Kyalrhin of the Glomdoring:

The unfortate incident earlier this month within our city might have been prevented had you better diplomatic skills than the average dragon. Had you simply... asked, we would have happily told you that seeking commodities in that manner is fruitless, as Hallifax no longer sells them to anyone outside the Collective. But given our vaunted history of peaceful negotiation with anyone, no matter how unpleasant, it is possible you had other options available at the time.

That aside, I, for one, appreciate your announcement of our new alliance with Gaudiguch. Though their methods are a bit questionable, we share an appreciation of science and experimentation, and I'm confident our own researchers can make sense of anything Gaudiguch happens to share in collaboration. And we are assured that any drunken... anything, will remain safely within Gaudiguch.

Cheers to both cities, for the advancement of peace and harmony within the Basin.
