Oh God yes. At this point in time it can only end horribly for Mystia and we don't need Rook getting a notorious reputation.

I say stay with the deal but do a little sabotage to raise Rook's reputation... let's say, put a fire at Mystia's and have him save her or something. Unless... You got better business deals on your sight.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #942 on:** December 22, 2010, 08:56:32 PM »

Mystia is chump change compared to SDM. Also I doubt Rook would be down with going out of his way to get basic recognition as a person.

So we break the deal. Deal? (dohoho, a pun...)
