[Pinkie Pie]

"What brings you to Milan?"

"We would be interested in negotiating a trade settlement with you. The empiure has many things it can sell in Milan to make your peoples lives richer and fuller. We trade in silk, olive oil, wine, salt fish, meat, vegetables, salt, timber, wax, ceramics, linen, wooden cloth, perfumes, spices, textiles, gold, weapons and iron."

You are a great nation, and we see much to gain by an alliance and trade with you.

We already have fish. Other than that this is acceptable.

"Well what about limestone instead of fish?"

You are a great nation, and we see much to gain by an alliance and trade with you.

John sat there and did not need to think for to long.

"My good man, your situation is very fragile. Most of northern Europe is being pulled into the war between Christian and Christian, something we oppose entirely. The Vikings and your people should settle there differences, blood is being spilt over little reason. We find it utterly disgusting that the crusaders would side, something we cannot do. We urge you to end this war now, and we encourage that. If not we will have to wait till this situation is resolved to discuss trade and a possible alliance."

[Agamemnon]

Then once we have won our war and put the Saxon dogs under heel we will come back.

[kingsid]

Then once we have won our war and put the Saxon dogs under heel we will come back.
