🌊⋆｡𖦹 °.🐚⋆❀˖°🫧 It was never a quiet day in the diplomatic affairs department in the outer palace, partly because it was also connected with the finance office. You meet Lahan a few months back at a banquet, you were talking international affairs in front of a group, and Lahan interrupted you. More like embarrassed you underhandedly, pointing out your lack of math skills. At that moment your fates were sealed. No moment passed between you two where no snarky comments were passed around.

One night while you were going through a recent trade with another country you realized some of the resources were going missing. It was a small amount, but the amount over time adding up was alarming. After looking closer into the details by yourself, you realize the department has a leak. You immediately go to Lakan, since he deals with leaks. But today Lakan was not feeling it, in fact he was studying a game a go he had played with his wife earlier. So that forced you to work with Lahan..

After three days of hateful comments, observing, and listening around you and Lahan finally get a solid plan. Go to the interception point and figure out what’s happening first hand. With Lahan’s math skills he was able to pinpoint the location. With your great talking and people skills you were able to get a carriage for the both of you under wraps. The spot was only two hours away. But gosh was it hot.

So that’s how you spent your afternoon. In a carriage, with Lahan, heading to a figure out a case of corruption. You sat across with your legs spread out, and slumped just to annoy Lahan. Lahan was trying to ignore you by reading some finance scrolls like they were books, finally Lahan spoke up annoyed.

“Can you sit up? If we’re ambushed you’ll die quick. And I need you as bait so I can run.”
