Lassim gently waved goodbye as Dorian ushered the company representatives out the door, their voices fading as they made their way down the hall. The room settled into a quiet calm.
Dorian returned after a few minutes and lingered near the doorway, his expression thoughtful as he faced Lassim as he spoke. "That went about as well as I could've hoped. Now, we've got one last hurdle before everything is officially settled."
He moved toward his desk, flipping through a folder of documents. "The Office of Mineral Affairs," he continued. "I'll need to meet with one of the nobles there to finalize your Astrium Veinstone contract. It's mostly just a formality at this point, and I'd send one of my assistants to handle it, but I need to make sure everything is properly ratified, so I'll do it myself."
Lassim nodded, "I wouldn't know what to do, so I'll leave that to you. Thanks."
