Luco pulled his purse and signet ring.

"I hope it is sufficient that I pay you now and verify this deal with his signet. Master hates to deal with trivial things such as slaves or purchasing one."

[Dark Storm]

"That is fine Luco, it is a pleasure dealing with you." He passed the man the contract, "Sign here please," he pointed to the blank line, before remembering, "And some hot wax to dip the signet ring in." he said passing the candle, and then he wrote the order form out. "They shall be delivered tomorrow morning."

[Lanthe]

"That is good to hear. I must hurry now, I have some horses and other things to find before midday or the master will get angry."

[Dark Storm]

"It was good doing business with you." Marcus spoke pocketing the money, "Thank you." the man left, and then Marcus stood, filed the order form with his secretary, then walked to his safe, inside he placed a new folder, entitled Marcus Quintilius Rufus, inside it was the signed contract, then he headed down to the market to search for bargain prices on more slaves, with the money he had been given.
