Re: In the Guild
"As one who was recently held in those locks because of who and what I am..." Virgilio has the look of one making the decision what to say even as he speaks.
"I might lend you the coin. This seems a much more proper use of these bonds than what I was subjected to -- though I'm sure your captive would disagree. I had never any intention of harming anyone, though.
"Let us say, I will pay the seven francs for up to a week's use, and you may owe me nine francs, to be paid when you can, but within a quarter year at most.
"Obviously, if the restraints are damaged while in your care, your group will be responsible for repair cost or reimbursement for the value we would have received for their sale -- which I understand to have been 120 francs.
Dilandua has made a different offer, which might be more advantageous to you -- or it might not, depending what you learn and obtain from it."
