I ordered some supplies from Opirinerk, and he assured me they would be here by now. I even paid extra to ensure nothing "fell off the wagon," if you know what I mean.

Obviously, they aren't here yet. I need someone to go see Opirinerk about it.

He knows that I am willing to pay top dollar for my supplies, so he wouldn't delay intentionally.

Player: Accept.

Opirinerk run shipshape business, Daeva. No need to be accusing. Subcontractor Jerinerk was hired for this one.

Jerinerk not fastest Shugo, but very thorough. Isleif not want sloppy work, no? No worries about Opirinerk's honesty, always best quality for customers.

Go to Jerinerk to find delay. Opirinerk has done all a Shugo can.

Player: "It would seem so."

Subcontractor? Jerinerk works for Goldrine, how could Jerinerk be subcontractor?

Opirinerk has led Daeva wrong, Jerinerk never received supply order. But Jerinerk not unwilling to fulfill special requests from generous Daeva.

Daeva scratch Jerinerk's back, Jerinerk fulfill supply order, yes? Kill the Supraklaw Foragers that have ravaged Jerinerk's supply wagons, and all will be well.

Player: "Isleif better learn from this."

These delays are reflecting poorly on my skills Player. Please, tell me we have some good news.

I'm down to Brax tongue jerky and dried winter Rayam, and an army fights on its stomach.

Player: "You should rethink your trust in Shugos."

What, I will receive it when? After the premium I paid for Opirinerk's rush delivery charge!

You may be right about the Shugos. But I can't believe that anyone would be so duplicitous!

At least we're getting our supplies in the end, and I don't have to pay any more extortion fees. I think I just need to work up a little more trust with them.
