Looking at his cousin, Farim couldn’t help but feel that cold analytical gaze that reminded him of his father. He suppressed the initial scowl that usually would come with it and kept his tone as smooth as his silvered tongue could produce.

[color=D2691E]”Ever the vigilant one. I do remember your duties, Fareed. But pleasantries suggest I still ask if you are here for pleasure or for business – if anything for my own curiosity.”[/color] He smiled innocently. [color=D2691E]”I am glad you are doing well. I hope that news of the others' misconduct did not leave our home in duress. I further hope my name did not come across anyone’s lips while talking of the family’s behavior.”[/color] The mention of actions reaching all the way back home left Farim keen to know if there was any rumors of him aside from the obvious one holding onto his arm currently.

But then Magnus spoke, and Farim turned with an equally pleasant expression. He was good at flaring the old charisma card to friends and strangers alike. [color=D2691E]”Impressive for sure. I did not quite appreciate the beauty of such use of marble, stone, ivory, and the like. It has given me ideas for some possible opportunities back home.”[/color] Farim’s one hand turned back to point all his fingers towards himself. [color=D2691E]”Speaking of opportunities. If you ever find yourself in need of something. Do not hesitate to ask. I collect many things, and am quite fond of making deals for the betterment of both sides.”[/color] 

Nothing quite like a little self plug to extend his reach – Varian was one nation his influence had barely, if at all, managed to penetrate. He had one contact through Roman, and a few other lower houses. Any notable name in that country was worth making friends with – and they definitely had a curious omen about their culture and higher families that Farim was eager to discover in due time.

[color=D2691E]”I would actually love to see Breoven castle myself one day. If you both speak so highly of it.”[/color] Farim commented after Anastasia spoke. [color=D2691E]”If you take me there, I shall show you the beauty of our radiant Sultan’s Palace. It is as if a second sun took residence on our very earth and made its home in Genesea.”[/color] Farim beamed at the thought of home–a slight feeling of nostalgia hitting as he remembered the gilded halls and shining rooms full of wealth, beauty, and reverence. [color=D2691E]”Deal?”[/color] He stuck his hand out as if to shake on this completely legally binding arrangement.
