Imperial Court of the Blood Dragon Shogunate

[Saerieve]

"Although I understand your main ideology about all the 'Honor' and 'Pride' and 'Respect' and 'Warriorship' and whatnot..." He said but then paused to pick the best words not to sound offensive to the shogun, "But, the way I see it... It doesn't hurt if we look at life like a business from time to time... Not that we treat it as business, but just to compare it as an example." then cleared his throat and continued, "Let's say we're making a deal now... Why would you accept my proposition? Because... If I trust you, and you trust me, we will work together, and if we work together, it will mean doubling up our capabilities, and -That- means getting an extra hand whenever we need one, which in most simple form means 'profit' for both of us." but then repeated himself so the shogun wont misunderstand him, "But as I said, I'm not telling you to treat this as a business meeting... Just throwing it in as an example..."
