Orifye nodded, and turned to Malim,
" Forgive me, I did not know that you were a titled man or I would have addressed you before. You have experience managing men and governing trading towns?"Malim still looked dumbstruck by the turn around in his luck,
" A little.....Prince Kuublu has....guided me in how I can improve on my past positions."Orifye frowned a little but clapped Malim respectfully on the arm,
" Then together we will do this."Orifye turned back to Kuublu,
" Of course the only offical correspondence will be through Buz....uh, Malims office. I have little control over the mens personal correspondence but they are mostly boys I doubt they knew anything....Buzwe kept his mercenary bodyguards closer than he kept the men." " Speaking of the men....we have three bodies here....what do we tell them befell Buzwe and the mercenaries?"
