"Anyways, a meeting like this has to be written in the stars. Ask me anything you like – I won't skip on the details. Still, make it snappy, you're never more than ten feet from a Slivermane Guards…" Sampo says

"Mister Sampo Koski" I say

"Yes ma'am you I never got the name of?" Sampo says

"I don't know about my friends but……We're not your friends, who's trust you'll break!" I say with an annoyed tone

"Who said I'll break your trust miss?" Sampo asks

"I don't trust some random strangers who crawl under a snow pile" I said

"That's apart of the business" Sampo says

"I don't see any crawling under snow a “business”" I say with anger

"You give me vibes of a criminal" I said

"Who said I was a criminal?" Sampo says with a worried expression

"If you see those “Slivermane Guards” aren't you gonna run awa-" I was about to finish my sentence until March covered my mouth

"Hey-hey what's gone into you? Are you okay?" March said looking at me worried

"Nothing happened but this guy gives me a criminal's vibe" I look at Sampo with disgust

"We don't know the man yet and your making assumptions?" March says

"If he does betray us then don't come back to me and say “We're sorry for not trusting your judgement”" I say

"Ok-ok we'll see about that!" March says

"I have no idea who these Slivermane Guards even are…" Stelle says

"You…You really don't know? The Slivermane Guards are Belobog's soldiers, enforcers and police. Let's just say they're not the most flexible if people… and they like paying visits to folks in our line of work" Sampo says

March then looks at Dan Heng then Dan Heng looks at Stelle then Stelle looks at me then I look at Dan Heng until Sampo says something, Sampo puts his hand on his head then removes it from the spot

"Seems like you guys really are new to the business *sigh* to be young and naive again… How about this. As a senior in the field, which I'm sure you don't mind other then your friend with white hair would mind me saying. I'll give you guidance" Sampo says

"Yea sure we'll see about your “guidance”" I say sarcastically

March just looked at me

"There are ways of doing things in this profession and you better get familiar with them. Moving in the shadows, finding the goods, pricing your stocks, hiding from Guards… there's an art to all of it." Sampo says

'Sounds like a business of a criminal if I see one' I thought to myself while putting my one of my fits near my neck I snapped out of my thoughts until March hugged me

"Not need, why don't you take us to the city! We don't know the way and Furina is going cranky because of not getting sleep" March says happily

"You didn't had to tell that guy my name y'know!" I say with a tried tone

"Sorry sorry" March says while letting me go from the hug

"The city? Already? I haven't even started trading yet. Showing you the way is easy enough, missy it would cost-" Sampo says

Dan Heng then looks at Sampo while Sampo smiles out of fear Sampo changes his sentence

"B-But it would be my pleasure! “kindness” is Sampo Koski's middle nam-" Sampo was about to something but I cut him off
