Okay, all my non-locals who have set up or helped set up businesses, I need input.

Minimoff Deliveries is growing a bit faster lately than expected, and the stall isn't enough. Anyone got ideas on how to go about securing, like, a loan or something to get a slightly larger place? I feel like the crew and I need an actual building now.

It needs to be a place that's market adjacent or in it, and I've got my eye on one that has two levels and so can serve as a great base of operations. But damn I need a bit more coin to manage this.

Most of what I make goes right back into the business, so it's not like I'm rolling in the funds to secure a whole building and do the renovations for it. Thoughts? Advice? You can have reduced cost deliveries for thought help. Please, I need to be good to the crew here.

Whenever you are. Any advice you have is super appreciated, boss.

[faithfulsupport]

Then how about you join me for the evening after the lodge closes this evening?

[doubled_speed]

Not like any one is waiting up to see me, so why not

[faithfulsupport]

I dare say I'll be waiting to see you.

[doubled_speed]

I dare say that's almost ominious.

[faithfulsupport]

I must say that I fail to see how it's ominous.

[doubled_speed]

You're not me and used to weird shit.

[faithfulsupport]

Granted we are not each other. But eating is still a thing that needs to be done.

[doubled_speed]

That's a true thing.

[faithfulsupport]

In that case I have a freshly made dinner here. So I will see you when you get here.

[doubled_speed]

You KNOW I can't say no to food. Ever.

[faithfulsupport]

I am quite aware of that fact.

[doubled_speed]

Just don't try to talk me into letting you bankroll me, okay?

[faithfulsupport]

Why I wouldn't dare.

[Maybe.]

[doubled_speed]

[He definitely would dare, wouldn't he?]

Good, Boss.

[faithfulsupport]

Then I shall see you when you arrive.

[doubled_speed]

[Which of course he does, a while later. Because you know, work on top of everything else. But he does arrive, right in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of tea.]

Yo Boss.

[faithfulsupport]

[Ignis smirked when he heard Tommy's tone as he acquired tea. He'd been just about to get food plated.]

Well hello there. I was just getting dinner on the table, so you're just in time.

[doubled_speed]

You need help with that.

[Because of course Tommy would be waiter for himself.]

[faithfulsupport]

I could use the help.

[This was a total lie, but he wasn't here to be a brat about it.]

[doubled_speed]

Cool. Then...

[He just moves to gather up a number of dishes, balances them on his arms like a fucking talented waiter like he is, and whisks them off to a table.]

Spoiling me as always, boss.

[faithfulsupport]

[Ignis just smiles at Tommy.]

Glad to see that you brought your appetite.

[doubled_speed]

Ever know me not to, boss?

[Because the truth was that he was often hungry. It was a mutation thing.]

[faithfulsupport]

Not as of yet.

[There was a smile on Ignis' face as he said that.]

[doubled_speed]

[He smirks and, once the table is set he sits at it, clearly taking time to relax over the drink.]

So, what's the lecture going to be?
