Sword Flash didn't accept or reject the request. This made Quartzite unable to determine what he was thinking.
Quartzite could only bite the bullet and continue, "I was also asked to see if we could come to some sort of arrangement regarding Aries. I have been told that if you are open to sharing the resources of Aries with us, we would be willing to help you in exchange."
Sword Flash heard this and chuckled inwardly as he thought to himself, "If even we can't mine this world, how can I give you the permission to mine it?"
Outwardly, he also chuckled and asked, "What makes you think that you will have to ask us for permission to mine in Aries? Aries is ours yet."
The gem person also chuckled as he replied, "I don't know the exact details, but I heard that Aries has essentially been cut off from support, so you will have free rein to do whatever you want to do there. If we are to intervene, we will need your permission and help."
