>“I won’t mince words, old friend. I’m broke.”You raise a hand, stalling his reply that you know it’s coming.
>”I know what you’re going to say – you saw the horse outside, you know my family is wealthy…things change, Aemon. That horse? It’s all I’ve left after I escaped the Dothraki as I told you. And my family..”Aemon interrupts you now.
<span class="mu-b">”And your family is as likely to help you, as likely to tell you to go burn in hell for the headache you caused them in the capital, uh?”</span>
Seeing you nod, Aemon shakes his head.
<span class="mu-b">”Bloody hell Ekavir…”</span>
>“Listen, I fucked up. I know – no need to throw my mistake in my face. I’ve paid the price, but I survived…so now I’m here. I don’t think I need to tell you that I’m looking to ask you to return the money I lent you three years ago to expand your business…with the agreed upon interest.”Aemon looks a bit red faced at this…but breathes deeply, sighs…and nods.
<span class="mu-b">”Yeah yeah…I knew you were after money the moment I saw you walk into my shop. So…remind me how much we <span class="mu-s">did</span> agree the interest rate was? I remember distinctly it being 2%...?”</span>
<span class="mu-s">Persuasion (Convince) check – Rolled 16 vs DC variable.</span>
You smile…and shake your head. Good old Aemon..
>”No. We both know it was 7.5% Aemon. So…”To his credit Aemon simply nods, implicitly admitting defeat.
<span class="mu-b">”…I ought to remember never to ask you for a loan in the future. Gods you’re worse than a money lender!”</span>
But as he says this, he takes out a small coin pouch and tosses it to you. You count the coins inside quickly – a solid 90 gold coins, divided into silver, gold and copper coins.
You nod.
>”Thank you Aemon…you’re saving my life here.”
