Lafayette shrugged closing his eyes, "Reformer perhaps, not in the way you seem to imply I simply think people should all have the power to get a head." he said, "Not everyone a leader. Just the power to not starve." he explained looking at her again, He looked through his box again taking out a stack of papers. "Trade routes, agreements and plans for benefits of doing so." he said. "Written and notarized by Kaïs Dubois of Dubois Trading." Lafayette shook the pages putting them back in the case.

"Now you are likely interested in why I am so willing to show my sword. I do know many a method in which to take down an opponent I don't want to if avoidable." he said. "I rather dislike the idea of following in my fathers foot steps." Lafayette added as he stood up to stretch and pace a bit.

"Who?" he asked as she mumbled about some man who's name started with an H. "Do they sell tea?" he asked Kalena as he watched her drink the tea, he didn't meet many who like it as dark as he did.

Sailing across the ocean, the food was lacking and the company well they were not quite the conversationalists I am used to."
