The terms that Rúthui include pay for servants and the right to hire them from the local peasantry, and a little coin will make the compulsion go much more sweetly. "Understood; I will."

Then after a few more minor points are covered the meeting will conclude. The secretary promises to have a copy of the redacted meeting summary over that evening, before memories have time to blur details, for her archives. "Offered misleading or inaccurate info" is one of the toughest breach clauses to get a positive ruling on since it requires independent investigation by the guild and they have a strong tendency to take the client's side in cases with any ambiguity or unverifiability, but that doesn't mean it's not a good idea to have them recorded anyway. When the notes arrive, they take the form of a condensed reikspiel summary about a page long. The writer clearly doesn't have a standardized template for it and there were clearly some editorial choices about what details needed to be fully included vs which needed to be described, but it's markedly unambiguous about attributing claims and statements. (Not included, of course, are concrete tactical considerations like exactly who is manning what fortresses with what numbers. The places in the conversation where they would have been are marked, and it will hardly interfere with whatever method she has of remembering or recording the salient details, but you don't mix legal documents with military intelligence if you can help it, not least because not always the same people are trusted with each)

Where Rúthui's from, contracts are worth the paper they're printed on. The idea that this is not the case remains strange to her, however much she approves of it, but she'll stash this one.

(She mostly relies on her memory, and partially relies on a very good cypher.)

Her next priorities are to meet the steward Just In Case, and then make sure Henri didn't set anything on fire.

Gemina Kostos is busy, but in the sense that she's currently working, not that she can't be interrupted. After one of the guards escorts Ruthui to her office, she'll find a somewhat harried young woman with a desk covered in different documents and references. They're probably not meant for her to see, but while the writing on them isn't the neatest and they're oriented the wrong way Ruthui probably could read at least part of them if she tried.

"Hello there. What can I do for you?"
