Treven *with a hint of suspicion*: I assume you are Lord Berric. My diplomat has informed me of what happened during the negotiations. I have to confirm, or reject, our acceptance of your.....rather generous proposal. | |

| Commander: I am told you have a message for me, Mr...Elarith? _______________________________________________________
Treven: You misunderstand me, so I'll be frank...I have treated with men such as yourself before, Lord Berric. I'm sure you're capable of guessing how many of them tried to slit my throat. I do not trust you or your organization. For all I know, Captain Natran was coerced into giving his....glowing recommendation of you and your people. | |

| *His eyes narrow into a glare.*
Commander: I see....That's rather....generous of you. Although, and I mean no disrespect, but it seems rather...strange for you to suddenly reveal yourselves like this, especially when you didn't know our intentions and it must have been clear we were searching for signs of intelligent life when we landed on this planet. _______________________________________________________
Treven: Then you see my dilemma. This could all be an elaborate trap. Give me reason to trust you, Lord Berric, and not your organization, but you, the man who leads it. Show me your offer is sincere and you are one of the few....how do I put it...your language may not have a word for it, but, noble-likes, that is not a backstabbing sociopath. | |

Treven *a hint of a smirk*: That's your dilemma isn't it? I've simply stated that you have to show me I can trust you, not how you can do it. | |

berric would raise an eyebrow if his eyepatch didn't cover it "so you want me to figure it out on my own, is that it?" | |
