"I'm the Master of Weaponry," Linx sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose with one paw in a clear gesture of exasperation; it wasn't Azrah's fault, but it was still bothersome. "I don't command troops unless given temporary battle capabilities by another Commander. Aside from that, I have all of that rank's authority, and a lot of jurisdiction over armament and training. ...But I don't command troops, no."

**She sat back down, and sighed, saying,** okay whatever. How are the forts kitchens doing?**She was rather hungry, and wanted to know if the food had changed.**

"They're serving edible food now. One thing I did when I got into power was start giving them funding," Linx smiled. That was something he actually liked to talk about. Thanks to his much-needed redistribution of budgets, the kitchens were actually serving decent food. It wasn't splendid or anything, but at least it was edible. "But if you want really good food, the tavern's still there. And I'd pay."

Edible food?**She raised her eyebrow,** that's a first, didn't they used to serve half cooked lobster every Saturday? And thanks for the offer but I inherited a fair amount of money since my last stay here and don't want to waste your money on my stomach.

That wasn't expected. Inheritances of any sort were a rarity for Linx, who found that his parents had left absolutely nothing for him but his own body. "OK, two questions again. Who did you get it from... And... How much money is it?" It probably wasn't as big as his weekly salary, but it might be worth tapping into, consensually, of course. Investments were always a good way to bolster things.
OOC: For reference, 1 gold coin = about 50 dollars.
And I need to go offline for a bit...

OOC: I'll keep that in mind.
BIC: Well technically since my dad and mom who were sadly killed by ice bears, **she said sadly,** were joint chieftains of my tribe, I inherit along with my brother, half the tribe, but I didn't want command, so instead I told him he could be chieftain if I got 1000 coins, he was really happy.

"Well, that's... Uh..." Linx couldn't immediately think of any adjectives to describe what he heard. It was tragic with her parents' demise, uplifting with the inheritance, promising that her brother was to be in command, and unimpressive with the rather small fee she'd requested. He made that much in a month, at most. "Interesting. So where do you want to eat?"

Here she replied,** and pulled a small squashed sandwich out of a pocket and began to eat it. After a few mouthfuls she explained,** I've gotten used to making my own food, and it's Saturday so I don't want to end up with half cooked lobster.

"But they aren't serving half-cooked lobster," Linx sighed. Apparently, the part where he was giving the kitchens the funding they needed to cook competently hadn't sunk in much. He'd repeat it all but she was already eating something that looked like someone had hit it with a hammer. "Looks like you have your meal sorted out, though."

They don't serve it anymore, yes, you did mention better food, so what kind of food do you serve?** she asked through mouthfuls,** and how's Archon?

"He's doing great," Linx beamed at the thought of his first mate, "but these days, you'd have to ask me how's Archon, and Lars, and Dantin, and Mokwa, and Dengoro, and Lagg, and Ellich, and Sinthin... Clearly, my financial empire hasn't been the only one to expand."

Huh?**Azrah asked, she hadn't really understood what he just said.**

"In other words, I've become rather polygamic," Linx restated bluntly. He didn't like not being able to be coy the way he usually was. Azrah didn't seem all that bright for such an avid explorer, although he didn't voice any of this. "Multiple mates. Oh, the fun."

Or what we call in the north gross,** Azrah replied rather dryly.**

"Well, the last time I cared about the north was... Oh, right, I never cared about the north," Linx laughed. Despite the wars constantly raging to the north, they had little appreciation for technology and his weapons actually sold better to the south. "But that's what I do. It's just fun."
