"Good afternoon, Ms. Aiko… oh? And who is that little fellow by your side?"
"This? Oh, this is Transcendent Ling. Wolfie, say hi."
"Hi, mister!"
"T—transcendent… Ling? Saint Athena's heir?"
"Sure. Why?"
"B—but… why is he with you, Ms. Aiko?"
"Well, why else? I am his favorite auntie. Right, Ling Ling?"
"Right! Auntie Aiko is the best!"
"..."
"So, about the contract we discussed last month. If I remember, the price you insisted on was a little on the heavy side. Something about my lack of credentials?"
"What? No, no… ahaha, that must have been a clerical error. Those darn clerks, always making errors! Obviously, the offer you initially put forward was more than fair, Lady Aiko!"
"It was, wasn't it?"
"Indeed! So… should we redraw the contract right now?"
That one went well.
"I hope you don't mind. This cutie is my close friend's boy… I am rarely in Bastion, so he insisted on following me around."
"Auntie took me on an educational trip!"
"..."
