It was another day under the Asahara sun when a courier came with a message for Lector from Qi'sa. "Meet me in my office" it said.
He wasn't aware the blacksmith had an office. Perhaps it's the shift in duties that has made it a necessity. He followed a palace guard down a hall that was lined by guards. Each one heavily armored, extra precautions. There might still be supporters for the traitor in the mist. They turned a corner and there was an open office. Qi'sa sat in the back with papers piled around her, her hands continuous flowing on the never ending stream of paper in front of her.
Enthralled by her new forge she did even have time to look up. "Ah you're here, come in." Her hands firmly gripping the quill, she dared not waste one sec in order to complete all the paper work done.
"What can I do to assist you?"

"I'm sure you are aware that we had a few vacancies in the office recently." She said as her hand continued to carve ink into the papers, her eyes only looked up for a brief second before focusing on her work again. Lector shifted uncomfortably not sure what to say. "Have a sit." the Emir offered. Lector pulled a chair out as its legs clawed through the silent pause. He sat down still tense, not sure what to expect. He heard that the Emir of Coin has not been located yet. A country can't go on without it's treasurer, but that was a position he dreaded the most. Qi'sa has no doubt taken up the mantle on managing that aspect for now. The blacksmith did not look like she was enjoying that position but she felt duty bound to keep the country running. Lector appreciated her hardwork but it was not something he himself would want to do. A silence felled the room sans the quill strokes on the paper before Lector broke the silence. "Yes I...I am aware. What can I do to alleviate the... um problem?" He responded trying not to give away his intentions. Qi'sa looked up briefly at the nervous man and grinned. "Don't worry... we won't be putting you behind a desk anything soon."
