It is both an efficient way to network and make coin. There's something mercenary about the work that you do... I have always supported those willing to make a name for themselves alone and through consistent hard work.

(servants tend to carry a lot of gossip around, bloated tales of obstinate royalty, slights against them, and the unseemingly nature of some of the manors they service. sebastian may likely be in the know about influential individuals or families in the area, which makes it clear to voryn that this is a man whose actions should be followed in the coming weeks and months.

it gives him an idea that is introduced into the conversation when sebastian mentions recommendations.)

I hope that your offer implies you're willing to make those recommendations now. I do not know the lay of the land, and I should like you to accompany me on a walk, (voryn volunteers sebastian for the role, language leaving little room for a "no." of course, this could only be the cause of a strict upbringing, always, in some way, emulating the teachings of his cold father and mother. this is a lord used to getting what he wants.) Come, this food is decadent and I am therefore full. We will away to Springstar's markets first, then visit Highstorm.

(leaving the banquet table, sebastian is approached so that they may depart together, still smelling of sap and soil. logic wins over instinct when voryn almost snaps his fingers for the man to do as he bids, instead tucking his hands away to behold him with a rare smile. he does not offer sebastian an arm, for while he is courteous and might have normally, this is reserved only for those that he feels may equal or exceed him in power. they therefore fall into step kept apart by space and status.

and they lived happily ever skipping from store to store shopping)
