How Could You Do This

There was no beating around the bush or pleasantries, but Deimos didn't mind. Fia got right down to business and he could respect that. Her inquiry about becoming the pack's new emissary surprised him, but he appreciated her willingness to step up into one of their more important roles that had been left vacant with Ikigai's shift to Queen. It was one of the only roles that he really had no one in mind for, not at least until Damira was old enough to take the position, so he was glad Fiametta had an interest.

"That's wonderful, I'm glad to see you wanting to move up in the ranks," he said appreciatively, giving her a small smile. As for proving yourself..." He pondered for a moment, trying to find a balance of what would be a real test of her skill as a diplomat without overlapping too much with his own tour to introduce himself to the new alphas. An idea came to mind and he refocused on Fiametta with a smile. "I know. I spoke with Artorias during my recent visit about commissioning a weapon from him. I would like for you to take a selection of items from our stores to him to barter a price. Take some of the gems and metals we've mined from the mountain and whatever else you think would be valuable for trade. Artorias already has the details for what I had in mind, he's just awaiting the payment. Give him whatever you think is fair, ask to see examples of his work if you need to."
