Ribos Trade Terms Document

A stack of warded trade contracts Garron presents as diplomatic paperwork, their leatherette bindings cracked from repeated display. The pages bristle with dense clauses in fine print, but the critical points lie buried in obscured subsections. Garron’s fingers linger over the clauses as he deflects Graff’s scrutiny, the ink still wet on freshly signed amendments. Graff’s abrupt pivot to the conditions of sale forces Garron into verbal contortions, each evasion wearing thinner under the weight of the Highness’ relentless dissection.
