Call From Hurmot

'He wants to join us? But how can we--'

'Hurmot is an old friend of Tralon's too. He knows that Tralon can open a rift and allow Hurmot to join us,' explained Argyle. 'Also, he said he's willing to bargain with you for the entry to the storehouse.'

'With me? Don't you mean with Tralon?" Jack asked.

'No, he said he would bargain with you, Jack. I think he understands that you're like an anomaly and that this was your doing. So, what do you want me to tell him?'

Jack scratched his head and smiled. 'Can I talk with him?'

'He's already waiting for you.' Argyle laughed and passed Jack the already active contact crystal, surprising Jack further.

"Hurmot, what's up?"

"Jack, you don't have to tell me about your affiliation with the Leisure Guild if you don't wish too, but please allow me to join you inside the storehouse. Of course, I'll pay for my entry," Hurmot stated. "Name your price, Jack."
