Ryan managed to finalize his deal with Edwin without any problems. Once he agreed to handle the prison rescue, the Kallistia merchant leader stopped doubting, and the tension weighing on the room quickly dissipated.
The only pending detail was the timing of the hit. Edwin had suggested doing it on the day of the tournament held in Geizan, the elven nation, taking advantage of the fact that the church would have all its attention focused there.
However, the merchant apologized to Ryan with some discomfort because, despite having proposed the idea, he didn't actually know what day the event would take place. For someone accustomed to offering precise data in his dealings, arriving with half-baked information seemed to worry him quite a bit.
Ryan didn't let him drown in that detail and calmed that concern on the spot by saying he already had an informant who would let him know the exact date. With a calm tone, he made him see that worrying about such things was a waste of time.
