Odd Company

[Victor Steiner]

This was a good start, but not what he wanted. This girl could be swayed, if only he pushed just a little more, there was real potential for not just her but for the whole region. If he played his cards right she could become a valuable lynchpin, and her loyalty to the Empire was also important. It was obvious that she valued loyalty, if he could gain her trust somehow, perhaps she would open up a little more. Right now he hadn't built the trust needed with her, but in time he might. No one will know. You and I are meeting right now in a public space, you don't seem to bothered by that. No one will know you are working with me, and they will care less about the information you send when you start getting information back. I promise you, nothing is going to happen. But I understand, maybe you need a little more time, or perhaps you are not fully convinced that I can provide what I say I can. So, right now I will make you a deal. To show that I'm serious, ask me a question, any question and I will answer it truthfully. It was a risk, but he needed to show her he was as willing to put himself at risk as she was, maybe it wasn't the same, but it was as good as. She could ask about the Government, Steiner, the Outcasts or Rheinland, she could even ask about him personally, he was curious to see what she would ask about. Just one question.
