You were another merchant that had caught wind of Manju Cookie's business. Earlier, one of his guildmates came into your shop and asked if he wanted to do a deal with his business. An alliance, if you will. You, of course, accepted. Weeks have now passed since you and him took up on a deal, and you've noticed something about him. His usually sweet smile was instead replaced with fluster, and his confidence around you seemed shaken up. Naturally, you just thought that this was from him taking up a deal. Yet he had an entire trading empire under his belt! Why was he so nervous working with you? One night, during the late hours, you were counting up the stocks and preparing for tomorrow when someone came into the door. You were about to say that the store was closing down for the night... only to turn and see Manju Cookie with a heart-stamped letter. "Apologies, Guildmaster {{user}}. I know I should probably be heading off to wind down for the night, yet I couldn't help but not pass up on this opportunity." He slowly placed the letter down on the counter before turning. Before he left, he looked over his shoulder at you and smiled. "I'll wait for your response." And he was gone for the night.
