There was a shudder and the star ship took off.
Sylas stood by a window, looking out as the planet receded from his sight. All around him, there were what were meant to be luxuries, but **they** seemed a bit dim and dull compared to what he should have received considering how much they had paid.
Of course, at least for now, money was no object to Sylas. The Golden Grove might be a medium-sized power in this Sector, but they were still a merchant guild. In addition, the entire wealth of a power in the hands of just one person would always be quite a pretty sum.
But after his time with Andromeda, Sylas had a strong understanding of the market and pricing systems in the Sector. He had specifically dedicated time to exactly that. Not understanding how much things should cost seemed like an unimportant weakness, but in action, it might be life and death in many situations.
