder.

"I know!" He placed his hoof in the air.
