The unfortunate reality is that we simply can not deliver what you ask without operating capital.>We could argue who owes who what, but truth is that we need customers and you need product. Parting ways and you having to find another supplier is hardly desirable for anyone.>Fortunately if you supply us with another deposit we can then in turn deliver triple inital agreed shipment within a standard shipping period. We have worked to improve our organization for just such opportunity. You only have to seize it."The closer regards you a moment.
<span class="mu-i">"Let me make sure I understand what you are suggesting. With less than a day to go until our agreed delivery date, you are asking us for a larger deposit. It is true that Chesapeake took that money and that money was subsequently taken from him by someone he did not see. But - by his own admission he deprived you of none of your acquired ingredients or staff."</span>

The first finishes his point.
<span class="mu-i">"We had to track YOU down. So you'll forgive us if we are in no real hurry to pay you more money to wait even longer."</span>

The first pats his chest, feeling like his time here is about done.
<span class="mu-i">"Do you even have 5000 gold?"</span>
