On my way to dinner at his place. What did he do?

We have a possible client asking for security but he wants to refuse because they’re a noble.

A noble?

I’ll try but I can’t work miracles

Uncle Marsh wants help convincing Dad of a possible noble client

My dear, I don’t think it’s possible for me to care less. Not my department.

I don’t even know why I bothered

 

 

Uncle Ham

Today 7:12 PM

I’m guessing you’re done now?

Thank you for taking the new client. I know it was last minute but I had to rush Edgard to the hospital

No problem Uncle Ham. I hope he’s okay

He is. The drill missed anything vital. A couple of weeks and he’ll be okay

I’m glad. See you tomorrow

Goodnight

 

 

Uncle Clubs

If this is about his dating life, I’ve already given up.

Good morning Vin.

I have a request. There’s a member of my congregation who is recovering from an abusive relationship. She tells me that she struggles with feeling safe and I wanted to ask if you’re willing to offer some self defense classes. Preferably one-on-one.

Good morning. Of course! I’ll share the open slots I have for one-on-one classes and she can choose from there. If she can’t afford it, we offer free classes Tuesday and Thursday evening but it’s a group.

Thank you Vin. I shall discuss with her then get back to you

 

 

Uncle Dox

Today 1:47 PM

Thank you!

YOU BROKE OFF YOUR ENGAGEMENT TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NOBLE WOMAN

ARE YOU INSANE?!!!

Hello my dear friend. How are you? I’m doing well thanks for asking. Except for the fact that my friend does not seem to care about my happiness

Stop being dramatic

What happened? I know the whole thing was arranged but I thought you and Shan were getting along

We were not getting along actually

I don’t think a single outing ended without her insulting me

It was a political marriage so I was fine getting married and ignoring each other until the contract ended. But I found out her father wants to use us getting married to get my backing in some laws he wants to reintroduce.

Like the Terris Pass System that will prevent the Terris from leaving reservations without written permission.

What in Adolnasium’s name is that? Are we back in the days of the Lord Ruler? There’s no way Parliament will even want to discuss it but I’m not letting my name be associated with such a thing.

And when I confronted Shan about it, she couldn’t care less. Yeah no. I’m not getting married into such a family. Even if it’s not real

Oh wow. Yeah, that’s messed up. I get it now

But what do you mean by your backing? Why not your dad’s? Speaking of your dad, I bet he’s pissed at you

I’m going to tell you something but you can’t tell anyone else

You know what, it’s better I tell you in person

I blocked her but she just used another number

Change your number

Okay

Promise fulfilled!
