"How have you been, sir?" a young man, wearing an expensive set of armor, asked the older man in front of him.
The older man just looked to the side in melancholy for a while as his hands moved a cup of expensive wine to the side. "I don't think there's much left."
The younger man looked at the cup of wine before looking at the older man with a bit of empathy. "I presume you're not referring to the wine."
"Of course not," the older man said as he drank a bit of the wine. "I'm referring to this life."
The younger man became a bit nervous when he heard the older man's words. "There's plenty to life," he said as he walked to the table and sat down in one of the luxurious chairs. "I've been gone for some months, but that doesn't mean that I haven't heard about you. Even our Guild has heard about your trading empire. We're even speculating that you might receive an invitation from the emperor soon."
