Amano waits a respectful amount of time before drawing his father's attention back to him. Kenneth seems loath to look away from the demon, however his curiosity about his youngest's intentions override his need to find out more about Illiendi, for the moment. After getting his father's attention however, rather than letting Amano direct the conversation, he once more brings up a question that must be answered. “So, you have all this put together. Any idea of where you are going to look for these things?”

The young man can feel his patience slipping as his father once more blusters on, not checking to see if Amano has something to say before bringing up his own concerns. As such, his answer is rather short and lacking a bit of the flattery that up to this point has kept him in his father's good graces. “Our final destination as far as the sea voyage goes is the Shadowlands, crossing there from Drakin, where I have a contact in good standing who is awaiting my arrival.”

Kenneth gives his son a sharp look. “The Shadowlands? You'll get eaten alive there lad, no doubt. Not much glory in ending up a pile of dung on an uncharted plain.”

Amano keeps his cool, breathing slow. “I assure you father, this will not be the case. I ha-”

But for the moment, the drink has ignited a bit of Kenneth's ire, and the obvious disagreement coming from his son is enough to have him pounding the desk in anger. “You'll not talk back to me boy! You will waste your life out there, this half baked idea of yous! Going out with barely a notion, and a poor one at that, and taking along such a fine servant. That is such a waste!” He turns to Illiendi and all Amano can do is pray the demon will be able to calm the bellowing man. “Whatever coin he's paid you is not worth your life. This fool child of mine will lead you on some wild goose chase and you will meet your end sooner than he will find a profit in this foolish venture. Come now man, let us speak terms of you staying here. Let the boy have his way of things, I find your services more of worth to me than the boy has ever provided.” He speaks as if Amano is not there, and for his part, Amano can only pretend he's not to avoid the possible flying glass if he should draw attention to himself while his father is in such a state.
