Bullets and Sludge [Marrlan-Dira Diplo]

[Artsy Astra]

With the threat of Grinvel still looming over Marrlans head, a master must provide food for the dogs of war. In this case, fuel. A telegram would be sent to the Dirian foreign affairs office in a bid to alleviate their troubles.

To the Federal Foreign Office of Diria,

We would like to request an audience with you to discuss terms of a trade treaty.
Of which, we would like to offer our arms manufacturing expertise and stocks in exchange for oil.

We await your response.

Cordially,
Head of Foreign Affairs Lei Korsky

[KyferLegs (Diria)]

As the telegram went through the Federal Foreign Office of Diria from the Head of Foreign Affairs of Marrlan, the small building buzzed to life once again. Soon the request was going through the intricate steps of approval, and conversations between the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development discussed possibilities. Eventually, discussions and calculations concluded with lists of requests, numbers, and negotiation points formed, summarized, and sent in a complex message of approval to the Dirian Embassy in Harbaville, Marrlan. The Dirian Ambassador Elvia Zahra overviewed and memorized the details given to him, and then, when ready, Zahra sent his reply to the Marrlan Head of Foreign Affairs Lei Korsky.

To the Marrlander Head of Foreign Affairs Lei Korsky

In reply to your request, the Federal Foreign Office of Diria and cooperation from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development have formed a consensus. Diria is willing to negotiate the basis of a trade treaty between the Dirian Federation and the United Republic of Marrlan. Details of possible outcomes are ready, and the Dirian Embassy to Marrlan can begin negotiations whenever you wish.

From The Dirian Ambassador to the United Republic of Marrlan, Elvia Zahra.

To the Dirian Embassy,

Does the 13th of Vaylien sound reasonable for a meeting date?

Dukes Blessings,
Head of Foreign Affairs Leia Korsky

To the Marrlander Head of Foreign Affairs Lei Korsky

Yes.

Korsky would leave her office in the big government 'park' and walk down the street to the Dirian embassy. She'd enter and give the receptionist a wave and ask which way it was to the Ambassadors office. After making some small talk and getting the direction she'd say her goodbyes and give a brief knock on the Ambassador's door before entering, "Ambassador Zahra, it's good to see you."

Zahra's head shot up as he fumbled for a moment throwing a few papers aside from his desk and pulling a fresh blank paper onto the simple table he used. Taking off his half-lens reading glasses, he quickly stood up, walked towards Korsky, and spoke with delight, "Korsky! It is good to see you again!" Zahra extended his hand for a quick handshake and gave a short bow before backing up and guiding Korsky to his desk. "Ah, sorry for the office change, miss Korsky, that other large office I found excessive." After mumbling about relinquishing worldly possessions and practicing simplicity, Zahra sat back down. Now at his desk, he put on his reading glasses and adjusted them symmetrically on his muzzle. Looking back up and relaxing his ears, he gestured for Korsky to sit as he spoke. "Now, where were we, oh yes, the slus- I mean sludgy stuff- the oil."
