"So what exactly do you have against Lord Reis?"
Jin had calmed down a little after his outburst and was now sitting down with a cup of tea in his hands. He brought the cup up and drank a bit of it while listening to the roar of the crowd from outside the window.
Lord Reis hummed while thinking of the benefits of revealing his past with Lord Reis. He didn't think it was necessary in this negotiation, but he needed all the benefits he could accumulate in order to get his way.
And so, he spoke up:
"Well, I guess you can say we used to be acquaintances once, a long time ago. But we had a falling out when he decided it was necessary to take something of mine which I had wanted for a while. I don't feel it necessary to reveal what this thing is, so we aren't going to talk about it. I just know that I need retribution, and you're going to get it for me."
Jin felt anger rising in him at the last statement. He didn't want anyone using him as an errand boy.
