In truth it had been a while since she had to deal with court in a more formal matter since all at court were usually very close friends. She smiled at him as she took her place. "Forgive me, someone from my own household should have sent for all of this." Policy said food came before business so she started to fix her plate mixed vegtables and a slice of bread.

Matachi smiles "Keep it Black." He says "That sword was passed down through my family from generation to generation, its time it met a new life. Its a good sword use it well." He says smiling to him as his mind was stuck to what happen and who was that new man.

Lord Dracien chuckled. "I made arrangements the last time I was here, with your amazing employees. If I was ever to come again." The lord didn't go to the other end of the table, instead taking out his very own folding chair and sitting to the right of Katherine on the side of the gigantic sqaure table. A servant that had not been there a second ago, handed him a crudely made thermis of water. Both the thermis and the fold up Table had been designed and crafted by the lord himself. He only took some cheese and some of the bread. There was far too much food for the two of them to eat alone. "It's nice to finally meet you, Queen Katherine. Half of my subjects scream for your blood, that isn't really my concern at the moment." Lord dracien said conversationally. He chugged the thermis, but only played with the food.

Katherine then laughed as a servant filled her wine cup and she picked it up. Her soft fragile voice went into the air then. "Your hole country owes its rebuilding to me." None but one of all the people in Tesla knew what part Katherine played in all of it and that was there King. "So tell me please M'lord what is your concern at the moment?"

"Will do, Matachi. Though I really want to study that jewel. If I can find what makes it, I can synthesize another one of the same, if not better quality. It has some interesting potential." Black said, having studied it himself before. "Will you trust me with the surgery Matachi? Very well know, that if I don't succeed, you may end up losing a foot."

"And my whole country could also say it owes it's entire need of rebuilding on you, too." Lord Dracien countered, chuckling. He leaned back in his fold up chair, which creaked threatenly. It didn't seem to like it's lord's bottom, but then again few did. Lord Dracien was staring pleasently at all the food in front of him. His voice was strong, and seemed to end all the doubts in the world with concrete. It was in stark contrast to Katherine's voice. "You should know by now, that I refused to take any part in the war. It may have left me with the hatred of my fellow countrymen, but the benefits are still with me today. I still have my own armsmen, and my very own fleet of ships. The last one, the fleet of ships is the buisness I have with you. While I have destroyed the last traces of pirates in my waters, I have been losing shipments in Llyr's waters." The lord said as he handed his homemade thermis to his manservant.

Matachi nods his head "Just take your time man." he says smirking trusting him completely not doubting his skills "I have faith you will not mess up, just don't worry and don't fear." he says to him as he looks up at the ceiling wondering whats going on elsewhere, he also scans through the memories of his past seeing so many different ones from Sets past.

Katherine set down the cup thinking, she was quite for a good while. "That should not be the case, I have a contract with your goverment to help with them in our water's. I will look over the resent merchant log to see what is happening." She promised, and she would once he had left. "You want to sale us your war ships?" That was odd it was one thing Tesla had never let go of. Even her father had tried to figure out and buy ships from Tesla but they wouldn't sale the right ones ever.

Lord Draicen shook his head. "Queen Katherine. I doubt it's your ships that they are attacking. Still, I have been losing ships in your territory." He put down his unused fork, forcefully. Then he looked the Queen straight in the eyes. "I need a treaty that allows my own patrols to pass through your waters as well, for the safety of my own ships, as well as escorts for them. I Currently have the most warships in my country at the moment, as well as providing the most jobs. I can't afford losing all of these shipments." The man said plainly and to the point. He knew it was risky, but he found that the whole truth helped people make deals better. He was even willing to give two of his own war ships for the treaty, complete with crew.

"What then may I ask are you importing into my country?" She asked simply it was a good question if he did in need trade in war. She was thinking about it now she needed then if she accepted to write a letter to there king asking him about this man. Good thing she knew the King as well as she did. She took a bite of her bread and washed it down with the wine. She was glad of this to get her mind away from things in Llyr.

Lord Dracien smiled sweetly, his aubern eyes swiveled, eating all the food with a look. It reminded many of a stalking wolf. "I have been sending wood, and horses to Lord Sekain. Mostly, though, I have been sending metal alloys, precious jewels, and exotic goods. Those are the ones that are being attacked. I also have a wide variety of grain barges, and other basic commodities." Lord Dracien listed off. He had been working diligintly to build his little Piece of Tesla into a powerful capital of commerce and happiness. The lord clapped his hands together and his manservant appeared again, almost out of nowhere. "Think of this as a trade. For patrolling your waters, and securing the place of pirates, what would you demand." Lord Dracien reasoned. The servant handed the lord a scroll. Dracien tapped the scroll on the table, awaiting an awnser.

Black searched through memories as well of Alastor's past. While he wasn't meaning to, he placed his arm forward and his hand made contact with Matachi's shoulder. In the memory, it would connect directly with Matachi and play out like it was real. Matachi would be in the role of some man and there was some woman on the other side of the bed, presumably Katherine in that lifetime and in a hotel room. Black would find himself in the role of who Alastor was at the time, peeking in on the man and the woman.
The man and the woman were going to do something until Alastor would burst into the room and shout at Katherine who was only half dressed when he went in. The man would go at Alastor and try to get him out of the room. Alastor would lash out at the man, hitting him in the neck and killing him instantly. From Matachi's view, he would see it from the ground, Alastor throwing Katherine to the bed and completely undressing her before performing an unspeakable act, then slashing her neck before killing himself by stabbing himself in the chest.
Black pulled his hand away from Matachi when it ended, tears had filled up his eyes. He felt everything that happened, felt every emotion that Alastor did and felt what he did to Katherine before killing her. His skin had also gone deathly pale and he looked over at Matachi, checking his reaction.

Katherine smiled. She wasn't as easy as all of that. She looked easy to fool with all of her sweetness. "I would like a detailed listing of everything my- Lord Sekain is getting. I do mean detail, costs as well as a number of how much of anything he has." Intersting that he would be tradeing with Tesla since he was the one who destroyed it. "At least five of your warships with abled body men that are willing to train my own, and a 20% discount on all items imported to my household." She took another sip of her wine wondering if he would take it.

Matachi looked there for a moment...his body froze up. Matachi snaps out with his good hand seizing black by his collar pulling him forward with some very powerful strength but nothing compared to what was unleashed before. This causes some things to fall off the small medical stand next to his bed and crash to the floor in a horrid of noise of metal slamming onto the floor "WHY?!" He yelled into his face anger taking over the pain

Lord Dracien sighed. He had dealt with this kind before, the hated Bureaucrat. "you would have to get the list from Sekain. I am only liable to tell the specifics on what I am getting, per the agreement I made with him." Lord dracien told her. It was true, according to the agreement lord Sekain had signed. "I can't spare five, but I can spare two, with able bodied crew, a blue print for the ships, and temporary builders to build two more for you." Lord Dracien said, offering the ability to make her own, not that it would do her much good against the Dracien's forces if she ever chose to attack. the lord of the tesla Coast was fancied himself as an inventor, and although all of his inventions were horribly crude, craftsmen had turned the things he had created into speical commodities. Things such as his thermis, which could keep something hot or cold for days, or more importantly, his new Man'o'war ships. "And most importantly of all, the 20% discount would fail in doing anything. I can only set the prices in my own lands. If I forced my merchants to obey a twenty percent discount for you, you would see all the prices go up by 10% all over Llyr. Instead, I can let you grant requests for any material you need, and it will deliverd to you the next two days at no extra charge, as long as we have it in stock." Lord Dracien bargained.
