"Well, I do hope that it is true. I would be in need of a proper quartermaster though it'll require bit more than just 'helping'. I have been off coast for quite a while, and given the information I've received, the first few dockings might have me under the deck on paper work... I trust you will be able to handle Duonioids and Trajaks as the same." she said, before being rudely interrupted by one... speak of the devil. Vallière glanced at the Trajak that had just shown up. "I do. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done with him." she said, almost grunted as she was barely able to hold herself from turning this brute right back where he had came from... she didn't like interruptions, as much as she didn't like handling multiple things at once.

Clearing her throat, she then picked up the feather, dipping it to the ink before starting to write some additional information to the contract on the top of the pile. "As a quartermaster, you will be only answering to me. If I don't see you fit on the task by the time we hit Kasa islands, I am allowed to break the contract by will, in other words, fire you. The only thing I need more from you is to grant secrecy. By signing the contract you will be committed to not speak about me or my choice of words, or what is on board of Averice for the next seven years." Vallière finished as she placed the contract in front of the man, handing him the feather. "Last thing I want is my competitors espionage hitting on board as what is basically second in command".
