Recruitment 1197

Shiro Ide, Final Day of Winter Court 1197,

Master Coin left before the sun had fully crested the horizon. He traveled south with the Crab delegation. Back to warmer climes and back to business. He had merchants to patronise, and people to be patronising to. This Winter Court had not been as successful as it could have been. The loss of several agents to the Net of Fireflies had proven costly. Added to that, the Mantis Crane stand off had relaxed. That would hit everyone in the coffers come spring not just the Kolat.

He took a pinch of snuff and sat back in his carriage. It could have been worse he supposed. The recruitment drive had been reasonably successful. And the Crab boy would definitely be worth cultivating.

“I wonder” he mused to himself “If the others’ fortunes had been as varied as mine?”
