[i]"It's true that the drought perhaps left your lands dry, but I believe that weapons won't be enough to sway my interests into giving up my food for my people. We have our smiths."

Tatiana felt her body stiffen, gripping the edge of the table and driving her nails through the wood, keeping the wolf at bay from coming out and speaking for her. She should have known he'd ask for much more, which wouldn't go over well with this goddess. She'd blink once, her eyes moving over the bodies seated at the table, repeating over and over again what Jamison preached. 'He denies the trade? How foolish.' The blonde woman is vexed towards Arthur, watching as he widens his eyes at his alphas rather horrible negotiation skills, which thus only sent a bellowing laughter to follow after the Kalin's proposal of horses and double the herbs and medicines. He should know better than to try to double the cost with Tati, she was no so easily swayed.

[b]"Tell you what Jamison, I'll give you four of our finest horses, but as for doubling the medicines in your stock rather than exchanging herbs that are needed.. that I cannot do, if I doubled the medicines for you, that would leave me with less stock in product. As I stated before, some herbs that your lands have, ours do not. As I am a woman of my word, you may have the horses and everything offered thus far. But I will not double the cost of herbs, seeing as though we could use the same in return. So, take it or leave Jamison. What'll it be?"

Tatiana swallows down a growl that tries to surface, almost emitting through her lips but she managed to milk it back down. She wasn't about to let Jamison take a quarter of her medicines while she only got a sliver handed to her. She wasn't dumb, she would not be made a fool out of, nor would she be swindled by an alpha with a lack of political value. She respected Jamison, of course, he has earned that, but she never agreed with some of the things he bargained for. He was too greedy for his own good, sometimes Tati believes he doesn't put his pack first, at least not all the time. Tatitana was keen on putting the needs of her kingdom before her own and seeing as though their medicines were running dry in some of the stock that the Nirriths surely had much of, it was all fitting to exchange herbs for herbs. Although, if he didn't accept this offer, than she'd simply have to take his request for horses back and bid him a due. She would not allow him to take her horses while she got nothing.. that would not fly with the Feonix Queen.

"i do have something that could help you."

The babe's crown shifts, casting her steeled emerald gaze over at Finrayes, a single brow raising as curiosity spiked. Leaning forward, her hands outstretched in front of her and digits intertwined together--she eyed Fin carefully before velvet whispers were thrown through the air. "What is that you believe could help me, Fin? I'd love to hear what you have in mind for trade." She smirks, sinking back into her seat again while still glaring a hole through the Kaliq.

"Listen to me."
