If Zel has anything to contribute, she's in no hurry to say it. Really, none of these details especially matter to her. They're good to keep in mind, but they don't especially matter. She's ready to accept, and willing figure the rest out as they get to it. She just wants to see the ship and get her hands on its systems as quickly as possible, if anything, and posing any further questions only makes that take longer. In short, she doesn't have any questions that haven't already been asked.

after taking a moment to wait, Leere speaks up
"Nobody, then? Very well, what was it you wished to go over then, miss Yarrow?"

"You have promised us assurance, and we are still waiting for it. I am not from Sigil, so I do not know what the custom is here, but the standard where I come from, for jobs of this caliber from anonymous principals, is that payment be held under escrow. So, under whose proven honorable care will the orichalcum be escrowed? And in the extreme, if we are to die in the course of completing the job, will our fair shares of the orichalcum be paid out to our next of kin or as specified otherwise in our wills?
"Much as I would love to be able to shake on our deal now, my crew would heave me out of an open airlock if I were to neglect to do my due diligence as captain. I hope you understand."

Leere grimaces slightly, leaning back in his seat and sipping from his drink again. "third parties, third parties...Always complicating things by breaking the need to know...Anyone I'd trust, you wouldn't, and anyone you'd trust not already invited to this table, I'd consider a severe liability if they're informed...As for should one of you perish...well...if you insist, I could make plans to have the payment delivered to a named party if you don't come to collect yourself...Should, of course, the delivery still succeed."

Yarrow says nothing for a while, and a slight frown takes the place of the smile. She raps her fingers on the table, and glances around at the others one more time.
Finally: "Of course. Then I hope that you are willing to trade us at least some of what proper assurance is worth. Double the downpayment, and promise payment of our equal shares in the orichalcum, to a party as we each direct, if the deliveries are made but we do not return, and I will shake on the agreement that we have arrived at over the course of this meeting. So long as the others at this table shake on the agreement, as well."

"I've no objections one way or the other. Although I could use a drink after these dull discussions. The bleeding walls were a sight to say the least." Olivier goes to the bar to order a drink.

Leere smiles and nods "Ah, a shrewd negotiator. I like it. Very well miss Yarrow, we have a deal. I'll have the second half of the downpayment delivered to your vessel before you depart, though perhaps give me a day or three, and I'm sure you all may have arrangements to make before departing as well, so it works out." With that, he sets his drink down and offers a hand to shake.

Yarrow reaches over the table and shakes his hand. "It's been a pleasure dealing with you. You will not be disappointed." Spending 1 Mote to use Eclipse Caste to hold Leere to the agreement on pain of threefold misfortune. The glow of Yarrow's Atlantean tell is now visible with a TN 20 Perception test.

"I wish you luck, child of syrne."
With that Leere looks to the others. "Before I go, is there anything else anyone would like to ask?"

As if on cue, Raito taps on a micro-bead, eyes narrow. "Raam. I thought you were following me. You've missed the briefing. Where are you?"

"Stuck. Mostly. Got everything through the bead, though, thanks for leaving it on. Need a pickup?"

"Not quite, no. Just make sure you're presentable when we get back..."

"If our business here has come to an end then I believe I shall take my leave." He bows to the group and begins to leave the bar

"Does this mean we'll be going to see the ship now?" Zel asks, with a marked increase in enthusiasm. Negotiations are through, so why not, right?

"I can show you to it if you want, I believe the captain cleared you.Zel was it? Olivier Lenhiem." he puts a hand out to shake yours. "A pleasure to meet you."
