Rico smiles softly, drinking from a pint of Ale as he eyes the lovely Siobhan as she serves up some pints for some gentlemen in higher class merchant garb. The three men were all tall, well built with neatly trimmed beards, their clothing in matching Ochre and black with differing pendants, probably depicting their status in the merchant guilds. One of them turned, seeing him and smiled, raising his pint.
Rico nodded, raising his in return, the tall, blonde haired and bearded merchant walked over. "Greetings, i am Ingacious Vossk of the Merchant guild, the lovely Siobhan was telling us you are a new arrival, your garb certainly shows it, welcome to our fine city." Rico smiles, nodding." Sergeant John D. Rico, you can call me Johnny." He indicates the stool next to him."Have a seat if you wish mister Vossk." Ignacious smiles as he does."Thank you Kindly, you may call me Iggy if you wish, my friends and myself are long time friends to Siobhan and she is quite fond of you Johnny." Johnny nodded, smiling."As am I, honestly, she reminds me of someone from where i come from, her name is Carmen and having Siobhan around... well it makes things far simpler in adjusting here." Iggy nodded."If i may, Siobhans father is a childhood friend of mine, so was her mother and I can without any doubt tell you that you have gotten the attention of one of Minas Tiriths finest young women, I ask that you do right by her my friend, she needs a good man in her life and form what people have been saying over the last few days, she has found one!" he raises his pint, rico does the same and they knock them together in a cheers.
Rico takes another sip as Iggy does. "Rest assured, I intend to." The merchant smiles warmly after taking a gulp of his Ale. He takes a small hanekrchief from within his jacket and dabs his mouth, nodding. "Excellent, quite so, now, I do hear you may need some of the services my friends and I offer, clothes, furniture, an actual house to live in? We can offer all this and arrange that a small percentage of your monthly Guard pay you shall be receiving goes into paying for these over time and it will not prevent you from liing very well in the process as well, the guard is paid quite well I assure you!" Rico smiles, nodding."I may, currently I am waiting on some new associates of mine but while I do, we can discuss about your offer." Iggynods and smiles, taking some papers from a satchel on his hip.
He places them on the counter."These are agreement papers that will allow me to, in your name, do some research and acquire whatever necessities you may need, the guard gets 500 silver coins a month, with say 150 of that amount I can get you a nice house on the outskirts and furnish it with modest but comfortable furniture as well as stock it with firewood and ensure high quality chopping and splitting axes are there for you as well as a sharpening stone wheel, that will do for the first bulk purchase and i can take 10 gold of your pay for 15 months time to ensure you can purchase anything you wish with the rest." Rico nods, smiling."very reasonable, now if i require, say something solid to hold my gear and maybe anything else I acquire over time?" Iggy smiles."Ah, well Marcus, the dark haired gentleman speaking with Siobhan is a military merchant and can get you anything you may need in that sense, as for clothes, Zacharias , the red headed man, is your man for say another 50 silver added to the bulk, 25 to each they can ensure you have a small weapons locker that can easily hold a good amount of gear and a good wardrobe ready for you when the house is purchased, they take payment up front though so that will immediately cost you 50 silver on your next pay." Rico nods, sipping his Ale. "I see, hmm all-right lets do it." Iggy smiles, clapping his hands and retrieves an ink well and a quill from his satchel, he opens the well, dipping the quill, singing his name on the merchant line then dips it again, handing it to Rico who gently takes it and signs the document on the client line. They shake hands as Iggy carefully stows everything."pleasure doing business Johnny. My colleagues and I will begin looking for what you'll require once we leave after having lunch and I believe your colleagues have arrived!" Iggy stands, bowing to him then makes his way to his friends.
Rico turns and blinks, seeing three figures in the entrance, wearing light armor under black city guard cloaks, all three were obviously scout archers of some sort, but what caught his attention was that none were human, all three were without a doubt Elves, by their fair complexions, pointed ears and gentle grace.
